:(

Man, after all this time and love and hoping, I saw one and now, I think both, grow some little balls...:mad:

I'm so sad. Someone say something consoling. Please.

I only have 4 little 2 weeks babies coming up in the wings. They are of good Bubble Gum ancetry unlike their schwaggy forebears, the Transvestite Twins...

But what do I do with these horny hermaphrodites? Do I grow them out just to watch the performance? Will they get me high?
Or do I tear them out now and put in some of my stronger 2 week olds from the CFL converted phototron into the HPS cab?

CHOICE 1: Keep the hermies in the 70w HPS cab to finish flowering while I slow veg the Bubblegums under 5 CFLs in a converted phototron

CHOICE 2: Toss the hermies and put the 2 largest of the 4

Advice/Wisdom is most appreciated. :rastasmoke::wtf:

if your going to do scrog you should probably veg the bubble gum plants out for another 4 weeks or until they show sex and take clones and start the clones in the scrog under the hps and keep a mother plant around in veg
until then you could leave those in flower as you would have time to finish them but one looks bad and you may want to remove that one but if theres not very many pollen balls on the plants you should be able to get some bud off of them just pick off as many as you can and dont use any of the seed produced.

You can use them for cooking but you need aLOt.....several grams per cookie or something along that line.

I'm sure the hermies were caused by that bomb so you aren't going to have that same problem with the next grow right? Good.....in that case try this stuff next time. It works great. :thumbsup:

Thanks Weedhound and Sativa... I feel better. After some reading on Hermies, I guess I shouldn't have been so surprised. After all, this was bagseed and if it had seeds, it must have meant that IT was a hermie and hermies pass on their hermaphroditedness...
My next batch will be purebred Bubblegums... Until then, I will try to pick the male flowers from away from the female ones and preserve what I can while I vegg out the bubblegums.

Bejay,

That sounds like very good advice. I will do just that. Thank you for bending your mind towards my problem.
