Hermies? Get rid or carry on??

Hi guys, been growing for a few years and never had this happen before any help will be truly appreciated!


Currently in week 4/5 into flower, growing 6 plants , they're seeds that were found in bud a while ago not sure what strain (was 7, panicked and threw 1 out when i sin the nanna)

Anyway 6 plants under 2 x 600w hps and 1 x 1150w gavita pro dual spectrum, 19L oxypot (hydroponics/dwc) using shogun nutrients, room temps have been stable around the 24-27c mark until 2/3 days ago when we've had the hot weather outside the room as been around 31/32c. Res temps around 21c but using silver bullet so no root rot issues, roots are massive solid and white as they should be.

These girls have been flying with no problems whatsoever! No stress nothing, i had a look at 1 of them because all of a sudden i sin yellowish leaves and then i found the pollen sac/nannas, so i threw the plant out and checked the others, there was nothing on them, 24 hours later i go to top up the res's and checked over again now another 2/3 plants are showing nannas, can i still grow them as normal or not? What happens now? My friend says it should be ok but buds will have seeds in (minor issue for me personally) but is that it? Like is that the worse that can happen? Can i still pull a decent yield and quality bud???

P.s they're only on the lower popcorn buds AT THE MINUTE


Please help

I had an hermie my firts grow outside last year. It took me sometime to find it.. and the genetics from those ladies was not so good.. (seeds i found in bud from dispensary) so they all turns out to be pollinized... I got some nice buds without seeds but had to cut earlier and some buds got plenty of seeds. so they look good but they dont have lot of potency. this year Hopefully it will be better. I suggest get rid of those plants or throw them outside far away from others before they pollinize them

Thankyou bro appreciate the replies hopefully i pull something half decent haha

Pull off the lowers and let it ride. Hermie nanners typically express on the lower branches but one open cluster creates a seeded shit show.

It's really a personal preference. Do you like to smoke seeds? I don't. Do you like to go away for the weekend? I do. Plants like this will need to be spun and inspected daily from week 2 on. That's a lot of time you could be doing something else.

Evil Nanners:

For some reason I always get seeds, likely over stress. or pollen is blowing in the window or a hermie contaminated the basement. Nothing worse than seeds. Roll one up and miss a seed. Next thing smoke is shooting out the side. The burnt popcorn smell.

I have the same problem at week 2 and 3 I got rid of the lower branches where they appeared
