Hello today i spotted that every one of my plants are polinated with seeds 4 weeks into flower so sad :(
I found two hermies of different strains sour diesel and Candy kush thoose two have released pollen.
My question is how is this possible i have grown for couple of years and my setup is good in my opnion.

The only porblem i have is slighty over pressure in the tent (carbon filter sucking the air out)
and high humidity around 70% wich i was about to change now when they start to bulk up.
And my runoff was 5.2 in soil very strange that is goes down so acid when i add 6.5. Can anything of this make theese hermies because i av confused?

Im gona start a new grow with trusted seeds how do i need to sanitise the room / tent to gett rid of all the pollen scrubb filter etc? Please help / Flodas

how far have they seeded? is everything pollinated or just a select few? can you trim the nanners? Ive taken branches off a flowering plant that had nanners, nothing new popped up the rest of the grow and only a couple seeds overall. my tent is over pressurized during dark, and vacuumed during light period and I don't have much issue. I've heard that watering with super cold water can trigger hermies and throw seeds, not sure if that's a myth or not but my water always sits out at room temp for 24 hours before I use it.

well you just wasted 15 plants out of fear, if you had let em finish they would have been smokeable. Sure they might of had a few seeds but they'd have also been frosty and still potent. I've been forcing late herms for the pollen my last few cycles and the bud finishes just fine. Worst case scenario you make wax or edibles. However they aren't worth a shit at four weeks, the thc is barely there, and you don't even get the benefit of growing out the seeds. I say all this having been where you are and doing what you did years ago, and having since gained lots of firsthand experience with late herms

Im gona start a new batch. Its wasta but i cannot give away something with full seeds i mean they would be something full of seeds thats not worth it.

Now i have to clean everything in the room and all the gears. How do i clean the scrubber filter? How long does pollen survive?

also, did you see lots of seeds forming or is it just assumption? Is there tons of visible pollen? The pollen from nanners isnt as mobile as pollen from a male or early herm, or a genetic herm. Its not a room killer. Even if folks don't want seeds you coulda made a big batch of wax, seeded plants still make plenty of sticky

Don't worry on the pollen spray the whole tent down with.......... You guessed IT
H2O!!!! Kills the pollen by triggering it to start fertilization without the female.

No joke! works with every plant in the world

The fans should be pumping air out of the tent and the intake fan if you have one will not have pollen in it

Oh! And one last thing. Am I mistaken in that you just slaughtered a whole generation of sour candy cush diesel? Seriously I would have waited a couple weeks and started over with that strain at least let alone grew em out smoked the bud and made a killing off of a "new cross"

Wow! you threw away all those Feminized crosses you would have had I would have harvested the seeds they would have all been female! Probably would've been some fire in there.

Hermie pollen makes hermie seeds that grow hermie plants. And seeded plants have way lower yields and reduced amounts of resin tho potency is about the same.

Still would have grown the plants out for lots of decent smoke and tossed the seeds all over town for shits and giggles.

Im smoking some seeded bud at the moment. Im pretty smashed..bongsmilie

I think the bad rap seeded bud gets is due to the extra weight it adds to a "deal", not any perceived potency lost..

if the plant is small enough, its reasonable to just pluck the balls that show on a hermie and you're good to go. fat nuggets..
