Removal of Pollen Pods causing Stress?

[Infinitee]

Hey all, just a quick Q...

 

I have 1 plant (Purple Haze) that turned hermy, outdoors. It is in third week flowering.

 

I would like to remove some (or as many) of his pollen pods (little male ball things), so that the female parts won't get pollinated too quickly and stop producing resin.

 

So my question, if i was to remove with tweezers the male pods that look almost ready to pop, would that cause the plant too much stress. Or being a hermy, would it frantically try to produce more male parts in order to successfully reproduce?

 

There are a couple that look about ready to burst, so any help would be great, ASAP. :scratchin

 

Thanks.

Yeah i would get rid of them, and yes it will prolly make more.

it comes down to a daily task otherwise ya going to have alot off birdseed

stress? not noticeble

IMO

Thank you and..... Thunk you.

 

I've got no worries attending to it daily, I spend more time with my plants than I do sleeping, but then again I sleep right next to my plants anyway!! ::

 

If there is a bit of pollination it's not a huge worry anyways, as I'm planning to butter him/her anyway.

 

Thanks again Fraz. :thumbsup

If I had a hermie anywhere near my other plants I would be pruning its balls at ground level and turning it to butter as soon as it was discovered.

yeep waste o lecky them blokes ......... execute the bastard :thumbdown

Ok then, thanks guys.

 

I'll go with my original plans of butter in a week or two then and just prune balls till then.

 

I don't think there's any risk of pollination of my indoor fems though, maybe possible but not bloody likely.

 

Thanks again everyone.

Didn't realise it was all alone, in that case just keep pulling the flowers if you want, there is still a risk of some minor pollination of you indoor plants though.

Thanks for the warning, i'll try and keep the indoor's doors closed when possible to avoid pollination.

 

Also, i was wondering, with my very basic understanding of genetics.......very, very basic understanding...... the pollen of the hermie'd plant should have a 50/50 chance of hermying....correct? If you fertilized a proper female with this pollen....then 3 out of 4 seeds should (theoretically) be proper female, while only 1 would turn out to be a hermy.

 

Is this in anyway right? Coz i'd like to keep some Purple Haze gen's if i can, but don't want all hermies either.

 

Any thoughts?

[Frazz]

Just dont go handling ya indoor buds after handling pollen bags without washing hands

 

As for the use of hermie pollen....wouldnt have a clue, but why not give it a go, got nothing to loose

 

Next to my mother-in-law hermies are my worst nightmare

[Infinitee]

, i hear that.

 

But i do have something to lose if they all turn out to be hermies, for one all the hermies (if they all do become hermies) could hermy-pollinate my other outdoor plants (6 of which got ripped yesterday by some ruthless cunt of a cop) and turn them into hermy-seed bearing, pollinated piles of shit.

Also, if i try pollinating a plant with hermy-pollen i lose a bud and a bud is a terrible thing to waste (especially when your down to 2!!).
