Can this get any f*cking worse. ALL HERMIED

[jtrizzy]

So if you have been following my threads I had issues with over watering than aphids, and well now fucking hermied, all 4! I saw a post on here with someone saying hey I found this is this a ball sac? But it had pistils coming out of it so my first thought was ok it’s just a calyx. Well the dude picked it and saw a seed. So my thought was “oh shit I have those”. I just went to pick one and low and behold a small seed growing. Seed was still green but was in there. I picked another 15 off and all the same thing.

Now what? Are these fucked? Do I trash these? Man this is one issue after another. FML. They are everywhere, under all buds etc.

 

[racerboy71]

why trash it? are you only growing four plants? if so, i'd just keep on keeping on with the grow.. sure seeds suck, but they're more of a pita than a problem for the finished product.. there's zero evidence that supports seeded bud being any less potent than sensi..
if this were my grow and all four plants i were growing hermied, i'd probably just keep on going till i cross the finish line.. not much else you can do at this point, other than scrapping it all and starting fresh, but being that you've come this far, i'd just keep on growing.

Might be mistaken because I can't tell very well, but I assume you are referring to the calyx that pop out at the nodes? Those are fine if so. I can't see any hermie banana's in the pictures anyways, maybe if you remove one or two of the "ball-sac's" and picture them alone so I know what you are referring to?

 

[jtrizzy]

Seeds . They look like calyx, and have 1 or pistils coming out of them, but when you open them low and behold. I pulled off the main ones, the ones under close to the buds I left. No point in pulling them off. I am just going to grow it out. Just such a punch in the balls, no pun intended.

 

[sensi8739]

That's not a hermie so far as I can tell. They don't produce seeds, they are male flowers and will put out pollen which would seed your bud within proximity. The don't look like a calyx, but have a distinct set of balls with banana like protrusions before opening up and releasing pollen. Just keep on keeping on like @racerboy71 said. You're probably worrying too much and need to let nature take it's course. You can always start over, and you've come this far, so might as well let it play out/learn.

Ya I am. How can male flowers show up? Is it possible that these are calyx’s and the hard thing inside is not a seed? I dunno what to think at this point lol. Never seen this before. Does that mean this plant was pollenated some how? You saw the seeds right? First pic are the seeds.

 

[sensi8739]

They just pop up sometimes due to a wide variety of possibilities. It's distinct enough that you will immediately think... that's weird. I've only had it on a couple varieties, but every time, it was possible to just keep my eyes peeled and remove them. Never seeded much. Male flowers are really easy to spot once you've seen them a couple times, and they take a bit of time to open up and release pollen, so you usually have a bit of time to catch them.

So it is normal for them to even have pistils coming out of them to disguise them as a calyx? That’s what I thought they were becuase of the pistils.

 

[sensi8739]

Nope. Those are just single calyx. The nodes lots of times put out a single calyx like that. This is not a male flower or a seeded female.That was just the inside of the calyx there at the node. It's perfectly normal growth is what I was saying.

So these are not seeds than? These were inside the calyx’s

 

[sensi8739]

I don't believe so. Again. Hard to tell what's going on fully without being there to look at the plant. But the pictures are not of male flowers, and I don't see any random bananas in the background of any of the pictures, so I think you are probably good. I can't be certain you weren't dusted by pollen from some source, but those are not hermie flowers you are picturing.

Well if they are not, than I hope I did not just piss off the plants again by picking these off lol.

I too found 3 seeds in the same areas as OP, at the nodes........................was my plant pollinated at one point there or what?

Dude I have no idea. I am so confused. They look like calyx’s, they had pistils yet had a seed forming inside. I mean I have the proof of the seeds they are right there in the pics. I just left the others and gonna let it finish. Super confused though.

 

[Roger A. Shrubber]

calyxes have material inside them, they aren't hollow. just because you found something inside one of them doesn't make it a seed...
look closely at your buds, pull them gently away from the main stem. if you don't see any little yellow flowers, you don't have hermies.
plants will grow calyxes at branching nodes. if they don't make little yellow flowers, they aren't male. and they aren't hermies.
i do not think those are seeds you found at all, i think they were just normal calyxes, with normal material inside.

Every plant I have as a keeper produces non-viable seeds
No effect on potency or yield as far as I can tell

and....unless you're planning on selling this, so fucking what? why do people have this perception that seeds make weed worthless?
if this is for your personal consumption, who cares if there are seeds in it? they don't make it poisonous. if there are a shit ton of them, they cut down yield, but it doesn't seem like you have more than a few (if any). a lot of people say they like it better, that it causes more complex cannabinoids and terpenes to be produced that aren't produced in non seeded weed

so yeah, it could be a lot fucking worse, relax and keep an eye out for nanners

No no not selling at all. It’s for personal use for my gf (anxiety issues). I just didn’t know if it will take all the energy into making seeds and not put any into trich production. good shit on with the show!

maybe a little, but not anywhere close to enough to make it "trash" , it'll still be well worth smoking, or w/e ever else you want to do with it

Just so you know your the one who tripped me the fuck out lol. Looks like these aren’t seeds my man. Once again I learned not to be a dumbass and to chill the fuck out. Man I am High strung lol.
