To Kill or not to kill.....

[Negus]

Hi all,

 

Here is my dilemma.

 

I had 5 lovely flowering females. BUT just today i noticed that one turned out to be a dude or hermie. All plants are in early flowering stages with decent amounts of white strands, but no red ones.

 

The balls can not have been there long as i check them regularly. The plants are all next to each other

 

My questions:

 

1. Would he have infected the others with his pollen already? Am i doomed to end up with 5 males?

 

2. If they are all inevitably going to be males, i would not want to kill this one?

 

SO

 

TO KILL OR NOT TO KILL??

 

Please help

If the balls haven't opened up and let their pollen out you should be alright.

 

Get the male away from the others ASAP though.

 

EDIT: There's stuff you can buy to give them a spray to fix accidents like this, 'Le Femme' or something I think it's called not 100% on that though sorry.

take the male out straight away! if only some of the balls have opened and puffed out their stuff you may only get a few seeds in the heads.

pull the suspect plant out...

 

isolate it and grow it seperately

 

 

if it is male, its not going to turn the females into males... it will get them pregnant with seeds

I would get rid of the male. You will waste all of your time otherwise.
