If you had a herme actually open up and release pollen what do you have to do to decontaminate the a grow tent? I can just imagine little pollen grains forever blowing around like anthrax spores.
I don't think that will be a problem. I had pollen in my growing room and it didn't pollinize the next production.

A lot of misinformation. Seems like the OP was an enthusiastic newbie who skimmed a wikipedia entry or two, swiped a few pics off random grow sites and decided this gave him credibility enough to whip up a book report that would impress even newer newbies who wouldn't bother to do any research on their own.

no offense.
I've always believed if you are going to knock someone, then provide why, and what is right. Otherwise keep it to yourself. He's trying, your just tearing down, not very helpful.

If you have yet to see a pic of my work, than you didn't look. But if you would like to see how it is done, here you go: And yes, all of these plants had nanners. Most were down low in the scraps, but they were there none the less.
May I just ask you or anyone who may know, I've got a similar looking crop to yours nice looking heads but I've found seeds on the lower buds :(( I'm at the beginning of week 8 and normally do 9 weeks so I will take it down a week early I'm just wondering how fast will seeds spread up to my top buds or will the already be in there? Just in panic mode First time doing seeds 'ghs jack herer' and get this so il stick to cuttings!

Not to sound retarded. But, I actually wish my last plant hermed a bit. Don't know what the hell it was. But, the smoke was killa!

Wish I was thinking the same but I don't smoke I'm just all sell so just mega worried it's ruined, is it possible to easily pick out the seeds?

If you want your plant to herm, don't harvest and male flower will appear in very late flowering as a desperate try for the plant to produce seeds. The seeds will be feminized!!!!! Another extreme technic to herm your plant is to start the flowering for a month then switch it back to veg for another month. Finally, restart the flowering until the plant dies by itself. You will have hundreds of feminized seeds. Believe me, I did that by mistake but it isn't a waste after all ^^

Picking out the seeds can and usually is tricky. Mostly you don't notice them until you start to pick a bud apart. Other times there's just too many to remove.

Half my seed collection came from the random bags of smoke I've bought over the years. Most of those bags didn't have anything extra in them. But if the herbage was good. I consider those seeds a shiny little bonus.

-herming- so, if I trim the main colas to get the smoke I wanted. And just leave the larger bits of larfy. Will that still try to self pollinate. Or does it only work with the main buds?

Cheers for the help.
