I think I might have hermied my plant. Their bagseed they started flowering 3 weeks ago . They show female with pistals all over bud sites but last night I saw some pods by the main stalk. I also notice my weatherstripping I use to block out light had fallen and I think the last few days there might have been some light come in while in 12 dark. So can this cause hermies or what also can I pluck the pods off and still keep going what should I do? Thanks in advance

its pretty early for it to hermie you can pluck the pods but they will keep coming back and you will get seeds but you can still smoke it just keep pluckin the pods and you will limit the amount of seeds you get good luck bro

It was probably a hermie out of the bag, so to speak. But a strong enough light leak could also cause it. Yep, if you are diligent about picking off male flowers, you can still get good bud out of it. If that's all you have, I say grow it out.

Yup.. those are hermie balls.

Just pluck 'em... I had some hermie balls at a couple points last grow -- they seeded a few buds, but no big deal. Actually was a plus cuz the weed came out great, and now I have about 100 seeds for another round. They seem to come in waves -- get a few, go awhile without seeing any, get some more. As long as the plant doesn't explode with 'em, you can keep up.

Whatever you do, don't listen to some people who freak out and say "you gotta pull those plants...NOW...!!!"

I just posted this in another thread;
If you have hermies or are worried about hermies pollinating your flowers you can try dutchmaster reverse. It works well but cannot stop seed production once the flower is pollinated. Reverse will however render pollen useless, just follow the directions on the bottle.

I tryed it out after reading a post by hobbes and it worked for me.
