whats the best thing to do with a hermie?

[k3nz1387]

hi im growing 5 plants in a grow tent under 2 125 watt cfls. i'v noticed 1 of the plants have little balls. only 5 or 6 on the whole plant. they haven't opened but i noticed that theres pistils growing out of 2 of them on top of the plant. anyway whats the best way to deal with a hermie? should i just pick off as many balls as i can see. chop it down or anything else? i'll try and get sum pics

Get it out of your grow room fast!!!!!!!!! IF you wanna grow it somewhere else alone that's fine but get it out before the sacks burst.

Just kill it its not worth it possibly pollinating the females as 1 male can pollinate for up to 3 miles. Unless you want to scrub your house and air filters and such to make sure the pollen isnt laying around

if you have a pig, feed it to the pig.

fdd2blk, can i pick your brain for a sec? I have a 2 hermies, and I am asking myself the same question. There are some white hairs and buds. My question is can a hermie produce worthwhile weed or should I cut it down?

i've let them grow out before and it was a mess. if you have ANY other options, use them.

Thanks, I think I am going to grow them out, there is some doubt in my mind that they are not hermies, but instead late blooming females (due to light leak early on in flowering) since I have not been able to identify any banana's yet and this is the 10th week of my grow (4 veg 6 flower)

sounds like it could easily be a hermie. fdd2blk is right, they're a mess.
