Help Females w/Buds producing Pollen Pods!?

[Durameter]

You are fine. Go light on that blue junk. Pick of the testicles and learn.

Thanks for the positive feedback!

I've never used any MG nutes so I have no advice for ya there. BUT, your last 2 pictures have me worried. At the top of that bud (pretty sure its the same bud in both pics) it looks like you MIGHT have a nanner pod starting to grow. KEEP AN EYE on that nug and other nugs. If it is in fact a little nanner pod ( I call them nanners because they look like small banana's once they open) that is bad news. Usually a top view of the bud will show the biggest color difference and show hermie parts IN buds easier. The nanners are usually yellow and sometimes start out as a hard pod and opens up.

Just keep an eye on it. :rastasmoke:

I took another look at it today and it hasn't changed. I know Exactly what you're talking about, as I had 1 of those during this 'stress out'. I got it out early. So far this pod issue has only seeded three very small buds,, ,the ones that were underneath the pod that opened. Phew! Close call.
I will keep watching very closely. I've been down there everyday with a flashlight looking every inch up and down (15-20mins) per plant. Checking under every little leaf. They seem to hide under the small shoot lower leaves. At least for me here and now.

They're looking good.
BTW: And Yes, I know this is a tough question just by looking at the photos. But the one pictures that shows my 8 top plant...would you have "any" idea and how much cured product I'd get out of what you can see? Just a random guess is all I'm looking for. I'm just starting to get into it and we have a 2.5oz max here in MI, so I want to be sure I'm following the law. I'm not gonna take them all down at once. I'd like to do one with 80% amber hairs, milky trichomes, for more of a head clean high. And one with amber trichomes, the couch potato kind and not sure on the 3rd.

Thanks again a ton folks!!!

How is your ventilation in this room? there needs to be a constant supply of fresh air and exhaust, without it the plants get stressed.



Why are you getting dead leaves? Did you trim them using sharp, sterile scissors? This can also cause stress.

Ventilation is not the best, I have to admit. My wife is very against me doing this in the house with 2 kids...but I have it in a locked closed storage room in the basement (following the law). So I'm trying to keep the smell down. In this particular case, I think that saved me. I know it may have caused it, but at least it didn't blow it all over!!

I use a fresh clean razor blade when I trim off the yellow leaves. They almost just fall off and I think it's nothing more than nutes going to the buds instead of the leaves. Great tip though, thank you!

Why not just use the correct spectrum(s)? What have you done differently than your last sucessful grow?


Failure with bagseed is cheap. Failure with quality genetics is expensive. How old are the seeds you are using, and where did you get 'em? (bagseed, a friend, between the cushions of the sofa...)


Do not trim your flowering ladies. Dead leaves fall off on their own, and trimming can stress them into hermaphrodism.

Nice try with the vacuum, but the pollen likely went right through the filter and bag...and quite possibly pollinated the ladies anyway.

Yes...those are hermies. Whether stress-induced or genetic...they're hermies.
Would definatelly seek fresh genetics of quality, but don't spend a fortune till you've got this 'growing' thing figured-out. Get's expensive.

If stress-induced you can find/eliminate the stress and ride it out, but keep your eyes peeled for more nanners in the same area's on the plant you found the original nanners. If genetic, nanners will continue to form throughout the grow, including inside of the buds.

What MG nutrient are you using on the flowering ladies?

I used my Dyson vacuum and had the unit far away from the 'room' when I sucked up the pollen. Since I don't have any other seeding, I must have got lucky??

Man, I'm so fucking worried about getting hermies! I'm doing a couple different strains and I LST'd and FIM'd most of them... they are all very good clone genetics, but I hope I didn't stress them too much.

Can some mild stress in veg cause hermies down the road if the stress was resolved before flowering started?

1.if you want to keep the smell completely under control get a small ozoneator the wife and kids will not smell a thing!

2. get some 1 part nutes like Botanicare pro bloom soil or any organic bloom formula...you'll like your end product better....you will taste the MG at the end!

3. use soil like foxfarm ocean forest or happy frog and you will not need to feed them until you put them into flower!:thumbsup:

everything else you are doing great...keep up the good growin!

Hey thanks so much for all of the advice. I really do appreciate it. For the smell I got one of those room deodorizers that mists every 36 minutes and has a motion sensor too. That is in the middle of the basement mounted just next to the cold air return duct. Seems to be working wonderfully. I'm going to look into what you suggested too.

Also looking into the soil you suggested and nutes. Like I said before, this is my real first serious attempt indoors. I'm all about learning and taking advice from people who know what they're talking about. Unfortunately I seem to run into a lot of people who just recite what they've read google'ing too. I can do that myself. You seem to know from experience and for that, I'm appreciative!!

Many thanks. Happy Growing! I'm going to add you to friends' list if you don't mind!?!?:thumbsup:

From the picture I put up of my girl that's topped 8 times, do you have any guess on what kind of yield I'll get? Can you tell from that picture? or is it just too hard to say unless you saw it in person? How much do you typically get from a plant that's, , let's say 36" in height (I really do know that's such a vague and seed/strain/light/soil/nutes dependent question, but from your experience, got any ideas at all?

Thanks buddy!,

Apparently so. I didn't think so, as I had 4 plants growing and 1 was for sure male (took it down right away) and the other 3 looked female for 4 weeks until all of a sudden I had these polllen pods pop up. Looks to be under control now but..you never know.

Last summer I had one in the garden that was hermie from the start. I could totally tell there were male and female parts coming in right away. I decided to let it run it's course, figuring any bud is better than none at all. Big MISTAKE, , I had two other females that it seeded the hell out of them. Pretty much a waste.

Do like I've learned and just eyeball those babies everyday, up and down, every single inch and take your time. At least that's what I've learned from this and that's all I can ask for!!!

Good luck!

you are correct...too many variables to guess yield at this point...did you take cuts so you can run her again?

here to make friends and learn and share my little bit of knowledge :jointsmile:

keep it green bro!
