What to do with my hermie? (and its neighbors)

[rufusstarzinger]

My Bruce Banner Auto decided to go "bananas" and I need help with what to do with my girls (I have three others)

I've removed all male flowers (no one was open but I did see pollen fall when handling the plant) and cut some small branches but what do you suggest I do with the rest of plant? It's been LST'd and I have some nice colas fattening up

What would YOU do? Harvest the hermie early (few trichs) or harvest all the others early? or?

Any tips from experienced growers are welcome <3

you can just pluck those probably miss some and get a few seeds. My main strain will grow male flowers when stressed but nanners and some seeds always but I farm for rosin.

Dont matter since its resin unless it directs a rediculous amount of energy losing significant resin.

Not very good for smoking flower Id look for something that dont do this. Is this outdoor or indoor? If outdoor not as big a deal.

If it gets really bad it may be best to start over those are the types of herms people toss.

thanks! I'm cutting it today cuz I just confirmed some seeds and from what I've heard I shouldn't grow them again unless I wanna risk hermies... Gonna focus on my sticky girls

I'll decarb this baby and try to make som cannabutter

Outdoor

Woah hold on now, I said if it gets worse and worse lol. I read from very seasoned growers that say finish to the end regardless. Outdoor isnt going to be too bad I dont do outdoor but the pollen has space to spread.

Indoors its just sitting in the same air recirculating so seeds are easier to make. Just my two cents. Its not a big deal to pick seeds out of smoke or get one in the bowl smoked.

The potency will lack so will flavor if you pull too soon. Just looked at pics again, pretty far into it but not so far that yield will be very low too.

If it gets out of controll thats another thing but if its mostly flower it can still grow flower. The sites you showed if thats all there is you can still grow it.

Im talking if its more balls than flower like a really really bad hermy. I would see what more experienced growers say, Ive grown only couple years.

 

[medidedicated]

This plant believe it or not grows balls and nanners seeds lol. This subject is kind of advanced IMO theres no straight answer to why they do it its just genetic to do it but all weed is capable lf it.

I only tossed a plant with balls once because it was a male fem seed in veg with nothing but balls. Or no, I flipped it and it had nothing but balls, correction.

 

[rufusstarzinger]

ha ha ok MR. I will hold on and hope for more expertise advice here. Thanks for your time, I'm getting a loupe today to inspect my two mature ladies but I'm a little worried about my third one which is a couple of weeks behind the others and I really don't want her to start making seeds - I've read pollen can travel 20 miles haha...

Maybe an option is to move this Bruce/Caitlyn Banner to the garden (and not my roof) and keep her going

 

[medidedicated]

Right which is 20 mi away from the plant. Sucks for anyone growing outdoor in the radius but a lot of strains do it. Its just some strains were aggresively bred to not do this so you can have sensimilla.

That said I had a plant next to the hemie that did not develop seeds but I did chop early. I wouldnt chop every plant that does it once or twice as lots of strains today will do this.

Id learn how to clone and mother plants and run clones of something that doesnt do this if its a concern. It can take like a year easily to find one.

I got possibly lucky first try last year with a sensimilla strain but for sure a resin strain. Might of gotten more lucky this year, because I did some networking.

Networking/homework will probably find you something asap. How long you been growing?

 

[rufusstarzinger]

I'm pretty sure the reason my Bruce Banner herm:d was due to me leaving her too close with the two others for a week of substantial rains and explosion in growth. My babysitting friend didn't move them and I'd placed them with max sun on the roof, albeit too close and this baby got some mildew on her - I got rid of it and kept her away from the others but her leaves were drooping (my guess is wind burn because she was less sturdy than the others).

I'm learning a lot, it's my first grow man

 

[medidedicated]

I was about to say it can help indicate somethings too stressful or going down hill. Ive bought weed during prohibition that was LOADED with seeds, I mean loaded! Every now and then it happens.

My last few grows of same strain had some seeds but wasnt bad. Easy to pick out but still good for resin and edibles. I press it to flower rosin.

My speculation as a newer grower they try to release strains too early year after year to compete and just arent getting rid of these traits.

People may start over due to plant health if its bad enough or toss a herm but they usually already have race horse like genetics and dont need some herm.

 

[rufusstarzinger]

I'm glad I learned the hard way and now that we're talking I'm def excited to let her grow and try vapin' and smoking.

Pressing sounds interesting.

 

[medidedicated]

Its a lovely thing. They say not to press seeded weed but Ive found it to be fine. Great way to dispose of seeded weed and create a product the average person cant handle much of. I dab full time.

woah! PRO

I’d be prone to removing the herming plant dependent on how far along the other plants are. You don’t won’t the other plants to get pollinated - at least that would be my concern

You might aswell just finish it now. Just keep plucking off the male parts and hope your buds dont turn out full of seeds
Mind if i ask were you got that bruce banner auto from please. It dosent look like they used the proper bruce banner to make the auto, but i guess it would also depend on what auto they have used.
Good luck.

I'm tempted to move her to the other side of the house in the garden and let some more trichomes develop but yeah, she's hanging loose Bruce Banner Auto from Seedstockers, via herbiesheadshop

yes my concern too. I have one plant that needs at least a couple of more weeks of development but here's a thought:

Will a hermie keep producing "bananas" after it has self-pollenated? I already see seeds so in this case I should be safe If I monitor and remove any male growth?

 

[medidedicated]

Yea, it will continue to self pollinate if it wants to. What I didnt realize is each calyx is its own organ in the sense that that pistol has to catch a pollen cell. So long as it peoduces pollen and new white hairs, its open to producing seeds.

As far as I know its a trait of stress unless genetic hermy meaning male flowers can be found too. So it can also keep throwing more white hairs instead of finishing which is a reproductive effort due to stress.

Its a whole thing to it Im still learning. I guess my plant is a he and a she.

My one other plant seems ready to go right? My GF noticed some shades of amber but I'm color blind lol. I'll flush and chop in a few days whatcha think?
