Please don't tell me I have to throw her away!

[dropcroptop]

So I am 100% sure I have at least one hermaphrodite. I'm in my 2nd week of flower,and my question is if I have to throw it away? Or can I meticulously pluck the new seed growth every time it appears? Or just pull the plant so it doesn't infect the other plants. Say it ain't so!!

Is the plant loaded with male sacs? If the answer is no and your only seeing a couple pop up then just pluck them off. Someone on here shared a good idea of spraying the sac before removing it so the pollen doesn't spread.

Like spray the sack with water? Before I cut it away. And the plant is not loaded with them. Max one seed per bud growth at the node or whatever.

I tried picking the male sac's an bananas off only to have them grow else where's so I chopped them down. My last plant in that grow showed bananas 3 weeks before I was Gona harvest to I let it finish with no issues. Bud was smooth an potent so didn't effect anything. If ur close to finish I'd leave it if just starting flowering I'd chop it imo. If u don't mind seedy weed u could let it continue as well but personally I don't like seedy weed

Yes, just a light spray. It's actually more common than talked about to see a few male sacs pop up. I've noticed it's usually towards the lower bud sites that are not getting the same lighting as the top.

My first grow journal on here that happened to me heading towards the end of the grow. I panicked when I noticed them, went online and read all kinds of false information on bananas. So I chopped my plants down a couple weeks early.
Knowing what I do now, I would of finished them out. I don't believe his are bananas, they look alike for sure but to me I'm seeing a male sac that is starting to open. I could be wrong though.

It's definitely a few not the entire plant. And the picture I posted was from a book haha not of my plant. I will try my best to get a good quality picture.

Ok, sounds good.

These are better pictures. It's so soon into flower a part of me wants to go ahead and pull it. These are supposed to be feminized seeds! Do you think I can maintain it or not worth contaminating the rest. I know I could spend 10 minutes a day grooming it for seeds. What do the pros think?

Well, I'm no pro lol but if there's one thing I've learnt it's to trust your gut feelings. If you have other plants flowering and losing this one doesn't change much for you then pull it.
It doesn't seem to have a pile of sacs in one spot so removing them now and waiting to see if any more pop up is the other options. It wouldn't be to difficult at this point.
How many plants do you have in flower?

 

[wiley420]

If was me I'd pull it, but in my experience if u snip them off they come back. Maybe someone else has had better luck with snipping

 

[dropcroptop]

I have 6 plants in flower. 6 in veg. The herme is unfortunately the second largest! At what point does the seed produce pollen?

[Lilolme]

Dammit dammit dammit

 

[Lilolme]

Gonna keep it around just to look at till I get some more goin,I wasn't prepared only had one seed.

 

[MsSinful]

Yours looks 100% male. I would keep it if you could, save the pollen and use it to make your own seeds.

I'm not sure of a time frame.
