After drudging through a few threads and boards, some of Bodhi's stuff seems to have hermi tendencies, not high, but its there. I can't say that with the utmost certainty as I have never had one go hermi on me, and I have a lot of love for Bodhi so I make the hermi statement very unenthusiastically... But, some dudes report getting hermies on his beans occasionally, but its rare. Hermies can also arise from a few factors but the main one is stress. If youre just growing for yourself, I would let em go and then pick through the good ones and see what you get. But thats just me, I know some guys who would've ripped the plant out last week and completely sanitized their grow room.
If it was environment or pollen wouldn’t most of the others in the room(12) be going hermie too?
I believe this TC one actually had not been topped unlike one that’s a week behind that has been topped and appears to be all female.

I wouldn’t say i’m growing for myself. But either way i can sort the seeds out or sell it cheaper cause has seeds?

Just trying to establish if i need to like revaluation my room and see if there’s a light leak? Otherwise what stress causes that?

Sanitize the room with H202? Spray errything down?

I’d like to let it ride, it looks awesome. Has like 3 weeks left but don’t wanna has a negative affect on the majority of the girls

Any stress can cause a hermi or it can happen in a perfect environment based on gentics. As far as more seeds, if your seeing seeds now the event happened weeks ago. Damage is probably done at this point, unless the plant is still throwing fresh boy parts and releasing fresh pollen.

Nanners are male parts, on a female plant they are a indication of a hermi.
So if it has nanners it’s a hermi?

Seeds are the nanners grown out ?

Nanners are the male part that release pollen to polinate the female parts. They look like little bananas. A hermi is a female plant that exhibits male parts.
Okay.

And by no means did i mean any disrespect posting this. @Usefulseeds . Hopefully that was apparent. all the other TC testers i’ve run have been fine so either a fluke or by some
miracle I pollinated it ??

Yeah i just went up there, seeds for sure . In maybe half the plant . All other girls seem to be seed free.

I’ll either pick the seeds out or maybe just run it all for oil? Will depends how seedy it is.

Is it risky to take seeds off now

First things first, not all of these plants are clones of one another, each seed is a unique specimen. Some are going to be more prone to hermaphroditism than others. As for sorting the seeds from the bud, depending on how seeded she is, you can have 50 seeds, all the way up to a few thousand. When it comes to selling seeded bud to patients (or clients depending on your situation), thats your personal call. I dont. I will husk all of them then press them for my own use (rosin). Dudes like DJ Short personally love to smoke seeded weed, he says it has a different profile than standard bud weed. Im not sure if I agree with him, but the man has leaps and bounds more experience than I do. As stresses that could potentially make a plant go hermie, it can be light leaks, temperature, over/under watering, overfeeding, etc... Ive seen some plants hermie just from being transplanted. Some are just super finicky. To sanitize the room, initially rub everything down with DI, then dry it, then wash with a bleach solution, then again with DI.

One of your males could have had a ball open up and release a nice cloud of pollen. That pollen could then be your source of seeds.

If it was a female that hermied it'll take more than a single nanner to pollinate a lot of seeds. Now if that female plant had several nanners or a ball sack open up then seed city.

Just look over your flowering plants real well, if the seeds are from a herm you'll find the sack or nanners quick. If you find nothing then one of those males dropped an early sack on you.

You'll have to grow out beans to know for sure though.

You know me better than that, I just want to know where the pollen came from. I keep lookin at the pics, but do not see a pollen source.
The only time there was a male plant in the room was 6 weeks ago. And was taken at the very first sign of balls. I thought they usually needed a few days to develop pollen.

I’ll take some more photos this evening when lights come on.

And yes i figured you would understand, just wanted t make sure i was not upset. It’s a tester so was just trying to be up front hahah

Haha gotcha. I’d say i have clients not patients. haha, but i guess i’ll make that call later. Erryone has loved that TC so with maybe a warning and price drop i could move it or if it’s super seedy i could run it for oil of some sort( rosin, IWE, BhO).

What’s DI?

@Useful Seeds hey i know a while back you mentioned breeding a haze dominant plant and im considering my next grow. just wondering if you made any headway or will i have to wait a lil longer.... also do you have an opinion on splicing plants together.

I guess potentially, I may have saw one but thought it was a seed.

Hmmm. Now i’m trying to think

Wish I could attach a video of the plant.

That's a male flower right there at top of that bud. Those are the type of nanners that can seed a whole room, just sitting up top blowing pollen in the wind all day long.

It happens to the best of us. If they're all over plant you might need to chop it to spare other plants or try picking all male parts off to finish flowering.

I'd try popping a few of the seeds if theyre viable.
