HERMIE?

also I would like to add. I don’t think it is prudent to just kill off plants for a couple balls or a few single nanners. Especially if it may be from correctable stress factors. And it usually is from stress. Whether we want to admit it or not.

I have had bad outbreaks from nutrient stress and heat stress in the past and corrected the issues and the nanners did not come back and only a few bag seeds or only seedy lowers happened.

I'd pluck and grow as well. I have some OG Kush going. A couple weeks ago I noticed a banana and then a single seed on one of the cola's. I plucked the nanner, no more have shown up, and I'm going to let the seed mature. The rest of the buds are all looking awesome. No need to kill a plant unless it's full blown hermie and risks seeding your entire crop. But that's just my way of thinking. I hate to waste time growing just to end up killing a plant because I might get a seed or two in a pound of weed.

I am 100% sure each plant you have shown is a hermi. Not banna late in flowering but full on balls.
Now like others have said if it is a light ball showing then pluck off and try to address any environmental factor that may of caused it. Light leaks, under watering , cold temps, etc.
I have had hermi plants produce a perfectly respectable amount of great herb by plucking off balls upon finding every 2-3 days and or spraying with plain water to render pollen non viable.
Cheers :)

I got no interest in picking off nanners or growing plants that will hermie if I fart too close to them

How's your room.. any light leaks? Or interruptions in the dark period? The reason I said pick them off is in most cases with female dominant herms the balls show early unlike nanners which tend to show up the last two or three weeks of flower.. the balls can easily be removed where as nanners you can't because they are often inside of the bud as well as the out sides.. BUT! You can always pitch them

im sure theres good genetics in there for those who don't mind picking off the balls

its just not my thing... I knw its become the norm and peeps are just excepting it and the breeders will always blame the grower because there not wanting to admit the time and effort they put in isn't going to cash in

maybe its from bottle necked genetics, maybe its from not properly testing the offspring, maybe its just part of what you gotta go thru to get there special cut

either way its not for me.... especially when I got so many strains running together and the rest are stable and everything looks fucking super healthy and on point

you see post #8 the first pic

the one single small leaf that looks yellowed and curled that's at the bottom of a 4ft tall bush on an indoor grow

that one leaf apparently is enough to tell the breeder that Im slamming the plants with nutes and that's why it hermied lol

I didn't bother to even reply

Ummmm NO! These are of poor genetics..in quality genetics you would really have to stress the plant to induce herming and even then they don't always through out balls.. imo.. plants that herm under minimal stress are of garbage genetics..
I was just saying earlier to pick off the balls if they weren't to bad just to save the crop.. not because they might be worth it..
