So I have 4 plants and I think one turned hermie over the last two days. If it is hermie will these be feminized seeds or are my other plants currently in flower going to be at risk

I would say genetic hermie. Unless u stressed the plant early in flowering.
Here's one that hermied 2 weeks into flower only on a few top bud sites. I snipped and sprayed with water to start pollen from spreading. Going to harvest, some say it's natural for a plant to do this late in flowering. image.jpeg

This plant struggled through much of its life. There were many ups and downs right from the sprout

All I know is I am damn grateful I saw it before those sacs filled with pollen and spread to my other girls. I have one female in there just days away from harvest.

Well, it doesn't look like it has bad genetics. You could save the pollen if you decide you want to breed down the road. Just a thought.

On a side note, be super careful not to shake it around too much when taking it out. Put a garbage bag around it if you can. Sometimes a sac will bust from moving it around.

I already removed him and chopped him up! Luckily he was at the front of my tent and not the back. I wouldn't want to save his pollen only because he struggled so badly. I will keep that in mind though for any future plants but I am hoping to turn one of my gals into a hermie at the very end of her harvest so I can pollinate a couple female buds and get feminized seeds

Colloidal silver works very well. You have to use it at the beginning of flower though, on the calyxes. You just can't smoke the bud you put the pollen on.

I'm hoping to hermie a couple buds left on the plant after harvest just by messing with the plants light cycle and temperature but still keeping it alive

I meant it to come out as up until today I had no indication it was a male. There were none of those large ball forms that wouldn't indicate it was a male. Until the pollen sacs today I thought it was a female. I did not see it yesterday however the day before I watered them and there were no pollen sacs noticeable

Seeds take about six weeks to mature so you can't pollinate a plant at the end of harvest to get seeds

If u just have one lady days away from harvest it wouldn't affect anything, i don't want u to misunderstand this but u need to do some reading..

Yes I do have 1 plant days away from harvest and I do know that it takes more than a couple days for pollen to affect anything. I do however have 2 other female plants that are just starting to flower which is what my concern was over
