Hermie at 8 weeks in, what to do?

[canabinerd]

Well, I thought I something yesterday, but today I'm sure of it........frickin' nanners!

So it's just the one freak plant. I knew I didn't like that plant. And I'm 8 weeks into flower as of tomorrow. The trichomes are only about 15-20% cloudy from what I can tell.

So what do I do, just try to pick off the nanners and limp her along for another week. Or just put her in a dark closet for a couple days and chop her. If she pollinates the others, I know I'm not gonna have to worry about seed at this point, but it could make a difference in yield. I'm kinda leaning on just choppin' and being done with it. Then, I can let the other two go without worrying about it.

Any input welcome, thanks guys.

that really sucks... i would drop it now less the chance of him raping the babys ... but side not this is sweet thank you ive been looking to see what these look like and bam you got great picks of it..

How much longer is it supposed to go?

 

[canabinerd]

Seedsman says 7-9 weeks, but I've been using CFL's and supplenting with natural sunlight. I figure I have a week or two left until I start to see amber, but this is my first go round, so I'm just kinda winging it and making a scientific wild ass guess based on what I'm seeing in other's journals.

 

[JJ Bones]

I would just wait then, if you want amber trichs.

 

[canabinerd]

I don't necessarily want amber trichs, I just figure that if I wait to harvest until I see a few amber trichs I can be assured that I'm not chopping too early.

Can someone draw an arrow to point to the balls? I dont see any and would like to so i know what you may need to possibly watch out for. All I see is buds.

 

[canabinerd]

So there's two ways that a plant can hermie that look distinctly different. They can put out a regular male type pollen sack at the stem/stipule area or they can pot nanners out of the buds. I think that it depends on how far along they are into flower on which one they will do, but I could be wrong. But from what I've seen, If they hermie early on, like when the bud sites are nothing but white hairs, they will generally form the pollen sacks. But if it's late when you have large calyxes, they tend to nanner

isee something like that on a vegging plant, i thought it was just a leaf forming.

 

[canabinerd]

If it's on a vegging plant, it's probably not a nanner. If it's in veg and it's male or hermie, it will most likely put the little balls out at the base of a stem.

Here's another guys plant (Audiobasix) who just hermied on him that hermied earlier and has the classic pollen sac

oh no i know what balls look like its not that.

I have 5 plants all started at same time. 3 of them sexed like 10 days ago by now. All female. 2 are still unsexed, however they are clearly a different strain then the 3 females (unsexed 2 are a bit shorter and more indica leafed) So i have just putting it off to genetics on why they are not showing sex yet.

its the back left 5 big ones i am talking about. The back middle, back left and front left are all females. the other two smaller ones still wont show sex :/.

Can't see from that picture bro

 

[Jimmycricket]

plant 1

plant 2

 

[canabinerd]

Looks like very early preflowers to me, probably female but too early to tell for sure

 

[Jimmycricket]

Well as long as they arnt males yet I am happy. If i went 5 for 5 on my biggest plants then i would be stoked .

 

[canabinerd]

Good luck man, may you be spared from the hermie scourge.

I did find one rinky dinky flat premi white seed last year, i think it was in my skywalker OG.

Probably happened cause they were not getting enough light and it was cold.

But it was only 1 .
