hermi do i chop at week 6 or let them go

[thenew start]

hey folks its been a while,i need your expertise again.my girls are 39 days into flower so i would say they were week 6 where they put on most of there weight.tonight i found a seed forming on one of my buds so i presume there hermiing.also i,ve noticed that the hairs on the buds are changing quite quick a well.does that happen when they start to hemri?does the plant just start to shut down and the hairs go brown?your input would be very helpful.thanks.by the way i,m doing hydro,flood and drain trays.do they stop growing when they hermi folks or what?thanks.

does the plant just start to shut down and the hairs go brown?

I'd like to know the answer to this question as well. If a pistil is pollinated, does it immediately start to turn brown? Or, can a brown pistil be pollinated?

If a pistil gets pollinated it will oftentimes turn brown quicker than the others, but that's not always necessarily a sign that it has been pollinated... it might just mean it was an older pistil. I wouldn't chop the plant down, especially since you're so far into flowering, but I would take it aside and get a good look at the bud sites with a magnifying glass. If you see any tiny banana shaped pods hanging down from the buds, pinch them off as soon as you find them. That should curtail more pollination until it's time to chop it down.

If you want to avoid getting seeds you could go get some Dutch Master Reverse and spray the herm one! This product seems to do miracles killing the males parts... How far from harvest are you ?

(not sure wot) but all turned herms caused by a light leak, i think, will the seeds be of any use to me and when will i know when they are ready to harvest.
