3.5 weeks of flowering (27 days) pics... notice anything different or strange?
Discovery made last night on this plant... I found a single male part on one of the lower branches =(. I searched pretty hard and only found the one single pollen sack, but I don't have much experience with hermies so I'm a little bit undecided what to do yet. Maybe I've been lucky or maybe the plants respond to my calm personality and have lowered stress levels so I don't get hermies haha. Anyways, its my understanding that once a hermie.. always a hermie, and even though I only found one pollen sack for now, more could develop, and it is probably best to chop her down and call it a loss? I've always been paranoid about hermies.. and I believe i've seen in pictures that sometimes male parts will actually grow within the female flowers, keeping them hidden until they open and release pollen? Unless I was mistaken in what I had seen. I've heard that the pollen sacks typically develop right at the bottom of a node, or right where it connects to the host branch/stem.
I know its pretty common to just remove male parts and continue to grow the female out, as long as there aren't an overwhelming number of pollen sacks, and if I had more first hand experience with hermies then I might do the same in this situation. However, I don't know how dangerous these things get at the stage its in now, and its not worth it to ruin other plants. Also I just filled up my smaller flower room otherwise I'd have had a separate chamber to finish her in... oh well.
Lemme know what you think about this hermy issue.. this is one of those things that I wished I wouldn't have to research in depth haha, but oh well, I guess it happens to everyone, for a variety of reasons.
