H Everyone,
I noticed these watering today. Is this Auto turning hermaphrodite and pollenating? I don’t see these in the other 3 plants in the tent. Do I need to pull it and harvest immediately?
Plant is approximately 9 weeks and was planning to let it go a few more weeks. It’s ff soil in a 5x5 under an hlg-600 light.
All it is going to do now is start producing seeds. Along with your other plants. You can keep running them but you’re going to have a whole ton of seeds. And be sure to clean EVERYTHING with peroxide at the end of it all.
Thanks, that’s what I thought. Just wanted confirmation. So I guess I just need to harvest what I can immediately? What if I just let them go, will it stop bud development and all bear seeds?
They’re going to put a lot of attention into making seeds with little effort on actual bud development. What you said is probably your best bet. Sorry for the herm crashing your party!
Sorry, that’s a both male and female. Blowing that pollen everywhere you’ll have some seeds, but I wouldn’t use them, you’ll end up with more plants like this one.
It’s usually a lighting issue, but autos have funky genes because of the ruderalis. I had one start making seeds about 3 weeks into flower, but stopped after a couple of weeks and they never developed. Ended up with like 5 half seeds at chop. Another that had 2 seeds out of 3oz. I’m still pretty fresh but I strongly believe the auto flower gene from the ruderalis causes it. Mine showed no signs of male flowers and there’s no males in the area. There’s a few topics here that are about other growers autos starting to make seeds without herming or any males.
I can relate to your situation. I just chopped 2 plants that were male. I caught them quick enough they hadn’t pollinated any of my other plants. Sorry for your inconvenience but Happy growing.
Def a herm, as community said. It happens, check to see if you have any stress factors in your tent. Even the on off indicator on plug strips. Best of luck
Did you have any stressful events during grow. Possibly went to long without watering, or extreme temperatures, even just for a few hours. Stress can cause a hermie, I had a plant that I allowed to get to dry, it hermied not long afterwards.
I think I just learned something right now thank you. I thought females are females and males are males. Now the hermaphrodite may happen with stress I wonder how many times I stressed my plants in a weekly basis lol
I know I bought all my seeds from I love growing marijuana and I can say 100% I may be newbie but, I got 10 out of 10 seeds not only to germinate but to produce bud.
I showed it to a good buddy of mine of 25 years that I grab marijuana from and he was in awe for an hour saying for my first time incredible. He knows I’m only going to do better. I said I got a lot of help from this website thank you everybody
