After not checking on this bitch for a while because its in the back of the closet

on day 32 what do I find but open flowers at almost every node on this fucker!!! Dammit!!!

I tried to pick off as many as I could but every time I touched one pollen dropped everywhere. I'm pretty much fucked, aren't I?

How can i tell which buds are pollinated and which aren't? Will the pistils shrivel up?

I knew I should never have wasted my time with bagseed!!!

damn, thats a shame. They look nice too. i would just harvest it anyway. i mean it will have seeds but who cares, still will be nice smoke.

Next time that happens, spray them lightly with water,before you remove them, allthough if they were all open it was allready pollenated. It takes 3 or 4 weeks for seeds to mature so if its an Indica strain, you can harvest the plant a little early. In 2 weeks they will almost be day 50 and I have had the same thing happen and I picked when the seeds started to form.....

Yeah i'm definitely going to go ahead and give it a normal harvest time, i'll just have to deal with the seeds. Actually it's a really nice short bushy pheno so if i could just breed out the hermie tendency...i guess i'd have to take it to f4 to be sure? sigh. BTW this is my first time to have a hermie, now reading other people's hermie posts will hit home alot harder.

sorry to mope, but i am kinda depressed about it after all the effort.

The hairs on the buds will start turning red and dying, and that usually means seeds, I think alot of us have been hit before. I have 1 AI that had like 7 mature seeds, no little ones or anything, just 7.

Well it's been two days since the discovery and removal of all the flowers i could see. I checked all three plants out today and i found about 10 swollen calyxes with red hairs. I can only assume that these were pollinated by jostling around the flowers and releasing pollen into the air. I am encouraged, however, because in spite of all the pollen, I'm only seeing a few seeds among probably thousands of individual calyxes?

I'm guessing that there won't be any further pollination, well, hoping, anyway. Another thing thats weird is that the pollinated buds were on the other plants, but i couldn't find a single swollen calyx or red hair on the actual hermie plant. Is it possible that a hermie can't pollinate itself? Or am I just in for a very unpleasant surprise in the next few days?

It could be possible if the air currents were running in the right direction....
That being the case and they are all different plants you could have a start of a nice cross there....
Plant to plant hermie pollination can produce quite viable seeds, however selfing where the plant pollinates itself is not normally good, and will lead to hermie tendencies.
Callyxes swell and the hairs turn brown when they mature as well... So it could just be that they aren't even pollinated just maturing.....
