question about polinated female

so I noticed that my female flower started having male clusters I removed as many as I could but of course I might have missed some, today I actually noticed a few seeds but they are still green and getting developed, so this is what's a pollinated female is?
near that plant there's a 100% sensimilia with no clusters balls or seeds, should I get it away from the pollinated female?

thank's alot!

You have a hermie. removing the male clusters will do you no good. There's stuff you can buy to paint on the balls to sterilise them, but IMO this is no good as you'll never find all the balls.

If you have good ventilation in your area there's a good chance that the rest of the plants may get pollenated by the hermie plant.

i did. picked em all off and have had no problem since. it happened when it was in the first week of flower RIGHT before it got bushy thank god.

kochab may be right, I don't have many many seeds that may be cause I removed allot of male clusters when I noticed them.
thanks!

but you still have seeds... meaning your yield will also be down. If you guys want to go pulling balls off a hermie plant and leaving it in the flowering area that's up to you... but male balls can and do grow back. Just in case anyone else is thinking of listening to this CRAZY advice.

Skunk, you have to remember , some of us only grow a few plants at a time. Losing one really hurts and we will try anything to get our bud from the grow. Sure it will cut on the yeild, but we wont loose it all.

just got 8 wet oz from my room and its been hanging for 3 days. not a single seed from the others in the room or the hermie plant

you got any pic's? Also of the hermie?

I've been looking into hermaphrodites quite a lot recently, as this coincides with the argument against 24/0 in veg'.

A natural hermaphrodite will carry both sets of chromosomes in equal amounts. Which is why they will show signs of both sex at around similar stages of development. As they carry both sets, this means they will continue to produce both male and female flowers throughout the budding cycle.

Although, it is my belief that all female cannabis plants are hermaphrodites to some degree. An adaptability built into the plant through evolution to ensure the survival of the species. All cannabis plants contain both chromosomes... I believe that these levels will vary from plant to plant in almost what you might call a predetermined way. Or maybe, stress levels (the worst one being not getting pollenated) are what lead to the weaker chromosome gaining ground on the female one.

Cannabis plants merely have the predisposition to be one sex or the other... and that with female plants this means they all have the potential to hermie when given an amount of stress through unpollenation and environmental factors.

As your plant must have been what we call a 'natural' hermie, any pic's you can find will be of great help to me.

Maybe, as the plant flowers the female chromosome ages and weakens... and depending on the level of male chromosome in the plant they will hermie at a certain stage of development. maybe for most plants this is right at the end, after the female chromosome has died?

But then this makes no sense for regeneration... as cannabis plants can be harvested more than once... where would the female chromosome come from if it was weakened or dead?

circles.

mine was DEFFINATLY from stress. my partner and i put that bitch through hell for 30days or so before we had the money to get proper lights for our room, and we moved her from outside to in. onto a t12 2 bulb fixture

Get rid of it: Preferably chopped up and added to the compost.

if you allow the female to get pollinated would the smoke be that bad???

Once a female is pollinated, it focuses its energy into producing seeds. The result is less potent bud. The effect wouldn't be bad, just diluted.

I'm not sure about the loss to potency... certainly there is a slight loss to yield, but I'm not sure potency is affected.

If indeed thc laden trich's are a deterrant against animals, then it stands to reason that cannabis once pollinated, would react by creating even more potency.

Of course, this makes a difference if the cannabinoids was first created by the plant as an attractant. To which, I feel, there is also good argument to support.

Still, a seeded plant losing potency is very open to debate.

i cut the plant a mont ago and have found about 15 seeds in an ounce and 3/4.

It's a matter of opinion based on (subjective) empirical knowledge. Less yield makes sense as well.

lmfaoo it seems like i asked a good question i think i'll make this a new question a new thread

male is a dominent gene lol but if it is a hermie doesent the male show first thus killing the females before they bud i know you picked all the balls of did this stunt your plant at all pic's would be cool not that i think your lieing just wondering. and did the balls show first?
