Hey guys, new here howdy ho
So I vegged 4 strains (Sensi's Northern Lights #5 x Haze & Jack Flash #5, Dutch Passion Mazar and ACE China Yunnan), all feminized, for 30 days on 18/6, and then flipped to 12/12. Did some FIM on all of them a week before switching. 2 weeks later the plants were entering flowering smoothly, with female calyxes and pistils showing all over, when I noticed one pollen sack on one of the Mazars. I chopped it off immediately, thought it was bad genetics or something. 2 days later I found one again on the China Yunnan and then I realized that something went wrong. I removed only the male sack. Yesterday (Day 48 total) I found one on the Jack Flash which I also removed. Nothing on the Northern Lights x Haze yet.
Now something obviously went wrong. I had a power shortage for a few hours in the beginning but it didn't interrupt the schedule very much. Maybe there was a light leak? Some light escaped from some tiny holes from the closet on some parts but it was due to the intense 600W HPS. I entered inside during daytime and it was totally dark. Anyway I lightproof-ed it again. Soil, temps etc are optimal.
What I wanted to ask is that there doesn't seem to be intense hermaphroditism so what's the deal? The female to male calyxes ratio is at the time 99/1. Has anyone encountered that before? I can't afford to start the grow again so I'm gonna go with it. Will they turn out full hermie at some point or maybe some few male sacks here and there?
Here are some pics
