You got issues to deal with there buddy. How far into flowering are the 26 girls? If less than 4 weeks or so, you can use the DM Reverse on them to help protect the others from turning ( Yes, it does work )
Yes I pulled it right when I saw it of course fully seeded(im talking 1000's of seeds)
I had 13 clones of my own, the other half were from a breeder I know all came from his mothers, The plant that hermie'd was stressed due to 2 factors one I had a 1000W light fall on it (hook ripped our of ceiling, and it was also right next to all 4 of my ballasts and 2 50 amp junction boxes(I plan on fixing both of these issues when the girls are out of there.
I have some balls type of growth on another I found tonight but nothing that looks like seed as of yet, at 45 days now Have a pretty big crop sure hope it aint all seeded, but to late to turn back now.

....If any pollen found its way to those other 26 plants, you might end up wishing you did "waste your time with Reverse" to ensure that the others dont start to hermie as well

So far after the advice, its been 6 days since Ive plucked and sprayed "Reverse and Saturator" and NO new balls forming, slower growth than my other but expected... Great Feedback from you all, Thanks a ton.

Yeah what she says, and heres one free "attaboy! " for ya too !! Yeah, I just did my 2nd app of the Reverse on my grow after having a problem with a hermie. No signs of the others developing anything and the Reverse sure didnt hurt 'em any, they look pretty nice.

Seeds from a hermi/self-pollinated plant will produce beans that are very, very pre disposed to grow a hermi plant. Hermi pollen is only useful when pollinating another plant. In his case they are clones from the same mother so they are pretty useless. I would listen to Rawbudz and give them the chop if the Reverse does not work......
Day 52 so far so good not seen any other balls or seeds.

Thats good news ! Keep a keen eye on 'em and you should be OK.

Just keep it alive and let flower past prime and most strains will hermi as a last ditch effort to reproduce. Least stressful and most natural method I know of. CS needs to be used pretty much throughout the entire grow to be effective....seed plant or clone? Hell I'm trying to hermi one and can't do it.

i have cut em off and saved my ass a little bit but if you see one about to pop chances are one has popped elsewhere. oh and COHO if u wanna hermie it heat stress the fuck out of it like get it 90 plus a day or two in a row,and simultanuisouly throw ur light schedule off like cutting lights halfway through a 12/12. or the sure fire way for me was to ph it down or up by a full point or 2
Cut the sacks off then get that "Reverse" stuff from the hydro shop. I'd like to know once and for all if that stuff works

Yo thunderfuck what was the outcome with the reverse did it completely stop new male growth or if you have already finished then any seeds? i just reversed one of my plants and kinda want to know what to expect

I used reverse soon as I saw nannas popping up, seemed to have worked on several but still seen some male nannas popping after I'd used it. I knew the strain I've got hermied (dp blueberry) so I got onto dutch masters and asked them directly what was the script with the nannas showing after using reverse, this is what they said.
Hi Hydro,
You shouldn't get male flowers with Reverse unless your strain REALLY does the hermi thing. You should mix a little saturator with the reverse per instructions and use right after mixing. Usually 2 applications are all that is necessary. In your case it sounds like 2 wasn't enough. You're safe to apply the Reverse up to 3 weeks before harvest. I would apply it now in your case. It will stop the seed production, restart flower production, and sterilize the pollen.
If you grow this strain again in the future I'd hit them with Reverse 3 or 4 times at the start of flower. Also since you're still having issues after the Reverse double check your room for any light leaks, even an led light is enough to stop the dark cycle. Large temp changes between day and night temps can also cause plants to herm.h R
