Kill it now or ride it out.

Jesus. Just over 4 weeks from germination and we have balls (a ball anyway) already. Popped 5. One is looking pretty strange very squat with almost no nodal spacing and another one already showing herm possibilities. Do I even bother with these or kill em now? I'm actually thinking about killing the entire grow and starting over. Bummer is these seeds are from a "big/popular" breeder and weren't cheap. I've had herms from this breeder before. Not happy. Shame on me I guess. Am I jumping the gun too early or should I ride them out and see what happens? I'm still weeks out from flip.

i would let it go for a while, need more info breeder, strain, fem, reg, fem auto, etc. its a tough call sometimes. i killed half my room the one time looking for a nice cut of platinum kush breath from in house genetics its platinum x ogkb v2.1 but it was worth it in the long run thing washes around 11-12% the flowers are just covered in resin and hard as a rock. I would wait a bit and be absolutely sure each plant is indeed a herm or not.

What's the seed isit a fem ? How many more have popped out ? I've had fem seeds before that showed balls and I've plucked them and not many have popped up and the bud was good still just gta stay on top of it

Ok. I was stoned and aggravated haha . I will keep the three larger ones (including the one with the male part) and see how it pans out., However the two ( in the 4x4 cubes) I was going to move to my 2x2 space are going in the trash so I can get a jump on something new just in case. For what its worth they are Feminized Oreos crosses but I'm not going to bust out the breeder. This is the first pre-flower "herm" I've ever seen. Can't be a good sign.

EDIT: On a side note notice the different growth rates of the different sized RW blocks. I really didnt think it would make that much difference at this point. Interesting.

Yep. Trust your instincts. Second herm in as many buys from this breeder. Its a shame because the first one was probably the best weed I grew this year. First one I was able to pluck the few male parts. This one not so much. This ones got to go. I'll watch it for a couple of more days but its not looking good. More than a few male parts. When you see male parts 4 weeks into veg it can't be a good sign. lol
