It's a hermie... Now what??

Cut it down immediately... pretty sure today was first day of showing balls. Bubblegum strand with about a month of flowering to go 3x3 scrog and she was beautiful. The power went out a few days ago and I was very worried this would happen.

My question is this..since I got to it this early will it have already pollinated my other plants in my 4x4 grow tent?? When do hermies begin producing pollen? The other plants were pretty close to it but they are only 14 days old 12/12 from sew, so still pretty small, I do not believe they were touched by it.

Like + Reps!!

buy dutch master's reverse and penatrator

Already cut it down..That was my first thought but it's not readily available around here.. would've taken days to mail it here and didn't want to risk my other plants =/

Yes i pinched one and took it off to make sure there was a tiny baby seed inside... did I screw myself??

Do I need to bleach the inside of my tent? will all of my plants be hermie from now on? =(

Male flowers don't produce seeds, they produce pollen. You were looking for something that will never exist.

It's possible you may have seeds. Has nothing to do with hermies.

It turned hermie.. Not sure if they were tiny seeds... but they surely looked like it... either way picking off one of them off probably spread a buttload of pollen everywhere right?

It was orginally a seed from my bubblegum plant.. I only had one seed from a 6ft tall plant so I did some reading and most people said it would be a female... however some did warn it may be hermie...

not sure if the power outage had much to do with it now that I think of it.

So can anyone help me?? I've never had a hermie before.

Will all my future plants turn hermie from this incident??

I just bleached the tent just in case... lol any other precautions anyone can recommend??

Your other plants should be fine, doesn't sound like you let it go long enough to cause cross-pollination....keep an eye on them anyways. The power outage had everything to do with it. Interrupting light cycles during flowering will cause plants to self-pollinate. Don't ask me how or why, my best guess is it triggers some chemical self-preservation thing. Too bad you couldn't separate the plant, your resulting seeds would have been close to 90% female. I've done it intentionally as an inexpensive means of feminizing.

TY Sunbiz!! Very good info I will try this next time.

I think youre fine man. I dont think it had produced any pollen.
and if it did you would have seen yellow shit everywhere

Shitttttttt ... Seriously?? Now I feel like a retard.

Lol yea man, Pollen cant be missed
