Hermie!!?! Can I do this?

[cheshirez]

Hey,
I have my sexy little (female????) plant and just noticed little testicles at a node. So can I just use a razor and slice those little bitches off there?
I'm gonna do it no matter what, but please let me know what you guys think.

 

[nanskies]

you can cut them off but they will grow back keep cutin til harvest

 

[NOWitall]

well you must be VERY dilegent

and VERY thorough.

you will need to check the entire plant every day
and pry open little bud clusters to make sure theres none hiding

How far into flower are you if its early stages its really pointless to clip its ball as it most probably a hemri geneticly instead of due to stress, but if its late in flower just clip them and let it finish!

 

[mlmmintz]

Keep the ballz if you want a next generation of seeds so you dont have to buy anymore

 

[stonedoutcam]

dude i always told people to try this let me kn how it goes post some pics to

but if its a genetic hermie, all the seeds would be hermed, and no mater what the genetics thats a bad thing.

i had a hermie plant and cut pff only 3 balls and then none grew back and the bud was seedless and wonderfull

 

[cheshirez]

Haha!
Yeah I will let you know guys. Keep an eye on it, I'll slice off the balls tomorrow. The plant is...

I am very early into flower. Hopefully none grow back

I am in the process of doing such a thing. There will be more... You gotta be superrr thorough, like spend a good hour or so everydayish going over the entiree plant. I'm only doing it because i got a speedy plant but its not cool.

how do u think feminized seeds are made, with hermies and only hermies that way its always female and if male parts pop out u automaticaly think its somthing u did, all feminized seeds are hermie wether u like to admit it or not

 

[cheshirez]

Well, in case anyone was wondering... it worked. I only had to cut balls off once and the plant remained a female for the duration of the grow.

Haha! Where were you all this time? I used to get hermie probs here and there with feminized seeds until I stopped doing organics. I run aero and dwc. The same may not hold true for soil users. I have a hunch that organics work out quite alright for them.
