Its a herm.

Is it the only plant in your garden- let it go- pick off as many balls as you can.

It will still be good bud.

I have 2 plants but that is the bigger one, if its not to much would it be possible to mark on the picture exactly what to take off.

should not effect the quality you just may wind up with viable seed's, seeds take 4-6 wks to mature. then about 3-4 to dry, not really that bad just study the pheno this plant has, plant any new seed from it and cull that pheno out.

now ask your self why did this happen whats going on in my grow that could have caused this.

hi heat???
light leaks during dark??? 2 main culprits

did the plants experince any kinda stress if so what type stress, only thing i can suggest is go over what you done and your set up. to try and rid yourself of any problems that could have caused them to hermi.

About 5 days ago part of the vent got closed so the closet got up to about 100F instead of the normal 75 and it dried out and started to wilt the plants but they bounced back really quickly once I fixed the vent and watered them. My question is would this have caused the hermy or could it have been caused by something like a small light leak over the last 30 days (I dont know how fast they herm when stressed to much)

Hermie if you keep it everything in the area will go to seed. You can pick them off but some are not easy to see. This is to early.

A 30 day light leak is the most likely culprit, block that light.

I have a plant that is slightly hermie. Only a few of the lower, older secondaries produced a few balls. I just kept picking off the few balls that formed. Once, one formed and opened OVERNIGHT and seemed to polinate the bud below it. The fans were off so it didn't spread.

Is there a way to tell if the bud is seeded by looking at it? I am just wondering the extent of the damage :)

Also if any of the buds are seeded for sure should I cut them off so the plant focuses on the seedless buds? or would this stress the plant to much
