alright i have one plant in my garden that is doing very well. Shes been flowering for 4 weeks and she has nice buds on her. I was checking her out last night and noticed a little pollen sack right next to the hairy female pre flowers.
It is one of the best plants in my garden and I dont want to just kill it. If i keep on carefully removing the balls can I salvage her?
And one other question I took a couple clones of the same plant. Are the clones also going to turn Hermie on me?
hi man
try not to stress to much man a hermie plant is male and female together..it sounds more like a male sack that can pop up 3rd to 6th node at start of 12/12.
dont worrie just pick it off and keep ur eye on her and if theres more poping up on her then u can chop!
the cuttings are a of the exact genetics so if the plants starts going hermie then yes the babies will be the same ....but again something might have trigered the plant to produce male sacks so the babies might be ok but again u never know!
peace and love

yeah i could only find one sack that was on the 5th node. I just saw the ball and knew that it shouldn't be there. Its been a couple of days and I havent been able to see anymore growing or hiding so im just hoping that there wont be very many more,
I sure hope that the clones are going to be fine because its one of the best plants i have and i wanna keep the strain alive.
Sounds like a bag seed plant. Some times these things happen. Yep, you want to cut out the male part and let her continue, do the same to the clones. The flip side of that is you just stressed her out going into the flower cycle. seen it happen more than once. good luck.
You could also take the pollen from the hermie sack and put it on another female and you could make 100% feminized seeds, or at least thats what i read
I thought to feminize seeds required one to induce a hermie with gibberonic acid. That is, chemically induce some cohenes rather than have a plant that had the genetic ability to grow its own cohenes.Quote:

I treated it the first day of flowering and every ten days after that I had a 90% pollen reduction compared to the last batch so I know it works. But it cost about $20 a bottle I went through 2 bottles but gained more Oz's in the end
you are right but that is only used to force a plant to Hermie. if you already have a female plant that Hermie then you do not need gibberonic acid and your seeds will result in fem seedsQuote:

I ordered Master Kush from Dutch Passion and on the first grow I ever did they hermed, but I've been using Reverse ever since and haven't had any problems. My first grow was riddled with stress inducing problems as well, so make sure and keep your pH steady and your flowering room light free.
its been days and I havent seen anymore pop up. Nugs are looking very sweet and tasty too so im just gunna keep my eyes peeled and my fingers crossed.
