I currently have 3 plants 2 are doing great the 3rd became a hermaphrodite because it didn't want to veg right (possibly bad seed) it looked weak when it first started.
First question is can I trim the pollen sacs off so it stays female?
2. I had to trim 2 leaves off (not flowering still growing) due to they got ripped somehow. Do I only cut off the leaves or the stems too. Also, how much can I trim at once without overdoing it? 4-5 leaves or only 2-3?

Ripped leaves are fine, just leave them. As far as pruning, you will get mixed opinions.


If you don't want seeds, then pick the nanners, but with two other females in the same room yourisk pollinating them with the herm. But what's wrong with a few seeds?

Ok, thanks. Also cut dead leaves off? So the plant doesn't try reviving them right?

Exactly pure fem seeds. But I heard it gets really seedy. Like the bud becomes Reggie pretty much.

Don't trim the leaves, just leave them alone. When a leaf is dead, give it a slight tug. If it pulls easily off the stem it was ready to fall off, if it doesn't pull off with slight pressure, just leave it and give it another tug tomorrow.

eek, if theres pollen sacks you could​ tediously go and rip each pollen sack off everyday so you can make sure they dont open up and poop all over your buds. idk man it seems like a lost cause.

good luck mate i wish for the best

trimming a few leaves is fine.. I just cut like 15 clones off my one plant and guess what... its growing new clones every week.. cutting a few leaves isnt gonna hurt anything. I would def chop that hermi down though.

The hermie is really small. Im impressed it madeit to the flowring stage. It only grew 4 sacs and flowering on the top only. So if the sacs come back ima pull em again haha.

My la con always herms a bit. If you stay on top of male flowers minimal seeding happens. It's one plant on your first grow it'll give you somethin to do while you stare.

It amazes me that those damn things I spent so much time removing are now 20$ or more a pop. People in ca still buy pot. (Crazy) Idk on seeds lucky enough to live around tons growers clones everywhere haven't grown from seed in years.

im looking for some OG clones/seeds as well! dont really wanna go through the seed websites from the UK and whatnot. is that safe? has anyone had any experience with the sites?

i need clones :( im actually in cali and clones around here at dispensaries are 'ehh'. you'd think that every dispensary is booming with insane clones(which may be true in different areas) but all the clubs around here have is dank flower.

me walking into a clinic:: "i fucking LOVE this herojuana OG i bought the other day..now where is the clone for this strain...id like that please."

but its a lost cause. its all about who you know when it comes to fire strains. im still on the long journey to finding my​ strain.

If you buy online some people get away with it other times customs gets it and removes the seeds and puts a nice note saying don't do it again.
The shops never have the good stuff for sale. Money hungry business owners. Haha
