This is the reason why I don’t grow seeds you grow the plants from 9 to 10 weeks first week of flowering you get pollen seeds! Cut them! Unless you cross pollinate with the female to make a new genetics. Other then that you’ll have seedy buds. Good luck to you!

I had a few strains, seedsman own seeds, that hermied on me

I tried both again and no hermy

It's a common thing with them, whoever makes THEIR seeds sucks at it...lol

I grow exclusively from seeds and have only ever had any herms from a couple of landrace seeds. As for Seedsman, I've grown several of their own branded seeds without any issues.

Mine where Dr seedsman and Critical Purple Kush in a group sponsored grow

I think if 20 people, 3 others had hermied

Love Seedsman, my go to seed guys, but...they have issues with their own seeds at times

I will say...I grew both 2x more and no issues

Wow!! I thought I was doing something wrong. I had a few herm on me from seedsman this past run. Herbie's was fine before so I may stick with them.

Thanks for all the feedback and advice, really appreciated.

I have been looking around and have come across something that is suppose to make your plants stay female and not herm and also knock a week off flowering time apparently so I’ve ordered some to see what it’s like, just wondering if anyone has used it or anything similar?

I wouldn't use any product that doesn't list the ingredients on the label.

"The Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) has reason to believe the products Optic Foliar AT-AK, Optic Foliar Overgro and Optic Foliar Switch, manufactured by Tulsi Enterprises Ltd., contain pesticide active ingredients not listed on the labels; salicylic acid in Optic Foliar AT-AK, salicylic acid and 3-indoleacetic acid in Optic Foliar Overgro, and ethephon in Optic Foliar Switch. ODA’s advisory is based on Washington State Department of Agriculture’s (WSDA) laboratory testing and confirmation of undeclared pesticide active ingredients. ODA is currently undergoing sampling and testing these products in Oregon.

Use of Optic Foliar AT-AK, Optic Foliar Overgro or Optic Foliar Switch could cause cannabis to fail Oregon Health Authority (OHA) pesticide testing requirements. Growers of all crops and retailers are advised to discontinue using or selling Optic Foliar AT-AK, Optic Foliar Overgro and Optic Foliar Switch until further notice."

looks like a herm. its not worth your time, chuck her and replace her, you'll be much happier without the headache

I’d cull them personally in that big of grow. Chance they’ll pop up again in the buds that you won’t notice

Having the same problem at the same time of flowering. It happens. Strain is from Exotic Genetix called Cocobamba, they were freebies. I'll just pluck them off and keep going.

Update, pistils popping out of the balls. Kind of confused but I dont believe mine are hermies now. Guess they were just calyxes.

yikes lol you do know you can have the same problem from clone

Well I have not run into that problem with cloning yet and I have not run into that problem with clones but I found out the majority is you get seeds you take a 50-50 gamble if they’re not feminized seeds
