Hermie.. NEED HELP

[cwesto]

Ok i had a bout with some bananas early in flowering and know they are back, i just noticed them this morning on my biggest budding plant. So what do i do about these bananas they look like some of them have already opened..... SHIT. So i mean do i just pick the bananas off the buds??? The buds are getting pretty big. Norkali was tellin me about a product by dutch passion called reverse that kills all the males flowers.. anyone else heard of it??

[cwesto]

it seems like the buds that are showing the males flowers are the highest buds. I bet all buds have them its just the ones closest to the light have grown faster... what do i do about this problem. I dont want to start pinching off male flowers cause that would be streesful... WAHT DO I DO???????

[stinkyattic]

Yank off the male flowers. Really. It's too late to worry about a relatively insignificant stress like that when you've already got herms. You could be getting them from high temps nearest the light. It's a common cause of nanners.

[cwesto]

Well Stinky theres kinda alot of male flowers.. they are like everywhere on the 2 highest buds.. so i should just start picking then??

[stinkyattic]

Yikes. How much longer to harvest?
You have a couple choices.
Pick the male flowers individually- requires constant attention, a couple times per day just to get the bulk of them. You still can miss some.
Harvest the affected buds early. Be sure to seal off the main stem when you do this wiht a binder or laundry clip after making the cut.
Harvest the whole plant early.
Or just deal with the seeds.
None of these are ideal. What is the origin of those seeds again?

[cwesto]

There is about 3 weeks left tell harvest, if i just pick off the males flowers how many seeds will i have?? Will there be like as much seed as bud? or like seeds here and there?? I hate the shity bud i smoke sometimes that is like half seeds and half bud. If it will be like that ill just chop the plant in a week or so..

amsterdamseedbank.com or somethin is where i got em from, they have been bitchs so far :( but it could just be my newbness screwin things upu too i dunno

Hmm well i dunno what to do know, pick bananas like i live in the congo, or chop my baby down............ Fu*k

Heres a pic of the naners i got off of her in like 5 minutes, and im pretty sure that theres a bunch more in-between her cola bud sets. When I was picking them I didnt have anywhere to put them cause both hands were busy so I decided to eat some of the naners since they smelled so good, they tasted decent:).... the things i do when im high

[stinkyattic]

Shit, you're done for. Chop. With the amount of already OPEN nanners, if you wait another couple days, your bud will be full of tiny pips, not even mature seeds. And mature seeds are easier to pick out than pips. Yuck. That's a BAD banana crop. Wonder if you can sell em to Dole... :(

[cwesto]

Chop... right now r u sure?? Hey what is a pip?.... but yea u think i should chop it then, like right now?? Should i chop my other plant also?? its in the same room so i imagine i should

Dear lord what has happened to my garden

[stinkyattic]

This is your call. I can't even begin to tell you how bummed I am for ya. Your plants were looking so good- they STILL are- that sucks so bad it's not even funny. You ever get bud with tiny little white/green hard things in it? Those are unripe seeds and they SUCK to get out.
Okay. This is what I would do personally in your situation.
I would chop the herm plant immediately.
Inspect all other plants for herm nanners.
If you find none, or so few that you can go and pick them off daily, leave them to finish.
Allow them to REALLY finish up well, so that any seeds you already have are fat and ripe.
Hint, a grinder that has pyramid-shaped pegs in it seems to be a very effective way to de-seed bud. Grind, dump on a small tray like a sushi plate, tilt it, and manipulate the pile of ground material with the edge of a credit card so that the seeds roll down and away from the ground herb. This doesn't work well if the seeds aren't most of the way ripe, or the plant matter is not fully dry.

Yea i have nice grinder withe the keef catcher..

So Stinky will this weed be smokable from the plant that is going to be cut down here momentarily?? being that it is only 36 day thru bloom??

[CultureCherryPopper]

From experience, nah. I had to emergency chop all my plants last grow 5 weeks into flower. Maybe an 1/8 was picked, and none of it smokable. Sorry bout your loss bro. I'm worried a plant scheduled for mother hood is becoming hermied. I LST'd her, and topped one of the first strong upward growths. Now at that node there is an unusual growth. It's under constant light, so I'm not too worried about it, but I am worried that this plant won't become the mother I wanted after all.

Next time use your Reverse BEFORE you see the nanners.

Sure you don't have a light leak?

Yea im sure there are no light leaks, but ill check again.

I dont have any Reverse or i would have used it. I plan on getting some incase this happens next time.. Weedhound what signs should i look for to know if its hermies before the nanners apear??

That is the only indication of a hermie that i saw
