For sure hermie, or fighting chance?

A little over 2 weeks into flowering and these showed up... They're just on two budsites on the main stem. One plant is too small so its being overshadowed and is a lost cause (unless this hermie gets yanked out) and the other to look absolutely amazing. Just curious, has anyone kept a hermie and just went through it everyday and removed the pollen sacs? I know its high risk with zero margin for error but I don't see why its not possible. The last two pics are just of one of the ladies' top cola. Let me know what you think~> :joint:

hey,

if you are careful enough and remove all the pollen sacks, then your hermie will still produce adequate bud. Understand that it does use a lot of energy to produce the male flower, and takes some energy to recover from picking them off everyday, so don't expect it to flourish.

Also, all it takes is for you to miss one, and it can bust open over night. Then your entire crop is ruined, so it's really up to you.

But bottom line, if you remove all the sacks, there will be no problem in your garden.

RIP. There were way too many budsites and i dont have an hour a day to play with balls. Now I can start training the others into the gap so It's not too bad.

I'm harvesting a hermi next weekend, turned out okay, a little stunted, and yes, pickin off all the nutsacks is nearly impossible. I've sampled some pieces at different stages and all is well as far as I can tell, and my little lady is pretty big, she'll prolly put out around 1 1/2 ozs.

After a date with a blender and some everclear this is what he/she looks like... I threw some stems in there just because they were there. How long to soak? Two weeks ok? any guesses on how many grams?

I would have done a BHO extraction... But leave it for 1-2 days IMO.

The THC dissolves out into the everclear, then you filter it and dissolve out the alcohol. You end up with a sexy ball of tar. After talking to some friends of mine I'm going to do 4 days of soaking.
