Herm question

I just had a plant herm for the first time. I posted it in the info about the strain in the autoflower forum. Any how, it did release some polin, not much but a few opened up. Two questions: What sort of damage can I expect? (my whole crop, half my crop, only the plants next to it). And, I have a few girls who are only a week and a half into flower and just barely showing sex, will they or could they be pollinated at such an early stage? Basically I want to know how fucked I am. Thanks in advance for taking the time to help me out!

impossible to answer, only time will tell. you gotta keep a very close eye on them, it may not affect them at all or alternatively the whole lot could be fucked. to stop this almost immediately get some Dutch Master Reverse and Penetrator and follow the instructions. its saved at least a dozen hermise for me over the years, and few for mates, its about £30 all in but i wont grow without it . you gotta get it NOW, dont fuck around . it stops the production of male hormones and that allows the plant to continue, its both cure and preventative.i cant recomend it enough here mate. before you spray take all your plants out the grow area and bleach all the walls and wipe all the pots down with the cloth, then very slowly check each plant and if you see any balls just rip them of carefully. then get the dm reverse and spray fuck out of them, leave them and do it a week later. but check plants continually every day.

I chopped the one that sprouted nuts and have not seen any other problems. Sorry if this is a dumb question but should I still spray the R&P to prevent seeds or as a further preventative against other plants herming? In any case, thank you for the response!

yes, some people spray as a preventative before any mention or sign of hermieing. Its alaways a good idea if your workin with fem'd seeds , especially if its got unproven genetics. no [problem mate, i know exactly what its like , first time it happened to me i fuckin freaked i was gonna trash the whole fucking grow, but i asked a few questions in here and got directed to various threads, i read loads of fucking shit, spent hours researching it until i ended up with a pretty good knowledge of what i had to do.
