Help got Hermie's !!

[DH06]

thanks, that's prety much what I wanted to know.

the ones coming out of my nugs are prety much a yellow color. I've never seen them before so hearing people call them bananas realy was the key to me knowing what they were since they look basicly like small bananas...

yea I'm going out tonight when the lights come on and start pickin bananas...LOL

Hey. Dutchmaster Reverse. It honestly works. I didnt believe it but it works. Had the same thing happen on a grow. About 1/3 had bananas. Sprayed them twice, about a week apart. No seeds or anything despite 30 plants being packed into a 5x5 area with a lot of air and movement.

If you do plug them by hand, lightly spray them so the pollen doesnt go everywhere if you bust one open. But seriously. Everyone I have talked to has had good or great results with the Reverse. I now use it as a precaution when they go into flowering.

Just the thought of getting hermies on my very first grow (few weeks in) makes me sick to my stomach. I hope you get this problem fixed, and I am curious to see what other people say can be done for this problem as I may face it in the future.

2 of 4 are hermis for me on my first grow. But i couldn't care less, even if it has a few seeds (pulling all male flowers off 2 plants isn't THAT big of a job...kinda) it will still be better than the schwag i've been smoking on for awhile. I'd rather get hermis my first grow than my 2nd once i use bought seeds

Did you buy that Penetrator stuff it says you should use with the Reverse? Or does it work without it?

hello racerx do u have a link to get some of that?

I'm very curious to hear about this also. VERY. I will tell you why soon in my thread...


Someone tell us how long it takes to "create" the seed after pollination...

I'm sure Bear or Stinky should know...and I could probably find out doing a search, but I'm hungry, so I'll do that when I get back if we havent heard anything.

Bummer about the hermies, man. Friggin' bummer.

hey f<r>og, once the pistils are pollenated, they'll turn red/brown within 24 hours. it generally takes 5-6 weeks for a seed to mature, though it can vary with conditions and strains. if you are trying to harvest seeds, it is recomended that you wait for a late harvest (70-90% of trichs turn amber) though i don't wait that long. i harvest when trichs are 50-50...

love, kp

soon i'll have pix for you fog.... don't forget about my strain study...

This is true. Your plants are too far along in flowering to worry about it much. You probably won't notice any difference in thc levels and the seeds will be immature.

Did you buy that Penetrator stuff it says you should use with the Reverse? Or does it work without it?

You need to use something that helps the leaves absorb it. I used something similar to Penetrator that isnt so expensive and is more concentrated. Both the Dutchmaster Penetrator and Reverse are already diluted so you dont add water. But Im sure even without anything its better then nothing. Just dont do it within 3 weeks of harvest if you can avoid it. If you get hermies 3 weeks before harvest they probably wont have time to develop into anything.

Hermies can come from a variety of reasons like light leaks, inconsistent lighting schedules, wide temperature and humidity fluctuations, high temps, bad strain, stress, etc.

so right now I'm looking at about 3 1/2 weeks till harvest so you guys would say just let it go ? I don't think any of the sacks have opended up yet ,I'm assuming that once it opens up the "banana" will be "split" open right ?
