Hermies and what to do?

So I bought this Blue berry clone, verged it out and cloned the piss out of it. Flowered the first one and its fucking full of seeds. Never seen any signs of male till I started trimming..Any how, will they all be hermies or is it due to stress or wtf? Id hate to get rid of it but I will if need be. Im just wondering if I stressed this on out/ or was it a hermy from the get go? Is there a way to tell before they finish, other then looking for seeds? Any feed back would be great
 
I noticed that only the lower section has beans. Can I remove those bud sites and finish them or is that just a waste of time and they will end up crap any how?
 
if you have other plants =kill it, it will spread. dont know about the others tho , good luck. i tried to cut them off and hang on to it and it spread thru my batch
 
Ok, I cut it down. But the original plant finished and I got a bunch of seeds. Are those going to produce hermie plants as well or?
 
Well, what I read was that 75% of the beans will be female so at least I got something good out of her. Not that the smoke was bad or anything..Just don't like having seeds in my shit...LOl
 
I would ditch those beans, nearly all will be very sensitive to stress and will hermie. It is not worth it, if it was me I would gather the seeds up and throw them around in spots where you think they might make it outdoors just for the hell of it in the spring. That is the most effort I would put into those seeds. Just pick up some new seeds and start cloning those. Good Luck!
 
I'm doubtful your plant hermied. My guess is that it threw out a nanner or two that you never saw ( those little yellow fecker play hide-and-seek really well ). If that is the case, then those seeds are feminized ( although they will carry the nanner throwing trait with them and pop a nanner with induced stress ). I've seen seeds come off a nanner impregnated plant that never again threw a nanner., just fems all the way.
 
Yea know! That was what I was thinking too but, There were a ton of seeds...all on the bottom growth. The rest was normal. Oh well, Ill have to start new anyhow. Learn something new every day. I should have posted pics .
 
Thats because the buds that are seeded were the only buds affected by the bursting nanner, which tells me that the nanner ( or nanners ) were down low which, in all probability, is not where you spent most of your time gazing at your creation. Everyone tends to marvel at the colas but you need to look your bud sites over closely as often as possible. I'm telling you, those little yellows feckers are stealthy !!!!!
 
As a footnote,you should wipe down everything inside your tent ( including the inside of your tent ) with a bleach/water solution thus ridding your space of any renegade pollen.
 
Yeah, you might not have a problem at all with them but without knowing if they are hermie prone and with all the work we put into growing healthy plants it isn't worth the risk, time, headache to grow them out. Just my opinion. I wish you luck if decide to grow them out!
 
Ok, Ill do that. Its time for a cleaning anyhow...Thanks! And that makes perfect sense now that Im thinking about it..Good day folks!
 
^ I agree. There's too many good strains, without hermie genes, and proven track history. That it doesn't make any sense to continue growing with some sort of hermie trait gene in ANY of your strains. Fuck that shit.
 
Well, obviously if you have the means to purchase feminized seeds, then that's great.

Without knowing his details, maybe he is in a non-legal state and can't risk ordering beans. If it's all he has, then he will have to make the best of the situation, which from his post sounds like he has a shitload of feminized Blueberry beans now onhand. Nothing is 100%. Sometimes you gotta make do.
 
Yupp, Ive never ordered seeds before. Kinda sketchy in my eyes even though I do live in a legal state. I do clones from friends and clubs. The BB I have came from a club. Do seeds come if you live in a legal state?
 
Seeds can still be intercepted going to a legal state because shipping internationally is governed by federal laws not state. I have never had a problem though. I always ship to an address other than where I grow. You can probably find some seeds locally if you are in a legal state, or you could get a couple clones from a good source (quarantine them and treat for bugs) then try to make your own feminized seeds. There instructions on how to do it all over this site and the internet using colloidal silver.

If you go the clone route I can't stress enough the quarantine and pest treatment. I didn't do that recently and ended up with a spider mite problem.
