What to do with hermies?


greeny

Recommended Posts

My 3 plants are all hermies!

 

I noticed some balls a week ago but there was about 99% fem flowers so i thought they were ok (never grown before).

I went away for 5 days and when i got back i noticed some have already released pollen. I broke some others open and there was yellowish powder inside so im pretty sure they are hermies,

 

What should i do?

 

I smoked some of the fem bud and am on my hole so i dont feel like chopping them.

They still have 4 weeks to go.

 

All are hermy so i guess my clones will be too?

It may not be a hermaphrodite. If random pollen sack's are forming in your flowers you got problems. But if a few sacks apear on the the stem and what not, just chop them off. Thats more of a 'Uni-sex plant'. If you get heaps forming then its again problematic. But if just a few little bits are forming every so often you can always try chopping the little sacks that form, but you would want to watch the plant closely/

If large patches form you can try and cut off the bud and isolating that area from growing male parts.

I have seen people get a glad wrap sized bag, and tie of the end around the stem if a big bud really goes male. That is if you don't want to cut a big chunk off and stress the plant or want to collect pollen. Its always going to depend on your circumstances. Maybe you should try posting some photo's :peace:

 

As for your clones

If your clones are from these plants yes,

If the clones are from these plants partents yes.

If you got fresh clones... naa.

Again that is veried on your circumstances...

 

I hope this helps buddy. Post pictures :peace:

I found quite a bit of pollen has already been dumped but i cut off the worst offending buds and branches and am drying them out to smoke later.

The majority off the males are found lower on the plant with strong fem buds at the top.

I think i will cut the worst plant but grow the others out.

can you smoke seeded bud enjoyably?, cos it looks like there will be way more weed than i expected.

 

Will post pics asap.

Yep!!! Hardly ever got any smoke in the 70's 80's without seeds in the bag. Wonderful sound having a seed pop while smoking a joint. Some would say it is not as strong as seedless but I have had some very good smoke from seeded cannabis.
