First grow need advice

Definitely a hermie bro

One of my babies turned hermie after my idiot little brother sprayed it with pesticide. It killed few pistils and made the plant turn hermie.

You can try (painstakingly) remove the sacs, but they will grow again, so it is a everyday process and still there are high chances of a sac opening and pollinating the entire crop

Ok- pulled it out this morning and definitely cannot remove them all-
I inspected the plant carefully and there are no hangers and the ones i picked seem to have a immature seed inside. I even found what looks like a non viable seed that pushed out of a bud and was sitting on it.

I am not going to chance it- it is going in the trim pile. The others are showing no signs of pollination yet- I will keep a close eye on them and start another into flowering- I have 3 more in veg waiting to go.

Upon close inspection my runt looks to be just starting to herm- this one is rather a small plant-face off og-

Pollinated- herm- or calyx on this one-

It’s a herm for sure, if it’s your only plant you can finish it, your bud will be seeded but if it’s not to bad you’ll have something to smoke on. Worst case and it’s super seeded you make some bubble hash or blast it for bho.

By the looks of it, you're gonna have seeds in your crop.

I am only interested in growing quality- time to man up and try again- chalk it up to learning. Luckily I have some good medical to use in the meantime. I am not going to waste my time with these.

Close up of the third one- looks like they are all going- the others are axed.
Makes me wonder if I did something wrong or if the genetics were no good. All seeds saved from medical.

They could have been pollinated by one of the hermies.
They will still be a decent smoke though

Damn man that socks! I was hoping it was just the one. Hate it for ya..

Man that is really bad luck! At the risk of sounding like a humble brag; I've never personally had a hermie. I have had some throw bananas before but never had full blown pollen sacs with pistils.

Tell us about your set-up, environment, ect.

Honestly I'm as surprised as anyone. I've grown tons of bagseed over the years and contrary to the research I did when I first started growing, no hermies.

Looks like your growing in a closet? I'd put it down to light leak personally mate. Go autos next time you can you same environment with no chance of light leaks (if that is the case) causing it to herm

They look healthy otherwise in my opinion so your doing something right. Don't beat yourself up about it tho if you start autos ASAP you can have some smoke in 65 days!

Growing in my basement- temp was a steady 68-70 during veg. Using qty 2 300w mars hydro LED lights- finishing room is small set up in a closet- temp was 69-71, humidity usually around 50percent in both locations.
Fans in both locations.
Finishing room has qty 1 300 watt Bloom plus and 2 4 ft burples for some extra reds during flowering.
I am using coco coir in 2 gallon fabric pots with 25-30 percent perlite.
GH flora series nutes with cal mag
Always 5.8-6.3 ph after all nutes are mixed.
Just started Koolbloom liquid and dry a couple days ago.
All plants are on racks with tubs under to catch the over flow- they are not sitting it water.
I did flush- but not every other watering as I probably should have.
I shocked this group with 30 hrs dark before going to 12/12 and recently took 15 minutes off so the dark is a bit longer than light.
These were beginning week 5 which seems like a popular time to herm.
Please bring on the advice- and be kind- like the bud i am try to grow! &
