my first hermi

[socialistpete]

I just found some seed sacks on lower portions of one plant, removed her from the flower room and proceeded to kill it. I'm on day 19 of flower is the rest of my crop in danger?

Yes! check on the internodes for banana shaped pollen sacks! suck these off with a hoover.. attach a long thin pipe down the hoover then place the end of the pipe next to any bananas. This a bitch of a job as they keep growing back. You also might want to mist lightly before doing this to ground any pollen in the air. If you dont do this theres a strong change your whole grow will end up seeded.

Were they open? If they hadn't had time to open, you'll be alright. Hermies can be treated. I'm about to harvest 7 gals in a few days, 5 hermied on me for the last 3 weeks of flowering. Spending about half an hour each day combing through each gal, I bet I haven't got more than 15 seeds in the whole harvest. These last couple of days I couldn't care less, it's too late for pollen to ruin my crop, I'm home free.
Interestingly, the bananas have stopped, now that the flowers are almost mature.

Hermies can be saved, if you're willing to spend some time on them.

I just cut her down, and the sacs weren't open so hopefully I'll be ok. Thanks for the quick response guys:thumbsup:
