Should I Toss It Now?

So, last 2-3 runs I've been hit with sacks and nanners like crazy. After my last harvest I took everything out of the room, cleaned everything with a good cleaning agent, and started two more ladies into flowering. Within 2-3 weeks I am already seeing more dreaded sacks.

Last time I ran permafrost that may of had some heat stress, went awol caused sacks and nanners on everything all around it.. have been riddled since (this is what started it all). On with the current situation, I have two girls in flowering, 1x GG#4, and some kind of Bubba hybrid. After 2-3 weeks I have just notices sacks on the GG#4, though mind you I was not really looking, so I may have missed the early signs.

I did grab this clone from an unknown place, but I have kept her in good conditions and she really hasn't been stressed that much. I did end up snapping a branch off her a little over a week into flowering, which surprisingly enough is the same stalk the sacks are located on, coincidence?

--

Should I just toss the GG#4 now and pray to god nothing happens to the Bubba? I just feel like crap wasting another girl because of this. I have tossed several flowering ladies since this situation first started, though admittedly it was me just trying to run the same strain over and over expecting different results. I let the last one finish and there were sacks, nanners every where, and a few seeds here and there. However, I think I may have permanently pollinated my room or something, because these lil fuckers keep coming back.

What the hell do I do?

Stray pollen from previous herms wouldnt cause male flowers to grow from the newer plant like that, It would cause the buds it came in contact with to form seeds. Sounds like you've had a string of bad luck with genetics. You could remove that plant or pick off the male flowers, if theyre just on the lower sites like that it might not progress but in my experience a few will pop up later down the line.

Just try to keep your environment in check and get some clones that have been grown successfully by people you know if possible. If growing from seed again just be watchful especially with glue/cookie/og aka herm prone crosses.

Ya thats rough. i butchered a plant for clones and then threw it into flower once. The thing hermed on me pretty good. I tossed it because i had a full space and it wouldnt be missed. I also had some light leaks once from joining two rooms together that may have caused some balls (or maybe it was also untested genetics)
Personally i would pluck those off and keep running. Check the plant every day for them and hopefully you can stay on top of it. With a small grow i would rather have bud with a couple seeds in it that you can pick out when you harvest, or while its growing, and at least blast if it turns out terrible which it wont, than no bud.

I went to check on the ladies today after plucking off the sacks last night, and I noticed a little shoot of nanners coming up under one of the forming buds. I am considering letting this one run, I plucked that bunch of nanners and looked her over for more.

You mention a couple of seeds in it when I harvest, but how many is a couple, and will my other ladies in the room get seeds in them as well? I have another strain lined up ready to go.. I'd rather not waste time or run the risk with my other ladies. Need some input on this for sure..

BIN IT! sounds harsh but a) you dont sound like you want seeds even a few b) you dont want to risk other girls.
