Definitely no light leaks in your grow area right? Easy to miss one pollen sack, which contains tons of pollen.. But you guys are probably right, chances are its getting pollenated froma neighbor. Do you know if anyone grows industrial hemp near you?
The neighbors house directly over the fence usually has an inside light on for a bit after sundown. Our deck light is on briefly at night when we let the dogs out. But considering that the furthest plant along in flower barely has any flower formation whatsoever id think that they arent hermies. I could be wrong, and I want to be because that would be a solution actually in my reach to fix. Im pretty familiar in and out with the plants, Ive seen these tiny "scentless plant bugs" that chill literally in between the very new growth of each top that ive been checking for/removing so im definitely paying close attention. Ill take more time to look for nanners though.
Yeah exactly. No ones to blame here, but its really discouraging dealing with it on top of everything else we outdoor growers go through. Theres a lot more uncertainty about how successful this harvest will be now. Im staying optimistic, live and learn!
Hmm very well could be.
Very true, and unfortunate..
Hmm very well could be.
Just suggested it because i had to kill off a plant last week that I had going since Feb. not sure exactly what caused the herm but there definitely were light leaks, and a few days before a friend had pulled onto my lawn and had head lights on while trying to back out and do something to his tire so the lights were on them for about 10-15 min during their dark., Also, porch lights within 200 ft and a street light (hps) within 500 ft. but theres also the fact that it was indoor since feb and light cycle had to be switched when transplanting outdoors, as well as it being a bag seed... Theres a million reasons itcould've been herm.,.. But I spray everything top and bottom with B.t. every week, Im out there at least 2-3 hours a day, I check and LST everything... and they still snuck up on me... Luckily nothing opened, But I mean, out of nowhere I saw a whole branch with tons of male preflowers starting, after it had been growing female preflowers for months... I had confirmed female so long ago I sort of let my guard down. Could be a blessing in disguise because Im growing 4 gorilla glue fems and GG is known to herm, So its sort of given me a refreshed outlook/vigilance to be on the look out just as everything is starting to flower.
I hope for your sake it is a herm as well, Maybe strike up a convo with the neighbors and see if they happen to bring it up (wouldnt even mention yours at all..) Good luck my friend. Cheers
Unfortunate is right... They become like children at a certain point, you literally raise them from babies and look after them 24/7... But definitely do what we got to... Sometimes you just gotta bite the bullet and cut your arm off to save your whole body like that rock climber dude they made a movie about (127 hours or something like that.)....
Pretty much my situation last year (without having confirmation that someone else is growing close by in the neighborhood), had me thinking I was going crazy!
Haha sometimes it really feels like that.
Yes, I covered them with a tarp about two weeks ago during a storm. I think that started flowering. I'm going to do that next year too and maybe toward the end of this summer. Most are filling out bud sites I hope they don't get too tall structure is only 10'.
