Hey, i have three plants growing indoors. They are all close to each other and one of them looks like its becoming hermophroditic(sp?). Should i just kill it off now to prevent contamination of my other crops? or simply pick off its balls and continue w/ my 3 plants. i am 9 days into flowing and i have begun to notice tiny pollen sacks. But there are also hairs and buds forming on each node. My other have only pistils growing and buds forming. let me know
please help!

I say, remove the hermie unless its just a couple balls then pluck them off and watch it like a hawk.

Agreed, isolate the hermie - it may stop producing balls once you pull them off as they develop.
You may save the hermie but you certainly don't want to risk the others.

found one last night among my 4 ..........so spewing.............but reverse i have seen work wonders........no b.s...ive grown alot ......and got it down to par...pretty much a science.....and ive had hermaphradites b4 that have jus dropped the seeds a few days after spraying..no bullshit.....as long as u follow the guide lines ....we had females around and they were fine..no seed at all..no femanized seeds...the seeds dropped of three days afterwoods and they were already hermaphradites b4 spraying anything..and i didnt start them on it....but u have alot of work to do ..its possible tho........i was up all night.......gettn the small sac's off.....for the balls \seeds..take me a pin to them fuckers.,...super fd up...but my other 3 look beautifull.....3rd week of flowering......i know i bn using reverse for a bit now.......seen it work wonders......while others swear its fulla shit....it does neutralize the pollen tho...that fertalize ur females.....

in my personal opinion...u should use reverse........and also i have found that potash+ works hand in hand with it ...it steralizes the pollen and in my experience (several grows now)each tym it has made the plant go back to full female form........and hasnt infected the others by sexing them........so give it a try......by the way usge is 40 mills full strength id suggest u use nothing less.......of da reverse ..right now i had hemries that are fully fledged females again....with valvas and pistols.........it deff does the trick imo....sum majic right there...but works best with potash for sum strange reason.......dont ask me why....my insight into it is that the potash+ helps it retain its female form as it gives it femanine hormones to it..but thats just my take.......anyhow give it a try and let me know how u go...k:leaf: blaze on:weed:

i think that also the reverse kills off the male phenotype.........or male hormones by a unique blend of chems...not thatd itd b too hard to do on ya own....id justy preffer to use the reverse as both a preventative mesure and as a catlylist also.......if needed......but dont go lesss than 4o mills.......trust me........i had one fail that wasnt gettn the right doseage........out of all of em.....spewing........but i hadnt given that potash + as well......
