Bloody Hemaphrodites

I have 6 plants. 1 x skunk #1, 2 x Purple haze, 2 durbon poison and 1 northern lights. I sprouted them all from seed. They are 3 weeks into flowering. 4 of them have turned maphro, So mad :evil: For about 10 days now I've been pulling the balls off the plants to prevent seeding. All the plants but one are awesome. I'm just wondering if its actually worth keeping the maphros even though i've ripped off the balls. There are prominant buds coming through on all. Any feed back is appreciated
cheers :-?

It's a real gamble man, commonsense pretty much dictates the possible problems here, if you can separate the full female plant from the hermies I would do that as soon as possible. Very often just pulling the balls off isn't enough as the process of pulling them may actually cause pollen to be released, and the plants get pollinated ridiculously easy. If they were all you had I would say keep them, they will still yeild regardless, you're just going to have a bad yield because a lot of the plants energy will be going to reproducing the balls and seeds.

Cheers for the feed back man. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do cause I have only one grow room. The last hermie i had yielded nearly a pound by itself. So i might grow this lot then regrow the only female and clone the bugger.

my first mexi-brick weed grow ended up being hermis. i plucked all 3 of by bagseed girls that were shehees! balls came in waves then would not show for weeks. i ended up with seedless. it gets harder to spot the balls later in flowering.

What was the quality of your bud like? was it still good as any female?

YES. out of all 3 hee shees, i plucked say 29 balls max. they came in lil clusters say 3 maybe 4 at a time. then that plant might have another out break. if you watch your plants daily you have a good chance. yes, all 3 were just the same as sinsimilla.

i try not to mess with bagseed anymore, but i hear you can cut the branch that has the sacs. i heard that they usually grow on the same branch. i could be very wrong with that though.

Well I'll defer to someone with more personal experience on this one, if you're on top of it I suppose you can keep things under control.
