Lil Help

I noticed a couple of banannas on a few of my super skunks last week. then a few days later I saw some on my white berrys. Now i think I see em on my trainwrecks!

I used clones from the same mothers as my last crop and had no problems with the first one.

There was a time the power went out an hour before it should have shut off and so it was off for an hour then came back on for an hour. Is that enough to make 12 plants herm out?

Possibly after the first time I am just seing things so if anyone has any pics i could see for examples.

I keep snippin em as soon as i see em but will i be alright or is my whole batch gone to shit.

Oh ya im almost into week 7 so if i did get a lil pollen on em could a seed even form in just 2 weeks?

If they just recently appeared your still in good shape, I don't think that it is all that uncommon for females to go hermie in the last couple weeks of flowering because they have not been pollinated by a male and is kind of like a last ditch effort to produce seeds, I have had this on plants before and they turned out great with no seeds. However I would save the male flowers in a baggie because if the pollen is viable it will produce seeds that are 100% female if used to pollinate the buds of a future grow. I wouldn't worry about a few male flowers

I already found a couple seeds poppin out of my trainwreck wich turned out to be the most infested of all. The others dont look too bad.

My question now is do I trust clones from those mothers again and chalk it up to lighting/environment fuckups. Or do I start over from seed for new mothers? :sad:

I would start with all new mothers because if the plants that are flowering right now have male tendencies the clones will also have the same tendencies

the ones flowerin now are clones. The mothers were from fem seed so thats probly a key player in this. But since i wasnt prepared for this im gonna flower the mothers and start new ones to avoid any down time.

really it depends on how seedy this batch turns out. If its loaded then fuck it why go thru with another round

sounds like a good plan, I have heard of problems with feminized seeds before. happy growing

i had some herms in week 4 and used dutch masters reverse and it seems to have worked.. the little pollen sacks mutated and spit hairs, or just died off..

Interesting, never heard of it, kind like the opposite of that gerbalic acid used to create male flowers??

yeah i guess its used in commercial watermelon and cucumber grows.. or anything seedless for that mater.. looks like purple cool aid.. mix with the penetrator

hmm. tell me more of this dutch master reverse? can i use it as a preventative measure or do they gotta be confirmed as hermies first?
