So looking in my tent last night and saw what I can only think is a Hermie.
Hopefully I’m just seeing shit but, if I’m correct and this is a herm my next issue is this bitch is laid into a scrog with one other plant that is not showing any signs. Should I cut her loose if she is a herm? Or leave it and seed it? Hopefully the collective wisdom of Percy’s has some answers thanks
Hey dude, that is looking like a bollock to me, I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure. Hopefully another chimes in.
That’s a hermie. Your path forward needs a decision now though. You can remove the sacs and hope they won’t come back. It’s not uncommon for that approach to work but if it doesn’t and she throws more sacs later she can seed all your buds. How’s your supply and how bad do you need this girl?
I got sacs on about five maybe six branches. I was thinking of spraying em with some water and hack the herm branches off completely I could save the plant, but like ya said might come back. Do you think this would work?
With that many bad sites it most probably has some genes that not exactly right and the chances of it coming back are higher. You can cut the bad stuff away and be extremely diligent for a reoccurrence but it’s risky and you’ll always have that chance of needing to cull her later. It’s not my grow but I’d show her the door and let the others have the space.
If it was just one that you found id say pinch it off carefully and roll with it. I had one on a plant a few weeks ago at 3 weeks of flower and nothing since, its hard though with a scrog for sure. The fact that you see on 5 different branches is def a concern...
If it's something you can't live without and it just has to be, then I would consider finding a branch that doesn't have any sacks on it and clone that branch and scrap the rest of the plant, but no guarantees there either. Depends on how bad it wants to be male and how bad you want this strain. I'd scrap it, too many good seeds out there.
Double check you don't have any light leak too. I had the same problem on my last grow. Realised it was a light leak, fixed it, pulled off all the balls I found and carried on. Stopped popping balls and flowered fine. Mine was a leak through a small opening in the mesh vent. Which was against a wall at the back of a walk in wardrobe, with the door only slightly opened. Didn't take much.
If I suspected it was from a stress that I could correct I MAY consider hacking male expressing branches and flowering the rest of the plant. If i was not growing for seed.
If the tent was pretty stable, health had been good, and stress has been low then I would consider that plant a waste of time. Meaning under good, low stress conditions, I would expect a plant that shows male&female parts to continue to do so. I would choose to cut and move on.
You’re a Jedi cannabis intuitions are powerful young BackBlast . Lol
yeah looks like a scrot forming, i culled a couple herms this run i didnt wanna run the risk 😀 they were only small plants anyways
So just an update on this I decided to chop her/he out the scrog once I got her out and I could get a good look at it over half the plant was starting to develop balls like @Monkeydo said probably a problem with the genetics. Basically the center portion of the plant was going to be the only viable female part. Everything that I’m pealing back in the photos has signs of herms
I’m gana give the other plant in the tent a good look over tomorrow make sure there’s no sacs on her now that I got more room to get a good look.
as always thanks for the collective help Percy’s
