Is the bitch turning on me?Hermie??

[GrassArt]

Help!

I'm at exactly one month of flowering this sativa/indica bagseed mix. I think she might be hermying! What the hell do I DO WITH a female plant that has seeds? Can I just smoke it and be like w/e do better next time? Or do I need to cut off the branches with seeds??

WTF!!! Lame this plant was doing so amazing!






Is she bloody hermying! Not all the sites have these seed things....
All the bud sites...




Top cola..



Seeds????








Took one of the little buggers off with my fingers and broke him open, so looks like a seed .






My god help a brother out! I dont want to pollinate my entire garden...

What do you do with hermies!!!

if you have other females in the garden i would WACK that hermie!!! you can dry all the bud even the shit with seeds in it and then smoke it like any other weed....but if you leave it in the garden and more pollen sacks open your risking all im mean absoloutley every single bud with a seed in it...get it out now~~!

 

[facelift]

Some people get different results. People are yelling cut it, all your but is going to get seeded. I've been through this, but I needed the seeds at the time. In fact I wanted them. It may not end up being as harsh as you think, but I don;t know the extent of the hermi.

In my plant, only a few pollen sacks showed up and only the plant the hermi'd ended up with seeds. I had an 8 inch fan blowing in a 2x3x4 foot box too. Not every branch on the plant had seeds either. This has happened twice in my gardens, and the total seed production was, just a minute.....

54 seeds combined in approximately 1/4 pound.

I think you are worrying too much. These seeds may even turn out to produce mostly female plants. That's not a bad thing. People pay extra to get seeds that perform that well.

Don't to anything. Wait and see what happens, unless you stuck a fully developed male in front of the fan, the damage will be minimum, and dare I say, favorable to you in future grows. If you spent 50 bucks on the seed, and you're growing some store bought strain, it's an added bonus, so see it that way.

Ok don't panic.

Just finish the grow and send the seeded buds to me.

I will feed the seed to my bird and burn the budz slowly as punnishment

oh and the plants from those seeds - will be mostly female true, and they wiil be even more hermi prome that what you have now. I wouldn't bother growing them.

Plants that hermi naturally SUCK.

 

[GrassArt]

Damn,

Not exactly sure what I'm going to do yet. As of the moment, I have 3 other females in the flowerig room at the moment. 2 little 12/12 from seed that are at like 20 days and a clone that just showed pistils.

How do I know if they are pollen sacs or seeds?

I have no problem with combing some seeds out of dank bud, but I dont want to pollinate my entire garden!! What do you think I should do?

[Guest]

95% of the time, if there is a hermi in the grow, there will be seeds in the budz. (all of em)

It varies in degrees and severity, so it's hard to say what you need to do.

Personally I work from clones and now, none of my girls make nanners - even if I stress the hell out of them.

I did used to grow B-52 and the mom I kept was a late hermi changer, didn't stop me from growing it for years, but I'm glad she is gone



oh thats another thing - sometimes stress can make a plant hermi - sometime it's in the genetic code.

What do i do

What do i do

Expert advice would be greatly appreciated!!

SO what am I to do?

I have a hermy.

I can not have a pollination of my garden, my vegging cab is about 5 feet away and if any spores broke in the flowering cab my fans would suck em up and spew em out into the room where the vegging cab is.

Is it possible to have a hermy that just grows some seeds and no spores? So it will continue to just flower and finish and I’ll just have to pick some seeds out of my bud?

I can not find male flowers or spores anywhere on this entire plant. 2 of us checked it, for hours. Seems like all she has is a few budsites with seeds in it. …seeds but no spores??

I remember around the 2nd week of flowering, she got stressed by mites, and the pistils starting turning almost red/burnt color, and now they are back to being white. Right after that point, these stupid seeds starting showing up! I feel that maybe she got stressed and hermied a few seeds b/c of the mite damage??


DO I HAVE TO KILL THIS GIRL ??

-hope someone can shed some light on my choices

 

[MynameStitch]

Yes it is possible; they are called late nanners; which they are like male pollen sacks but do not open pollen but sometimes grows seeds in the sack it seems like. I had one plant did that I pulled some off and sometimes there were a seed or 2 in the balls I pulled off the plant...... ( ok that sounded bad) lol

If you do not want to habve her pollinate you are going to have to remove her to another room or chop her. get a closeup of a bad area and I can tell you if you need to chop her or not.

 

[GrassArt]

Sorry, bit confused. Why can't I just leave her in there, isnt it just possible they are only seeds ( i have opened up 2 or 3 of the things that are in picture 3 or 4 of my last post they are definitly 100% seeds) and not spores? I have not seen any spores, .chopping this plant this early would be lame.

How would it pollinate the others?

 

[smokeymacpot]

remove any visible male flowers and dont point a fan at it. and let it continue, its not far off so may as well make it decent

 

[Guest]

Male flowers + female flowers usually equal lil babies (AKA seeds)

you don't get seeds if pollen isn't available - if it is - and it's viril you get seeds.

you DO understand this much? In the flower world of cannabis - female plants can be genetically programed to grow male flowers - some are,some are not - your one plant seems to be.

The plants in the veg cabby are not in much risk - they are not flowering. If you have any clones of this plant,, count on that clone going hermi also

 

[GrassArt]

Haha, ya I do understand that male flowering produce pollen and pollinate female flowers producing seeds.

But, so now that it has 10-15 seeds, and no visible male flowers/pollen sacs/balls anywhere, can i just let her finish flowering, pluck out the seeds of my herb and continue on with a better strain?

I just don't really want to cut her down so far into flowering, so much waste .

Do some hermy plants just get seeds and not have the ability to pollinate other girls flowering?

Ok grass - first rule of growing - it's YOUR garden.

Frankly - a few seeds in my first few grows - wasn't that big of a deal. I wasn't buying budz and my budz were pretty damn good.


I have moved towards the conisure end these days and I also don't like my genitics getting out. It's worth my time to kill on sight and find a better clone mommie.

Christmas is comming - seeds could make wonderful presents. And it's always nice to tell peeps - "Hey, I grew some K B - it was really good, here's a couple beans I found"



ok maybe not good Christmas presents

My experience with hermis ----

About 90 % of the comercial Mexican/South American seeds are terribly hermi prone. I used to think they left the males too long, now I'm not so sure.

As said before - Hermi is a trait. Not all plants will exibit that trait; those that do, can range from throwing occasional non fertile "nanners" very late in flowering, to fertile nanners late , all the way thru to occasional male flowers throuought the flowering period.

The pollen can polinate the plant it came from - or another one.

I have never seen a totally male plant from hermi induced seeds. (On a side note - there is a pix here on IC of a male with female flowers plant - damm if I can find it)

I have never seen a straight female seed from a hermi - the offspring have always been hermi also

Sometimes plants will hermi because of stress - like the stress induced a last ditch effort to produce the next generation.

Hermis that are chemically induced are a whole different group - that leads to female seeds that stay female

 

[PHANTOM]

Personally I think I would let it go all the way (maybe taking off the male sites) and then grow out the seeds as well if it was great weed,

Alternatively I am looking at setting up a P.O. box, you could always send me the seeds and I will grow them for you!!!!!!!!

PEACE.

[GrassArt]

Haha, he wasn't begging! Phantom was only suggesting the most obvious and logical solution to having extra beans! But Phantom, I just happened to be in Canada and picked up 10 God Bud and 10 Sweet Pink Grapefruit (Dyanmite) seeds, now perhaps some F2 seeds of those beauties? hmm.. a trade me thinks!

Oh, and I have decided to leave the girl, hopefully she just produced a few seeds, no male flowers, and will not pollinate the whole garden (my god please).

[PHANTOM]

Yo its just a joke dude, I would never give out any address details of any kind and believe me I don`t need to be begging for nothing

Grassart I will be interested to see how it turns out for ya and keeping my fingers crossed it all goes well

Keep us updated

PEACE

Dude

You ve got seeded bud, thats all.

Its no problem. Dry your bud as normal and then jar it. This will allow the seeds time to mature and form their protective tiger skin casing. Once totally dry, put them in a a kitchen sieve and very slightly grind the buds, all the seeds will release leaving you with the remaining bud ( that will be a very nice smoke).

The amount of bud will be less, but youll end up with a load of free seeds ( 100s per plant ) and approx half the bud you normally harvest

Use the seeds and just grow a S**T load more than you usually do next time cos your not gonna have to pay for seeds for a while LOL

 

[GrassArt]

Yo, just wanted to know if any of you folks can see any "nanners" or pollen sacs. I went over her again today, never seen a nanner, no new seeds.

Nanners?
















Thanks for your help everyone!

Nanners?

Get a lil closer fool do you think we are psycic


do a search there are millions of pix of them on here

 

[Levitikuz]

OMG GRASS!!!
YOU HAVE ONE OF THE NEW GENETIC HERMIES!!

THEY PRODUCE POLLEN RIGHT OUT OF THE FEMALE FLOWER ITSELF..!!!!

Hopefully those new genetics dont reach me anytime soon....and most people believe the government made these to surpress growers...it will spread like wild fire just like any disease and the plan is to make all of are grows useless and turn all the genetics around the world....so essentially every MJ plant would be a herm and basically useless for the weed part of MJ...and thats there new plan to erradicate MJ once and for all...

oh god im going to keep my garden so concealed....that scares the shit outa me =[
