Okay so im in week 4 of flowering and I noticed this in 1 out of my 6 female plants.
I think there was a light leak last night when I passed out in my room :(
Do I keep it in there or throw it out?

Is it safe to leave it in with the other females or will it pollinate the others?
It looks the same like this on the top of all the buds on the one plant.

I bought my blueberry seeds from marijuana-seeds.nl
I started with 8 and all of them germinated, 6 out of the 8 were females.
As I said I think it might be because i had a light leak

yes a Hermie will pollinate your females but on the upshot any seeds you get will be female that's how they make "feminized" seeds

Not safe, it will pollinate all of your plants. Looks like a nice strain. If possible you should move it to a location far from your girls and let it seed. It will still smoke pretty good and you'll have seeds.

dont get the seeds off the hermie(they will be hermie seeds) if the hermie polenates the other females they will be "female seeds".


just rip ur hermie, let it dry and hash it out, atleast give u something to smoke.... made some good hash last year from a hermie

the smoke will be fair and the seeds will have a chance of being hermie as well

cut the balls off and keep on growing
keep the seeds (sell them) lol but don't cut the balls off how'd you like it if your nuts got chopped off but i think if you cut them it'll cause stress making the smoke less potent you don't want that i'd cut em before harvest and then just keep an eye out for any other seeds

depends, ive had hermies show up at the start of flowering and by week 4 i could see the start of seed developement.

on the other hand ive had the same thing and seeds didnt start developing until the latter weeks..... maybe its down to stain, or maybe just luck or something???

Maybe I'm going blind... I don't see male pods on any of the three pics in this thread. A male (or hermie) is generally taller than a female, and the pollen pods hang in clusters. As far as I can see, the plants in the pics are female.

If you really DO have a hermie, I'd isolate it and one of the females for the seeds.

Right now Im putting it in a separate room, seeing what happens, I also pulled off the little banana things.

hmmm, making seeds takes alot more potency away than a lil tiny bit of stress earlier in flowering by chopping the bananas. what you should do with it depends on how bad it is, if its only 1-2 on the whole plant just cut the top part of bud they came from off and just go over your plant closely for a few weeks while making sure it gets no more light stress and it will be like it never happened. its not a genetic hermie its a male flower from stress, it doesnt mean your whole plant is gonna start throwing out male flowers no matter what.fix the problem and keep a close eye and your good.:bigjoint:

Alright thanks everyone for the input. Im going to chop off the bananas and see what happens in the next week, a lot better than having to chop the plant down.
