Hermie ?

Could this female plant from feminized seed be turning on me? It is Skywalker and I have two other also Skywalker plants doing well. This one is a severe runt at less than 2’ tall and all conditions are the same. The others are 4+’ tall. I also have strawberry banana and Kali Mist both are growing incredibly well. All within 2-3 weeks to harvest.
This one in question is showing signs only in one branch and none of the others.
If it’s a hermie what do I do?

Yup it’s a herm- all off spring from those seeds will be herm. Do you have any overall pics those buds seem very ruderalis

I pulled another from the grow room that is a hermie. I though I should harvest those but I’m going to let the others finish before harvesting. Or are you saying keep them all (Hermies and female plants) in the room and let them all finish?

this is correct, you may as well let them all finish in the same room, at this point the hermies have already thrown their pollen around.

Ok thanks! I was going to harvest these Skywalker’s this next week anyway so light as well put them back

It might be possible that you have seeds in all the plants but that doesn't mean that all the plants hermed. You might end up getting healthy seeds that might not have the hermie genes. Fingers crossed for you! Either way you can still smoke seedy weed just takes longer to pack a bowl, plants looked great otherwise!

Awesome! Will the bud be changed from what it would have been or will I see the same affects when smoked?
also how will I know if the seeds made will not be Hermies? I’d think we won’t know...?

Weed might not be as potent if it hadn't produced seed but will still get you high. Smoked plenty of seedy weed in my day and can't recall any of it not getting me high. Good question, seeds that look healthy and are fully developed like a seed should look in my mind are seeds that were pollinated from one plant to another. Seeds that look small undeveloped, pale green no strips etc in my mind are gonna likely be herm seeds but really no way one knowing. Personally I think plants herm from a poor environment or starving them which then causes them stress which makes them think they are about to die. Grain of salt here because I'm not a expert and far from it but if I find a nice looking seed I'm going to grow it specially if I liked the plant it came from.

Very good point!
My grow is indoors and I am a first time grower. I’ve learned a lot and a lot of what to do next time. Each crop will have my undivided attention and new knowledge will be applied at every step. Odd that the Skywalker plants are the only Hermies. I’ll keep a close eye on the rest of my crop
