hermies: what do you do?

what do you do it you have a hermie that already released pollen?

say the plants are budding, would it be wise to remove all the pollen sacks you can?

wont the plant spend too much energy creating seeds? so what do you do ?


Consider its a small grow, like 3 plants.

thanks

pollens out ?....too late
let the females finish maturing ...you'll have some seeds,in the bud.... they r easier to pick out later when they're bigger.

I think I might be getting acouple balls, but hairs came out of a couple of them... I should be alright right? I only have one by the way... will it hurt bud production if it pollantes? Or will I just have some good 2nd generation seeds?

You'll have bad second generation seeds. Get rid of the sacs as soon as you can.

EDIT: Wait, there's pistils coming out of them? They're probably female then, post a picture.

I took my hermies out...they will be good for hash. All they do is ruin the rest of the crop. Seeds will be 90% hermies...hermies = hash. Nothing else. Dont bother with taking the balls out either...if you miss one or it lets a little bit of pollen out, you are screwed! Good luck!

this is exactly what i had, at first. some of the sacks turned to bud.

so i thought since this was my first grow i didnt know what a male sack looked like and i was confusing it with beginning of buds.

but now i know my first guess that those were pollen sacks and the plant went hermie... was correct.

i think they went hermie because the person who had them when they were babies treated them really really bad.
