Before I panic I feel i must share the situation with you lot so I know how much of a problem I have...im 99% sure what I found today on one of my plants was a developing seed. It looked like a ball which was larger than all the other calyxes , it was growing on the bud but seemed to stand out from everything else. So i pulled it off, and sadly when squeezed it was quite hard inside , it opened up to be what looked like the makings of a seed (some white hard mini-bone typed shit). Now the next part of the problem is the fact that upon looking through my plants, theres not a male bannana to be found...and no other seeds . I havent entered any grow rooms so this leads me to believe a hermie is amongst us. I'm worried about leaving the plant i found the seed on in the tent (I'm assuming this is the hermie and just hiding it genitalia with its huge buds) , I was hoping to chop everything down monday coming , which means around 6 more days, which MAY be stretched to 10 days if im not satisfied with calyx swelling. However, do i leave this plant in there to carry on? or do i take it down early ? or do i take it out the tent and put it somewhere else for a few days (no other light source)? The thing is , I dont wanna jeapordise yield and potency because the risk of a few seeds in some bud. But then i dont wanna ruin my whole crop and turn my 3 months growing into a seedfest by leaving the stupid hermie plant in with the others. ANY HELP is appreciated, I would post pictures but I removed the seed before thinking of consulting you guys :/ but to be honest there aint a doubt about whether it was a seed or not(unless theres any other circular things that grow on a plant which feel slightly hard when squeezed) , it's more about me knowing what to do with the plant NOW. Many thanks in advance PS. i'll be checking frantically for more seeds and bananas soon as the lights come on , and will update you with my findings. PS** Just had a new revelation, the thought process that hit me was = IF the hard ball I found indeed was a seed it would mean that somehow male bannanas were/are present in my grow and that the damage they could do now would be miniscule because it has resulted it only ONE visible seed, and probably no more. Hmmmm ? Anyone have a clue as to how long after pollination seeds appear? -justathought
i wouldn't worry about it this close to flower. really nothing you can do. so you have a hermie with a few seeds. you'll still end up with a lot of good smoke! just hope there aren't too many beans in there, and trash em!
