I'm in the same boat as you are folks! Got a female turned hermi here...she's in a closet with a full top shelf female...I don't want the hermi to pollinate my good and strong female! Log for pîcs!

shake, i'm sorry to hear you're playing the crying game. i don't think bud production will pick back up, but yeah, i'd nick the seeds off. save for emergency, and vigilantly watch for the start of any more pollination. then, before your next run, remove every living plant from the area, and spray down EVERY surface with 1:100 water:bleach solution. let stand for a bit, then wipe dry. the water will neutralize any leftover pollen and the bleach is just cause i like the idea of disinfection. best of luck & i hope they're femmed seeds!

thanks golden! i am just trying to figure out what happened. i guess the male must have popped a few sacks before he died. i don't see any nanners. is it easy to tell when the seeds are ripe?
i guess that means that i should go ahead and chop those two.
on a side note, i should be building a bucket today! i need some cat litter so i figured what the hell. why not. and i think some new nutes are in my future. i think i'm gonna go with the fox farm soil trio, and at least the cha-ching. i'm gonna try to convince my wife that i need all three of the solubles too! i found a really good price on the stuff!
i'll update with some pics in a bit. once i take all the ladies out. the other log will be getting an update too.

and golden, are we still gonna make a new troubleshooting form? i think all that we can do the better, seeing as stinky is gone and whatnot.....

i've heard that 2-3 weeks are necessary for viable seeds to be made. never had to deal with it though, so i'm not sure. i'm sure that once they're close to done, the seed pods will start to open up to drop them.
be wary though, don't wanna lose one in the soil! maybe putting down some white paper with a slot cut for the stem to cover the soil. or maybe thats too cautious... i dunno, i'm baked. :jointsmile:
kudos on the bucket plans! i've got mine up and running, but i sure could improve it. but i really like the ease of them. a container i have to buy anyway, $12-$15 air pump, some pipe insulation i already have for my bubble cloner, and a $4 air stone. cut holes for the air tubing and the pipe insulation, fill with water, add my canna nutes (they auto pH my water), and bingo! i've made two now, and they each took about 10 minutes to throw together.
i need to lightproof the bucket and lid a little better, but i've been lazy as of late.
best of luck with everything, brother!

good looking gg! i think i'm gonna chop the two with the seeds because it seems that the molasses has caused undergrowth like crazy. and the one is not looking that great up top. i've got to make room soon because the youngsters are growing like crazy. i might just have to learn from the first go round and move forward soon. decisions, decisions!?
i think i've spotted maybe like 5 beans on each of the two plants. i'm gonna inspect more thoroughly in a bit. i've got company at the moment. i'm gonna clean them up, and continue flushing with the molasses added. it seems to be doing wonders! and i'm gonna get the fox farm soil trio and hopefully add the soluble tri-pack soon.
and i guess i'm gonna have to get a bottle of the hydro grow soon too! and more lights. and some fans. it never stops!

oh, did you see the post about the troubleshooting form? somebody is gonna have to start doing stuff around here with stinky gone!
headhake... if you wanna post on my log, try scrolling to the right. The page is bigger than usual, I don't know why. The post box is there but you have to find it! Scroll a bit down and to the right, and you'll find what you're lookin for!
what's good everyone? i have a few major reportings. the two plants with seeds got chopped! ok, the one that became riddled with seeds and 1/3 of the one that had a few.
the other two ladies look fine (minus the burn on the big one). she has a bud on her that i can't fit my hand around!
i put the other 2/3 of the chopped lady back into flower. just to see what happens. it seems that they loved the molasses! there was tons of new pistils all over the girls.
i'm hoping the others are ready soon. the youngsters are getting restless!

pic 5- the plant that totally got chopped
i forgot to mention that i don't have a scale so i didn't get to weigh it yet. i hope to get one tomorrow.
i have it in brown paper bags under the stove right now. think that will suffice? they weren't really hangible. i'm sure that was because the way i cut them. live and learn.
