okay its late in the game.. only big bud i have out of 9 ladies..at day 52 or so has shown some hermie action.. my question is: are these pollen sacks or seed pods..plant has not been flushed yet..and recommendations on the immediate. It is located in close proximity to some high end different strains same age..and none the others are shown any hermie..???

ya like small lil clusters of corn ..seedlike almost..i can take my fingers and pull ea 1 out. there greenish.. immature feeling..squeeze it and liquid goo comes out. just noticed them this morning ..ive been checking calayxs daily.. this is the 1st...ive seen.. and i have 4 other strains running next to this big bud

That white thing looks like a male flower, I've never seen any pollen sacks like that, they look like corn???

It's hard to tell, but the pods appear to be newly formed seeds. They seem too round to be pollen sacs. If it simply in one spot, just clip it out. That or keep a very close eye on it.

its everywhere after close inspection.. thsi big bud plant is 5footer..with 10 heads...so i didnt see it till today...but on closer exam..there on every bud pretty much down low..but to take a comb would be a battle..think i should try to remove them all tommorrow...?

Yea, those don't look like any pollen sacs I've seen either.. Then again, doesn't exactly look seed like either.. Word of advice though, if you find something you think is a pollen sac, its best not to squeeze it, or disturb it at all in your grow area..

very immature seed pods will be squishy since they have just started to develop. I would just keep a close eye on them. You will get a sure sign very soon. :peace:

I guess its also worth noting that pollen doesn't only come from hermies.. Where in your grow room is that plant located relative to air intake?

yea, if this is the only plant in the room showing those, I would chop it .. its a danger to the rest of the crop.. those pollen sacks are bastards and they can open up and spread their sh1t pretty early on.. good luck

But I'd be amazed if they were pollen sacs.. It might just be killer chronic, with a couple nice viable seeds.. And a pollen sac can ruin a whole crop.. Why assume the pollen is only going to seed the plant it grew on..

Just watch then closely but my last harvest was 2 blueberry fem from dutch passions and they did what ur describing I just smashed one every couple of days (risky) to make sure there was no pollen or seed forming it stayed a clear sticky goo until about a week and a half before harvest they began to open and just douse the plant in resin... This is actually common in many strains isolate it and watch it close removing and smashin one of those pods from random spots every 2-3 days if there is yellow lookin dust forming chop it to the ground and send me a brownie plz? Lol

intake is in a isolated corner of the room...garage is on slab.....grow is on corner of slab..but where elevated hot water heater closet is inside the op..which leads to the crawl space thro subfloor...i cut thru subfloor installing a 180cfm fan from underneath the house..draws cool air from the crawlspace which has concrete vent windows down there. just blows st8 into the grow area. its almost the furthest plant from intake in the entire room.

It was my understanding big bud strain had alot of this hermie shit happening to it late in flower. I googled it and even some rui users had problems with it. other forums too. 1 cat had it with big bud outta like 10 strains he was running..big bud would alwasy display some sort of hermie traits towards the end. Is this the case with me, I dunno.

I will just try to keep my eye on them ... i dont see how pollen couldve entered the room..

is it possible u may have a light leak or have u fliped the light on in the middle of the dark period this will cause pollen sacs.

those are seeds. sometimes ur plant will just self. if its in the corner or it gets a small exposure of light when it shouldn't. they can also self by genetics. decent looking plant though. just let er finish, and pick out the seeds when you smoke. my .02:bigjoint:

room is fairly sealed..def no light leaks..there has been like 3 times during this op i used a cfl for a overhead work light during lights out for 15-20 min..but i would do that right after my HIDs went out..so not a true interuption..

maybe i didnt catch a male flower cluster..and it released just a lil pollen..or this plant released it on2 itself..shit i dont know..but like youall said ..im lettn it go..theres 8 other plants that arent showing any male parts and ive got a week and a half to go tops...............

heres some recent pics thanks for all the responses guys..i guess all i can do is keep my eye on it..and update this thread for documentation on potential big bud traits..

dont think there fem u get that from acid or asprin treating a hermie (i think) and crossing its pollen against a true female..and that shit i heard is hella tough to work the kinks out on
