Feminized Seed Gone Hermie?

[Los Ganjales]

I have a feminized Church seed that has been looking great. Except about 3 weeks into flowering I'm seeing what I would determine as seed balls. However a leaf set above the area of balls, are white pistils that looks like a hopeful site for some nice buds. Check out the pics below. What do you think? And what should I do because I can not let the pollen sacks open up and ruin my flower room? I've never had to deal with a plant that shows hermie so early (if that's what this is?), and I'm not sure what to do with it.

(directed toward the potential seeds, not you )

Well since Feminized seeds are made by intersexing a plant(stressing a female flower or spraying hormones in buds to cause growth of male flowers) And because of this the plants still have this intersexual trait! It sux i know. Only when a feminized strain is really breed to its fullest that it gains the anti intersexual genes from its family! Since this takes up to 4 years. companies like gh were your church comes from, or BBB just pop out fem seeds after another, without being stable, so there comes your hermie, yours is just showing strong traits, i would just cut then off without leaving a stump or break them off with your fingers but by pinching with your nails so the wound gets closed a little bit and pests or plagues have less a chance to the moisture. Hopefully it only stays at certain branches! Its better to remove then to have a crop of seed, but watch it and see how the flowers move on the plant before you make your choices of cutting or whatever. However i am not saying that the seeds you guys purchase are not of quality, they are. Its just the herm traits can be less or greater just depending!

Just pinch em off

Thanks for the advice!

I'll definitely have to monitor it closely, and will be taking a scalpel to the seed-pod areas. I never knew Green House had that type of reputation. I guess clones are truely the best way to go about getting a new strain. All of my clones look great!

if its has a femenized trait would its hermie rate of the seeds be the same as when a regular girl hermies and u sow those seed or would you be able to use those seeds...........

 

[Los Ganjales]

So I took all of the balls off no problem... probably stressed the plant a little but whatever... it likes it .

Do I need to worry about pollen of any sort? I'm trying for a room full of sensimilla... seeds aren't welcome!

 

[jcdws602]

You will have to keep a close eye on everything constantly because most times they will grow back,just keep on taking them off if you dont want to get seeds.

 

[Los Ganjales]

Okay but do I need to worry about any pollen, or anything that'll turn surrounding flowering females to go hermie?

Not from the pics you posted, though terribly clear... they aren't near release yet. However, I doubt you will be able see/find/pick all the banana dicks from the plant as it continues to bud... they are stealthy. Would use fine-tipped tweezers instead with a cup of water... dip it in there each & every time you remove the dicks. Try to get at the dick deep down in the sack as if it rips, it'l jiz all over the place. How's that for imagery! Best brah!

Pollen cant turn other plants hermie,only stress and genetics can do that.Some plants hermie from the beginning some towards the end.

If thats true, then if you have 99 plants in a room and one of them turns hermie, are you saying its nothing to worry about (no need to remove from room) and it wont affect the other 98 plants??

info please?

Los Ganjales was worried about his other plants turning hermie,of course if you have a hermie you want to remove pollen sacs everyday or whenever they grow back so your other plants don't get pollinated and produce seeds,but in a case you would have 99 plants growing, not literally but a decent amount of plants I would just remove it completely.

The reason why I'm making it so confusing is because my "Church" plant is really healthy, looking really good, but because its an unstable feminized strain the plant turned hermie on me in flowering. I've been taking every seed pod off by hand when I see them, and my original question was if hermie plants produce pollen sacks as well, which could potentially ruin my whole flowering room. So far I've only seed seed pods and nothing at all having to do with pollen. Am I suppose to be expecting some pollen sacks forming? AKA get the plant to China?

I'm doing a Sea of Green, so I have stuff on a perpetual cycle and finishing at all different times... and if I leave a hermie in there that's pollenating then I'm going to be shit out of luck for a long time, and I'd ruin all of my high-grade plants that I've worked so hard and long on.

Does anyone know if a hermie plant, being hermie from the strain being feminized (like what I have), is a real threat to my 100% raging females? Or am I just going to have some seeds in my bud? If my questions were answered already then my apologies; however could someone make this more clear to me? Pollen, or no?

To be or not to be, that is the question

just thought id mention light leaks. which probably cause more plants go hermi than anything else. so be sure you dont have any light leaks.

I've been wondering the same thing. I THINK I see a hermie in there w/ some balls and hairs and it needs to be dealt with swiftly and harshly if it will cause a problem. I wish you luck with your hermie, hopefully it will not come out and jizz all over your plants and produce balls in your buds. Much luck, and happy buds w/ no seeds.

 

[jcdws602]

The only problem you will have is seeds,my advice to you is if you have plenty of plants growing I would sacrifice it,being that it is a pain in the ass to be chopping pods everyday and chancing having seeds when you can have some killer sensimilla.Don't clone off that plant either, because the clones will have the exact genetic make up as it's mother.

If let to pollinate your other plants, your other plants will be come infested with seeds (depending on how much pollen) and it will not grow the"big buds" everyone wants. After a plant has been pollinated it focuses on seed production not defense systems (Trichromes). Basically your plant will stop producing more calyx's, which is bud.

You can let your plant grow out and take what it has as long as you keep up the pollen sack removal. Make sure you get all of them if your trying to get some fine sensimilla.

That church is pretty good, I had it for awhile. But there are way better strains out there so don't be sad if you can't keep it.

 

[Los Ganjales]

You guys need to see pictures of this thing to believe it. I'm about to take some, one sec.

There's no pollen sacks, that's what I'm trying to say. This isn't a hermie from a male plant's pollen, this is a female turned hermie's genetics. It's just seedy bud. Does anyone have first-hand experience with feminized strains gone hermie, having any pollen, or rather not having any pollen?

Pics coming soon...

 

[Smokey95033]

I know exactly what you mean. I got the idea the first time you said it. I didn't know there wasn't much for pollen though. If your not worried about a few seeds then let it go. But you were saying you didn't want to have your "high-grade plants that I've worked so hard and long on" to be degraded. Well, anything with a seed isn't sensimilla. As that is what sensimilla means, to grow without seed.

So, yes I do have experience growing hermy plants. The bud usually tastes like crap cause the genetics are so fucked. You get seeds all in your shit, cause there are pollen sacks hiding inside big nugs. It's nothing you want to clone to try to keep. Grow it out, smoke it/sell it/rub it all over your feet I dont care.

okay so to sum it up...
a single hermie plant could potentially spread its pollen to nearby female plants and turn them into hermies as well...

correct ?
