hermie problem

[clovisman]

in the past I have always removed a hermie at first sign- this morning I have 2 plants that have produced a male flower on each- these plants are large bud covered beauties- I have read post where people will remove each offending branch from hermies and still get a predominantly seedlees plant- is this worth the effort or should i eliminate the plants alltogether as I have in the past?? let me know how you would handle this situation

i thought to fully remove the male part of a hermie you had to completly take off the branch because the whole branch is male? (im not sure if this is correct that is why im asking)

Tox-I am growing outdoors- in the last 2 days I have seen only one more male flower- if I am lucky I will be able to keep the 2 hermies and harvest some buds from them- or they will turn full male and out they go

If anyone has a good pic of a plant's balls, please post it. I know what the male flower looks like, but I'll be damn if I have seen the balls.

Funky- in the past I have had entire limbs turn male and cut those - this time I had small branches grow from a node and I clipped the offending flower- so the answer to your question from my experience is -could be either way
