Found a male, kill 15 plants now?

I put my plants into flower about 3 weeks ago. Some how I missed a male and it is a cola of balls now, I removed it.

I have 14 plants 3 weeks into flowering, are they history?, they have the white hairs coming out of the bud sites already... Also my 3 dirt plants in the same room are 2 weeks away from finish, probably packed with seed now.

Should I bother finishing those 14 or pull them and start over? 2 of those plants are special, I will have to reveg them...

no need to kill the plants. at the worst you'll have some fertilized buds with seeds. but 3 weeks is still early and you may not have pollinated at all. definitely keep going.

ride the wave

Thanks bro I think I will leave it at your advice because I don't know how I could bring myself to take them down..

Edit: gave +rep to both of you, thanks for fast reply

Sorry to hear about the hermie, I wish you good luck.

After looking at my plants again very carefully I see nothing young turning brown. My almost mature dirt plants still have new white hairs coming out everywhere. I never seen any balls opened, I think I might be ok.

your good bro and worst case is u got some custom strain seeds

that male will only polinate your females if those balls open...sounds like you caught it before that happened ...in which case youll be just fine...as for the hermies dont kill them,pull all the male parts off with your fingers and dont let any balls open....and she might even revert back to full female....good luck

thanks guys

Actually I had 2 hermies in my dirt plants, one grew 4 balls low branches then never another ball. The other grew a few then stopped. 3 weeks ago she grew more, plucked them all out. Then she popped a set at almost the top node, cut her ass down and I am smoking her while I typed this message. I feel shitty for chopping her 2 weeks early, but she scared me.

if she hermied on you that far into flowering your doing something to cause some serious stress to your plants

Actually this particular plant almost died at 4 weeks from the exhaust tube falling and porting into the room. Then again my exhaust shut off and she had hours of heat, all 4 plants were leaning bad. A bit embarrassing but now my grow room is right and she almost fully recovered. Just for s & g here's the plants

3: Beautiful full female, 2 feet tall .... Severely stunted? Different Pheno? pfft dunno
4: Beautiful, full female, 3 feet
5: Showed 4 balls only, 4 feet tall, incredible bud sizes!
6: Hermie, 3 feet at cut down, < 1/2 ounce taken, if that airy buds. stoney as hell

Now I have 14 plants in there in aero too
Private Reserve OG, Fucking Budha OG, G13 "somthing" and the rest Strawberry Cough. All the strawberry is from seed, so I am trying to keep everything perfect I want a nice sack. This is all for personal, I want to cure some real nice.

With pics this time. Dirt plants showed sex 12/27, aero few weeks ago for most, days for some.

check them over.. if the hairs have receded already and the alot of the calyx's are starting to look like fat hard seeds then don't bother.. if they are still white or just continuing to die off.. then your cool.. check them out.. if they are partially seeded they will finish producing the seeds and continue budding(it will take a bit longer).. I had it happen to me.. I have a hermie that fucked up the plants around it.. the were only partially seeded and continued to bud..

as long as they aren't hermies themselves... if they are, then might stop bud production...

Yeah I am pollinated some, not a lot. I will have some seeds for emergencies.

I think you are right my one hermie that went back to full female looks like she isn't growing, I am just waiting for her to finish now.. Just another week or two, I have been saying that for awhile now.. LOL

Nice plants bro. I would suggest next time to lollipop your plants if you grow them similar to this soil grow. The lower airer buds aren't considered as nice as nugs from colas. When your growing next time, remove the lower weaker stems and leaves that usually get filtered light. The plant in turn puts its budding energy into the cola(s). Im considering toping my next grow at least twice.

I will give it a shot with a couple of them on my next run to see what they do being lolipopped thanks bro.

Just because you have some seed does not mean you cannot have a potent finished product. I got back from BC 2 weeks ago and I got a half ounce of Skunk that had about a dozen seeds in it(some viable, some not so much). It was still really damn good pot.
