It was just free seeds at the grow shop from a local breeder. Figured use the cheap ones my first grow to learn & save the $100 ones. Well, I learned

If it’s the end of all the plants you should most definitely clean the tent. It’s good practice to do after every run, shortened or not.

I definitely don’t agree with this. I’ve had several plants that have thrown a couple balls usually on lower branches, pluck them off and carry on. If more pop up then maybe trash it.

A valid point, but OP's plant has them right from the start of flower on the top of the plant.

No lie, time is money. Don't play with bad seeds or try to grow a clone better of a plant that didn't turn out well. Move onIt was just free seeds at the grow shop from a local breeder. Figured use the cheap ones my first grow to learn & save the $100 ones. Well, I learned

Already got new/good seeds sitting on the router in paper towels, the old plant chopped, soil spread on lawn & a new grow journal going.

It's OK, you learned something. Unless you run fems and auto fems, you will need to discern sexes no matter what.

Best thing I can tell u op is clones are more stable than from seed. If you took clones of those plants and they are progressing nicely they likely won't herm on you. But I would just move on to better seeds if you have em already

Oops, i just assumed it'd be trash & not worth smoking. Then I figured I'd be cleaning out the tent for hours to get rid of pollen. Cool though, I'll remember this incase I'm ever down to 1 plant again.

Lots of newer strains have dominant intersex traits, after so many disappointments I ended up getting some optic foliar switch, label says mkp but it’s some kind of ethylene blocker that prevents male flower production. Bit pricey at $40/L and no dilution but no balls on my plants now. You just spray your bud sites at day 7 and 17 of flower

I feel like it is very true as stated above their are a lot of intersex traits in genetics these days. Gotta keep a watchful eye towards the end if from seed and make sure they don't last ditch try to pollinate themselves. It's not that big of a issue for most because seeds don't really have time to develop. I add a new plant to my grow every 2 weeks and take one out so it's a bigger deal for me.

When I first got hit with pests and then went through 5day heatwave, I used switch but without “transplant” as a preventative measure. I was told it would work still. What are your thoughts about that?
