ya, like lit up says, genes is suspect numero uno. nothing you can do about that. once a plant hermies and produces bag seed, and you come by and grow those seeds, the hermie cycle is pretty much locked in place. HOWEVER, you can do plenty to prevent excess seeds from forming. culprit number 2 after genetics is light leaks imo. make sure there are absolutely zero light leaks. plants tending to hermie will put up a fit if there is even the slightest light leaking. heat stress is another biggie. make sure your plants receive adequate ventilation and air circulation. have a fan running while the lights are on and make sure the temps are okay. the key here is STRESS FREE. anything you suspect will cause the plant to stress out, will likely result in more seeds. less stress, less seeds. if you can conquer a plant that is known to hermie, then you can more than easily raise purchased, high quality seeds without having to worry about hermies. growing bag seed is tougher overall than growing purchased seeds.
macnasty Reviewed by macnasty on . Is my plant a hermie???? I dont know what the hell is going on but its the 12 week of growing indoor and I am using a HPS 400 watt with a 55,000 lumens light bulb. My plant is female and its got nice buds on it along with good bright nice colors on it and it smells skunky as hell. My whole room smells like as if I stash a pound of skunk in my room. But anyways I attached some pictures to it. Its like on some buds its got those seed looking pods in it and i dont knwo if its turning into a male but how? I only have one Rating: 5
