Basically i have 4 Indoor planets, they are afghan and they are in week 9 of flower, the strain is a 12 weeker, so they have 3 weeks left on them till finish.
I have lots of bud sites and most have 3-4 colas each that are about a foot long, buf development is nice as is trichome production.
i was inspecting my babies as you do Yesterday night and i noticed some little yellow things in some of my buds, after further investigation i see all 4 plants have these Nanna's Scattered all over the place.
i managed to pick some off with some tweezers and a spray bottle of water to spray any unwanted pollen, but i know there is more in there somwhere, i havent seen any "balls" as ppl call them, just Nannas, i dont know what cuased it, maybe i must have a light leak or the cuttings i got was from a hermie itself, who knows, doesnt matetr now becuase its done allready, now i have to try minimise it.
So thought id come here to get some tips to get the most out of the grow as im not guna exactly chop em down 3 weeks early there not ready :(

I was going to get some dutch master reverse, but as iam in week 9 of 12/12 now im not sure if it will work? anyone had any experiance using this product this late in flower?
Or does anyone have any other tips that could help me.

Any advice is Welcome, Cheers. :rastasmoke:

p.s cannot include pics as my camera broke, but the nanas are actually in the buds :wtf:

This is commonly called a hermie, but is actually an "intersexual" and most often occurs at the end of flower cycle. Pick as many off as you can, yes, spraying water kills the pollen that hasn't already done harm. It is a reaction to stress, age, and the desire for the plant to complete it's life cycle.

I advise you to check the trichomes, as soon as cloudy, harvest or risk another week. You see, once pollenated the cola puts all effort into seed production, not the sticky THC to attract pollen. The quality of the product does decrease, depending on how badly it has been fertilized and is working on seeds.

You will have nanners you can't see in the buds.....

Thanks for the Quick reply.

Yeh I figured there was alot more inside, i was opening up buds and finding them, i have cuaght it very early to be honest, i thoughroly investigate them on a daily basis and only just spotted them yesterday as far as i see the more mature nannas that was close to opening, i picked off and sprayed the areas well.
this is a 12 week strain so its not down to age, i think its just a strain that could hermie easily.

in any case they have 2 weeks left minimum, trichomes are no where near ready.
so i gotta fight for the next 2 weeks to save as much as i can and stop as much seeding as possible, so basically i should just look around the plant and pick them off 2x a day and try to stay on top of it?
what about this ducth master reverse is it Viable?

Reverse wouldnt have worked plants are too far into flower now it would have cuased more damage then good.
instead my grow shop told me to get GHE Ripen instead and give it them for 10 days followed by 2 days darkness this will hopefully increase THC productiion in my last 2 weeks and il just have to try and minmize seeding by carefully picking off the Nanna's.
Hope it goes well or im stuffed lol, they only got 2 weeks left anyway il see how it goes.
Anyone used this Ripen before and does it give good results? :rastasmoke:

REVERSE Product | English (http://www.dutchmaster.com.au/?language=english&page=product&product=REVERSE)

As I see it you spray only the leaves and not the buds, so their is no time you cant spray revers, and when used with saturator, I Can see how only if the fan leaves are sprayed then no bud rot can occurred, it does say to spray with the lights on, and i see no reason why not too as long as the lights are very high like 20inches or more off the plant, then when dry normal light hight can happen.
