***hermies*** : Everything you need to know! Faqs

The guy is right there is no way for us to look at one close up photo and tell you why it has happened obviously you are inexperienced and the conditions in your room are far from optimal and therefore you have caused stress, heat, light, nutrients, poor genetics, poor room hygiene or many other fa toes could have caused this more info on the setup and perhaps cos would help but if I'm honest sounds like you a mean and you got learn the hard way like all haha
No shit I got to learn that Why immature experience

My last grow hit close to a pound and i had nanners on it someplace. Seeds galore. Seeds I can not use because they came from female seeds and the possibility of herms from those plants is very high. It was a real pisser except I learned a lot. And learning is always worth the price of admission.

When you smoke them in a doob they taste like shit. Vape makes it not noticeable.

I got a magical butter machine and my problems are solved because I eat more than i smoke now. And the MGB2 doesnt care if there are seeds. This batch I have no nanners i look for them now.

What I learned was not to stress my plants. I used to peak mid dark and stuff and now I do not.
 
Also if you have any seed in your crop she is not gorgeous they will be hermie seeds from a hermie trait plant and most likely you will have more hermies like the one you experience, seedless bud "sensimilla" is the only crop you want if you are getting seed in your females cut them off and start again from the bottom correcting all stress and mistakes and try to ensure (outdoor) than they are not being cross pollinated? Other than that your alone bro

Tent will not help. It is stress and strain Dependant and more prevalent in female only seeds due to the stress from the process. But....more common is not all the time. I run only female seeds and it happened once. 4 plant limit means you can not pop 6 regular beans and hope. You need to know.
 
OK this is what happened it was a male plant so I took it out of the 12/12 room and took it back to veg and with the same female to witch they didn't hermie they stay female witch I took them back two flower and they still did not herm. the male after it 2week in veg just started shooting pistil so I flipped back to flower and I wanted to work with it witch heard lot of Romer it good n it bad from bigg grower in Cali

Hey guys I’ve had a plant for over a year and it’s been through hell and back, I was in between moving and what not so basically held onto it and kept it alive because I loved the genetics. I’m 2.5 weeks into flower and have been very paranoid that the stress is causing her to Hermie. Half of me feels like it’s good but I worry because I just got some fresh babies going and do not want them to get seeds if this does turn out to Hermie. Can you let me know what you think from these pics if it’s Hermie or if she just has some fat pistils. Thanks!

i have been growing seeds from hermies all the time and it produces great smoke. now would i sell it? hell no that is how you meet someones foot in the ole ass. if you grow for yourself and plant random seeds for shits and gigbles than figure out what you did wrong and fix it for your next cycle.

Thanks for the response, you think she has in fact Hermies then? A few seeds wouldn’t bother me it’s just for my head, what would is her giving my other lovely ladies seeds or infecting my tent with pollen. Could it be possible she’s just really horny and swollen because she’s trying to get pollinated?

stay on picking off the balls that are forming and just mist it and the others with water every morning when your light flips on other than that look for what the problem may be

Your totatally right, I was just getting worried because they were more swollen in two weeks than I’ve ever seen. Thanks for your response you helped put my worries to rest

This thread still active? Wanted to get everyone's opinion. Week 4 of flower for this berry Ryder, was supposedly an auto but did now show pre flowers for 50 days so it was flipped to 12/12 and has since flowered. Just wanted to get an opinion, Ive had issues with Hermie's before but I changed flower rooms in hopes to combat any prior issues.

The pistils look very large to me- I dont know if I'm just super paranoid, but I've also noticed a few of the buds do in fact have pistils that are orange on some of the buds. I don't know if this is from pollination or the life cycle itself.

I've read that strong fans can cause pistils to turn orange early, or a fan leaf in constant contact with the bud can also turn the hairs orange. I have also read that its all part of the cycle and some hairs turn orange mid flower to sprout more fresh pistils.

I'm.still kind of a newbie and would appreciate some of you vets chiming in with whatever you may know through experience or just general knowledge. Thanks all.
