Found a Herm Need Help!

Hi. I have 3 to 4 wks left in flower and I found a herm.:sad: Out of the 15 plants only one is showing signs of being a herm (bananas just started to show). None of the others are herming and I don't know what to do. Should I cut it or leave it ? Will the others even get pollinated in that time span? Please Help.

Cut it down NOW.......only takes a second after pollen is released to fertilize the stigma. Keep a good look out for other hermies too- where there's one, there's often more.

sigh


damp it down with water before plucking off the ball plus turn off any fans , note the plant grows as a mirror so if theres 1 on 1 side of the bud then theres another around the back also needing plucking , check daily and keep on it , note it takes 3 weeks for a seed to be ready so youcan stop a week or so before chopping assurred off a good job , once chopped throw away any seed you do find as its hermy seed which will never bring you anything but more trouble
 
I just moved it out of the room, but now I'm stressin about the other plants. None of them are herm but im scared the one I moved might have pollinated them. The herm I took out had little bananas just starting to come out. How long does it usually take to pollinate another female?

DO NOT spray water on flowering plants. Remove it with tweezers. Leave the plant. Youre going to find more bananas and probably some seeds when you harvest.

A few bananas on a plant is not really a "herm". A lot of plants will form a few late in flowering. Even if it did open, It would most likely only pollinate the bud it grew from.

Not a big deal.
