Hi all....

I have 10 auto super skunks about 4 weeks in. all have some flowers starting , but i just noticed 3 plants have bloody massive sacs. As they are garenteed females i assume that i stuffed up and shocked them into being hermies.
So what now ???? do i need to get these 3 away from the rest ? i noticed the sacs about a week ago , but thought it was impossible to get males so just ignored it. sadly they continued to grow balls.
could well do with some rapido advice on this as im stressin hard.
cheers

Becoming a hermie doesn't really mean it's no longer female. Both males and females can turn hermie. It's not either male, female or hermie, it's either male, female, and on top of that optionally hermie. There are no guarantees in any case.

Anyway, since you said "have bloody massive sacs", yes, remove them asap. Spray 'm down with water and pull a bag over it and remove it to avoid pollinating and getting seeds in the others.

Don't beat yourself up over it. Some plants are going to go hermie with or without any kind of stress. My plants live a mostly stress free lifestyle and I still get the random hermie here and there. Genetics plays a role in it as well. The real good thing is that you caught them before they blew their wad in your grow room and seeded your others.
