HERMIE Plants

[flhokies]

So what is the deal with a hermie plant, will all off the buds have seeds or just some off them, can you pick the balls early to help stop the seeds from growing?

chances are they'll all have seeds. nothing you can do but grow em out and smoke decent bud that isn't sensimilla.

not true at all. had several gals that spit out some balls during 2-3 week of flower. they showed up at the nodes where female flowers should be. pluck em and keep ur eye out. now, if you have male flowers on top of the buds with the female flowers, than that is another story and yes they will seed.
which one u got?
also, am trying out Dutch Master Reverse soon

its a painful process trying to cut off all the nuts before they pollinate the buds... I tried it on my last go-around. The end result wasn't worth the trouble because the plant uses too much energy in developing seeds... the buds are pitiful. As flowering matures some pollen sacks can fully develop and release in less than 24 hours. Unless you need a bunch of seeds or this is your only plant than kill it.

well first of all male plants dont have seeds or buds growing off it
it has sacks of polin and if u try to pick those polin sacks off ull get alot more gorwing back on it u cant get seeds unless u have a male and female plant the male plant has the palin sacks when the sacks open is gows onto the female plant and then it starts to produce seeds

 

[smokeybandit22]

again, not true if these sacs appear during the early stages of flowering. havent had one reappear yet. if it is a full blown hermie, where you have male and female flowers on the same bract than diff story.

 

[clowdy]

well if u have a hermie thats a diff story u could get both and u could get seeds too

YOU WAS JUST LUCKY MATE I WOULD SAY FROM NEARLY 30YRS AT THIS GAME NEARLY ALWAYS HAVE SEEDS BUT STILL SMOKE THE WEED JUST A BALL ACHE OR IF YR A LADY A PAIN GETTING SEEDS OUT BUT THE GOOD THING IS YOU WILL HAVE SEEDS FOR NEXT GROW.

 

[smokeybandit22]

luck doesnt factor in for me. if you are dillegent about plucking them and cut off any fans blowing around the middle of the plant, u can still produce a fine plant without many seeds.
usually only find 2-3 seeds from these plants. if it is a true hermie, and not simlply intersexed, than the whole lot of her will be seeded.
