I’m in week three of flowering a bag seed. I’ve had some light timing issues the past two weeks. A few slip ups and power outages. Just started finding male parts on this lovely flowering lady of mine. Is it all over? Time to cut down? I’m at week 3 of flower, in FFOF, 12/12 feeding AN micro bloom perfect ph. I have stuff in veg so I’m concerned about pollen. What should I do?

It’s definitely hermied. Is it the only plant in flower right now? If so, won’t affect the others in Veg.

Lots will tell you to chop it down but I love stressed hermied plants, the buds are still great (depending on strain) plus you generally get fem seeds from it. You can cut the male parts off to get less seeds if you want though. This was a hermie that I got more than an ounce of the best stuff from.

I’m worried about pollen getting to my little girls in veg.

The pollen shouldn't bother them. Cannabis has to have receptive pistils and ovaries to use pollen. The pollen hits the pistil, gets stuck to it, the plant sends a little water to the pistil and washes it down to the ovary. The veg plants won't have receptive pistils and ovaries on it with the possible exception of ones at the internodes. Lots of strains have them there but I don't know if they'll use a pollen grain in veg. Water is supposed to deactivate pollen so a good misting would help if you're worried.

I hear that. I’m def gonna have to give the tent a solid bleaching before I bring anything else into it as well I’m guessing. I think this whole thing is all due to some light leak. So frustrating
