Pollen sacks

Hey Guys,

My 3 plants are in their second week of flower. I have a Blue Cheese, LSD and Violator Kush that are all from Barney's Farm.

Anyway, by far my best looking plant is the violator Kush. So Today I was inspecting them for any signs of damage like mites or deficiencies and I noticed on my violator there were what looked like pollen sacks. They look like little mini watermellons (I will post pictures when I get home)

I only purchase female seeds and I know sometimes you can get a male even though it is female, but the thing is I have pistols as well. I guess it is a hermi with more emphasis on male traits.

So I removed the chutes that had them on there but some still look like they have them, but not sure since they are still small. I put it back in my tent for now figuring they are too young to pollinate..

My question is should I toss the plant or is there a way I can remove the sacks and save the plant? I only say this because it is showing female traits as well like pistols.



I dont know what it is about this strain from Barney....This is the 4th time trying to grow it. The first 3 I got the pick and mix from attitude and 2 of them popped and pretty much died from seed...My third attempt was 100% male and now I actually bought the 5 pack thinking maybe the pick and mix ones were cheap or something..lol.. like only the people who order the packs will get the 100% female..lol.. stupid thinking I know but I bought the pack and everything has been going beautiful until now. I really wanted to try this strain as you can tell...I love indicas and this is supposed to be pretty heavy.

Anyway, any ideas? I am thinking of tossing it, but I figured I'd ask first to see if anyone knew any tricks.

I will post pics later if that helps.

Thanks
 
it's a hermi, since you only have 3 plants if i were you i'd keep it. you can just keep picking off the pollin sacks and it'll be fine.
 
we cant do shit for you unless we see some pictures man i just had a reserva privada purple wreck go hermie on me i think that one could have been my fault i dropped a book on one of the branches and it bent it down it recovered this was first week of flower but after a few days i noticed ball sacks i should have taken it out put it in veg until the prob corrected itself but i have enough plants that its ok but you might wanna get some pictures up just to be sure
 
i personally wouldnt keep it unless you want a crop of seeds my buddy just had this happen to him its a huge wasted investment and you will have to look at that plant daily for pollen sacks and that has to be a thourough inspection top to bottom alot more time and risk than it is worth in my opinion if you could move it to a difft room it would be better
 
I will post some pics when I get home. I would love to save it but checking it that thorough everyday might not be in the cards. Maybe I can take every cola off except for one and just check that daily..lol...just kidding... I just want to try it so bad..A friend of mine had it and said he took one bong hit and was higher then he had ever been. I want a strain like that. I have to smoke a lot to get high anymore. So I want a good knockout strain. I mainly smoke for relaxation before bed to help me sleep. I am not into sativas all that much and thats all people have around here is dirt Mexican sativa strains that are so compact it feels like a rock (and not in the good way) I ran out of my stash from my last grow and didnt compensate for when I ran out. So I been getting it from people around here and it is just total low grade stuff. I literally bought an 1/4 and after taking all the seeds and stems out I weighed it and it came out to 3.3 grams. Now I know its not going to be exactly 7 grams but come on I am paying for an 1/8 of stems and seeds.
 
I never took pics because I ended up cutting her down since there were way to many sacs to keep up with. It was very depressing since she/he was such a healthy plant. I wish I had another room I could have put it in, but I do not and could not risk it pollinating the other 2. Oh well, I guess it happens to everyone at some point.
