Found A Hermie In My Grow

So i found a clone ( 3ft) in flower with some balls she was in my flowering room. how do i know it didnt polinate the rest of my crop? Thank you!!

Were the balls close to the plant or hanging by a thin arm? If by the arm, are the bananas exposed and open, pointing down? If not, don't worry. Just get it out ASAP if you want to stay seed-free. Look for what a pollen sac looks like once it's opened. It's pretty distinct, so don't worry too much if they aren't spread open.

here is a pic of the sac i found on it, it only has 6 sacks. the whole top is still female. one sac looks like it has a crack in it. here are some pics. TY !!

I'd say you're in the clear. I actually had a plant that popped out pollen sacs that just fell off. Never had pollen or opened, just grew out and fell off. They do some weird things sometimes, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do I guess. GL with your little op

thank you does it look like a hermie to U?

also what if i flower it and cut off the balls if i flower it in my clone room? will it polinate clones? or my moms?

another way to tell if your other plants have been polinated is to watch the hairs. If the plant get polinated the hairs will turn brown prematurely. If you notice the side of a plant that was right next to it has hairs turning brown but the other side of the plant is all white hairs still and the ones further away have no brown hairs, then you might have a pregnant lady.

CRAP!!!!! so now i found a open pollin sac on my hermie!!!!! what do i do? i have 39 other girls 3 weeks into flower in my flowering room,,,,,,, Shit!! how can i tell if they got polinated?

what hairs? the pistil hairs? or the bud hairs ? TY sorry for all the questions this is my first grow

the white hairs on the buds will turn brown because it did it's job and now it can stop feeding that part and focus the energy on making seeds.

so i cut off hermies balls and let it continue to flower (seperatly) , harvested it yesterday and found no seeds so far

people get so worried about hermies, just cut off the balls and you wont have problems.

even if just one sac opened your still fine, its not like one sac opens and ur plants turn to fully pollenated brick weed, id guess one seed to every 1/4 of an oz and thats even if they got pollenated at all, and if your plants get pollenated by a hermie dnt u get feminized seeds?

Exactly
But if the sack has opened
U r gonna have some pollination
And my main consideration would b
As 2 what has caused it 2 hermi
And will the others follow
There is a reason why that plants has turned
Ie light leak,stress,genetics and so on
U need 2 find out what it is
Kill the 1 u pulled
And keep very close eye on the rest of ur girls

Also keep a very close eye the rs

G
I have lost a whole crop thinking everything would b ok
not only did I have a lot more seed that 1 every q ball
The weed was shit coz once its pollenated it only makes seed
So if u get pollenated a week 3 u've got 5 weeks of just seed growing
By the time u cut
A hermi in the garden is no laughing matter
And should b taken seriously

Oh and no the seeds r herms 2
I'm afraid

feminized seeds are just herm'd seeds with lower chances of actually herming out.

so i am almost at week 8 of flowering (almost harvest time) and my other girls (40) show no signs of seeds. but hermie was harvested and had no seeds he was pulled the second i found balls i pulled them off, and it grew outdoors till finish. and as for why it hermied out i still dont know. i have 30 sisters of hermie and they are all girls, so idk what happened to make one a hermie. deffinatly no light leaks. hermie was one of the biggest plants too lots of dense buds (aprox 1 1/2 oz when dry)

In the middle of losing some good weed because of them damn bag seed bananas. After I make every mistake possible, I might grow some great weed.

have u grown the seeds from a herm ?
I have and can assure u the seeds will b herm
I've had quite a lot of experience with them unfortunately
If u pollenate a fem with a herm
Ur gonna get a herm
I've pollenated a small part of a plant
Purely 2 see if the seeds would b herm
And guess what
all of the seeds I grew were herms
