Hermie Question

Hey Guys -

Quick question for those of you who have had to deal with plants that go herm.

So I've got a small setup with 5 plants a couple different strains. I am 3.5 weeks into flower.

One of my larger plants about 1 month ago started showing some "questionable" growth below the flower areas.. the place where I've seen some plants from past grows show male pollen sacks. I kept an eye on it.. figured I had some bad luck and would have to pull it. Well.. about a month later I'd say 98% of those areas burst open with female flowers.. almost like it reverted back to female. We'll there are a couple areas, I'd say less than 2% of the bud sites that did come through with male pollen sacks.

So my question is.. would you guys:
A) Pull the entire plant out of grow and chop it up for extraction
B) Keep a close eye on it and remove all male pollen sacks before they develop.

The reason I am having trouble making the call is if I remove it I'll lose up to 1/4 of my Harvest. The down side of course is seeds through the entire harvest.


Any help appreciated

I'd pull it. To me, it's not worth the chance.

sounds like you have male sacs at the preflower sites? try pulling them off and see if they return. Just watch them if there are not too many and don't let them burst. A few seeds is not going to ruin your harvest imo.
If on the other hand you have nanners I would be tempted to dispatch the offender. They are more likely to pop up again
