Bho oil from hermie harvest 3 weeks early

[Honey Oil Riot Squad]

Hello all,
This is my first grow under HPS and unfortunately one of my 3 strains (1 plant per) appears to have turned hermie on me. There are seed pods growing out the top of many of the buds like this:






On the other hand, my other two strains GSC and NYCD look fantastic:



I'd rather not fuck up my 2 non-hermie, and far better looking plants with dense buds bc of this shit strain I got (it's called Misty). So I feel like my best option would be to cut it.

Problem is, I'm only one month into flower still. This is a 6 to 7 week strain so harvesting 2 to 3 weeks early is not gonna help much... and especially just by the looks of the buds, that shits probably NOT gonna be pleasant to smoke at all.

Still, I'd rather not totally waste the plant, there's a lot of cannabinoids in there. So I'm wondering if anybody has run into a problem like this where they have had to cut the plant way early, but rather than throw it away, they still dry it, grind it down, and turn it into BHO?
Does it still work okay? Is the oil smokable? And how is the high? Anything on the topic would be helpful.
Otherwise, what have people done to make use of plants that had to be cut way early in flower?

It's gonna be some clear oil that will taste ok & barely will get you high I think...it's not even far enough along to have active thc in the trich heads I'm sorry to say- no way you can let it go a few more weeks by pinching off all the male flowers? The pistils are still totally white

Those pods I have in the picture - are those the male flowers, or are those seed pods? To me they look like seeds but im a noob and don't know the difference. I wasnt expecting a hermie so I havn't done much research and I don't understand exactly how the hermies pollinate.
Are they male flowers or seeds?

Because technically this is not a "pure" hermie, correct? So it's got bisexual flowers. I thought that the "nanners" are what pollinate the female flowers and then you see seed pods. But I don't have seem to have any nanners anywhere... or nothing yellow at least.

Some of them are brown, maybe not in those pictures. But yes, mostly white.

I honestly can't tell either but if it's just selfed seed which does happen quite often when using femmed seeds i would harvest as normal....a few beans is no big deal...If you see nanners forming you can just pinch them off before they seed out all your crop but usually you won't see hermies this early unless some external stress is apparent.

But this wasn't fem seed... Would it be unable to pollenate the other plants if there are no nanners then?

Get out the tweezers and dedicate an hour a day to picking nanners. Not worth the trouble at the moment.

But I don't see any nanners! How could it self seed if it's not feminized and there are no nanners?
Should I pick the seed pods off?

Also, there was an external stress it grew a bit too close to the light. I've got the thing on contraband tied up in the corner now to avoid pollinating if a nanner does appear. Also the fan is blowing on Misty in the direction away from the other plants.

...Ok. So upon further inspection maybe I do see nanners... They arnt yellow yet, they're green, and like 3 to 5 of them each seem to be growing WITHIN that pod and just seem to be beginning to poke out of the "pod". Some of the "nanner pods" seem to still be closed, while others are cracked open ever so slightly to where you can see the very tips of what looks just like a cluster of "nanners" from pictures. Only these are even smaller, and green.

Here's the catch. The only thing that really popped out originally and looked incredibly odd and alarming to me were the closed ball/seed like "pods" on some of the buds, but now under a magnified, more thorough, inspection I found that there are A LOT more of these supposed "nanner clusters" than I thought.

So I began the task of plucking each and every suspected cluster of nanner I could find on the plant off. It took a good hour to do because it can be very difficult to closely inspect each and every individual bud (like over 100 of them... all up and down 7 main branches). I got a supposed "nanner cluster"/ "pod"/ weird hermie off of at least like 30 of them... that's a lot.

Is that too much nanners to be plucking off? Is it worth it? Most importantly would any of the nanners pollen even be viable at this point to pollenate? (Still green, not even yellow)

Destroy it. Not worth seeding ur good plants

 

[Budley Doright]

Do you have a picture of what you pulled off? Have you actually seen a seed yet?

 

[Richard Drysift]

Oh god it's a full retard...some kind of wierd genetic disorder yeah sorry man just kill it ASAP

Damn that sucks.
Down it goes though.
If I decide to dry it for the kick of it, should I not do it in the same room as my grow tent? Or will that not matter once I kill it?

All the balls or ball like ends I pulled off the buds

Ok also here is a couple of the balls under microscope and what I suspect to be the begging of a cluster of nanners poking out. Multiple of these balls have this same thing...



But this is about as far along as they get...
Do you think it's possible any pollen is even viable now?

I don't think it matters much they are not yet open- nice save catching it early

Research background before growing weed for the first time = Damn I'm good.

Lol still sucks though.

ummm I really dont think those are male parts. They look like calyxes. hope you didnt kill it yet

Go to the first page and look at the first pic. That's what I'm pulling off...
Those look like balls to me.

Then now look at the microscope pics I got. The green things growing out next to the female pistil in each photo are what I think to be nanners or in other words they are male stamen growing out. With the angle of the photos you can only see 2 in the first pic and one in the second, but you can also see the green of the others growing in.

And what really makes them look like a stamen or nanners in particular is the stripe going down the middle of each. There may be a few I mistaked for calyxs in there but just about all of those I'd I look under microscope I seem to see the same thing with nanners

Im going to disagree...its part of the bud growth. Every single one of those are calyxes you pulled off
