Hi guys
Good afternoon currently on my first ever grow and am having another problem I am growing Thc Bomb. Auto feminized everything is going okay presumably I had a plant early on that showed signs of being a hermie so with advice of fellow members it got taken out and thrown in the bin , my
Other plant the one in the pics has been fine throughout the grow no problems and 2 days ago was fine I’ve taken it out today to water and seen those pollen sacks in various places all over her she’s in flower now and I don’t no what to do should I stick with her and everyday inspect her for pollen sacks and remove or get rid just frustrating as the time and money I’ve put into getting set up and constantly trying to learn Just feels like 2 steps forward 1 step back this plant has been faster than the others she’s bigger and gone into flower sooner do I persist or kill it off , you will see what I’ve currently plucked from her this afternoon
any feed back will be much appreciated thanks

It depends if its your only plant or not. If you have other plants its probably not worth the risk of pollenating all of them for the sake of sparing one. If its your only plant then having seeded bud is better than no bud at all IMO. Maybe you could find a place outside to let it finish by itself?

My two cents: The only way it's coming down is if I'm growing commercially or I'm providing medicine to someone. If it's for my lung's only; I'm doing just what you did. Pull off what male flowers you can and roll with it. If you get seed in your bud, it's not the end of the world. I'm old enough to remember back when you never got flower without seed...and it never stopped me or millions of others. It shouldn't stop you either. Good luck.

Classic hermie. We all been there. Like the above said, if it’s your only lady, keep it and harvest. It won’t be as big as it could have been, but better than nothing. Just get ready for a crap load of seeds. Also, if you plan to use that same area to grow again, either be extremely vigilant about pulling the sacs off, or make sure to clean that area with a light bleach water mix to prevent pollination on your next crop. Don’t wipe where you spray, just let the mixture air dry. Do this about 2-3 times. Wait 2-3 weeks before growing again. I learned this the hard way.

One other thing to watch for is bananas growing out of the buds themselves.

I had a Blueberry that just wouldn't stop producing bananas, I chopped it because I had other strains on the grow.

Too bad, it's a beautiful plant. Good luck!

Hi Kryptobud
I really would like to put in my
Garden just I live in a terraced house and neighbors either side would be able to see it , my garden is tiny and I don’t have a green house and living in the UK it would probably just die with the weather we have

Hi CannaCountry thanks for the sound advice that’s what my friend said to me he’s a lot and been doing this for years he said will still be good smoke just every couple of days check the plant over well and remove the sacks , only thing is it’s in the same tent as 3 others and I don’t want to risk getting them pollenated he said if I go over it fine and remove them in time it can be done then afterward bleach the tent and jet wash it inside and out and leave to hang dry and repeat do you think it’s worth leaving with 3 others ?
cheers damo

Hi Dontjudgme
thanks for the advice much appreciated my friend has said to go over the plant vigilant every 2 days and remove sacs as soon as I see them , she is with 3 others of my plants in the same tent another one is a suspected hermie but the other 2 are sound ? Do you think it’s worth the risk if I don’t kill it I will have to try get another light and ballast and it will be costly , main thing is can it be achieved if I’m thorough enough ? And yes I will do as you said bleach the whole lot and wait before using again

I wouldn’t risk leaving it in there. Life finds a way, and a pollen sac busting is gonna be extremely hard to prevent. The cons out weigh the pros by far. No worth having all plants turn.
