you can pluck them off if there is only a few. you'll have to keep a close eye on them.

if there are too many you can cut a branch off or what have you.

check for light leaks. other possibilites are pH issues, nute issues, other lighting issues or the beans could have been from hermies (seeds from hermies have a tendency to hermie).

sounds like a hermie. can you post a pic? you should check your grow room for light leaks. heat can stress your ladies too. how are your temps running?

[jboogie]

what light issues and what problems can they cause? what should i be looking for?

[jboogie]

the room gets to the high 80s but has plenty of fans and ventalation, my 1000watt hps light gets hot though. i shut the light off at 5 but not always exactly at five, sometimes within the hour, the same happens when i turn on the light., i dont always turn it on at exactly the same time, but sometimes a few minutes later. could this be my prob?

the balls are definetly male parts, i had the same on a plant in the very beginning of the 12/12 and i had to kill him.

ph 6.2 temp70sin the dark, high 80s when the light is on , occassionally hitting 90. i forget the name of the nutes, but they are well known, anything else i think of i'll post. oh yeah growing hydroponically 1000 hps, 3 plants
