Hey i was just coming to the end of my first grow with 2 female plants and 1 month into flowering and i have noticed pollen sacks on my best one the other is doing pretty shit its tiny with shit all buds but has no signs of pollen sacks i went in just before and touched one not knowing what it was and released a little pollen puff on me finger that will change the other one beside it wont it ?? i really need the bud of the plant but will they continue to grow or will growth go into seeds now ? ive put a pic in. i had a light leak under the door that is what would have caused it im fully pissed off and learnt the hard way about light leaks any pointers would be great thanks
the only thing u can do is seperate them b4 they are both contaminated. as for the one thats already hermi'ed, u can mist it w/ water (water destroys pollen), then try to cut the sacks off carefully not to spread pollen around, the misting will help, but youll have to check it 2 times a day to stay on top of it. it will seed if it was pollenated, but the buds will still grow, but the plant will start to put its energy into the seeds & less into the production of thc. if u cant seperate them, try putting some clear plastic sheets or something between the plants to help limit the amount of contamination, if u do this u might want to mist the plastic or whatever w/ water or rub or spray a cooking oil or spray butter or something simular so the pollen will stick to the sheet. mist your walls w/ water daily too to rid of any pollen. theres 1 plus to havin a hermi, if it gets seeded they will be female seeds. what strain is it.
its just bagseed im going to start cutting them off tomorrow is it true ill get all female seeds from it coz i read elsewere thats not true ?? also they have a fair bit of bud on them is it ok to spray them ?? thanks heaps for ya help dude
was also wondering if there is any type of spray i can get for them ?? i have seen a few at the hydro store that have sex change and so forth written on them would they work ??
if the plant is truely a hermi & it pollenated itself, then yes you got female seeds. i would only spray when & where nessary, just make sure when u mist u give them a chance to dry good b4 u mist again, just keep your eye out for mold or fungus & use a fine mist. no u cant change the sex, thats in the genitics, but u can make a female turn hermi with chemical sprays, but no male to female change, sorry. also if u want some good seeds for later, u got to let the plant grow to develope its seeds to matureity, or did u mean cutting the balls. u could harvest most of the plant leaving some smaller bud on it, to mature, so u get viable female seeds. the seeds need to be dark & some may be spotted, the light & green ones are no good.
sweet thanks dude yeah i meant cut the balls off they aint hard yet just little soft sacks ill spray the sack with water from my tank then cut em off that would be the best way to go dnt u think ?? so u cant change hermi to female ?? can u get a spray to stop the pollen sacks ?? i cant really put anything between them as in plastic and i think it would be to late for the other one anyway so ill just let them both grow out. how would i prepare the room for the next lot as in killing all the pollen the room is a bedroom thats carpated thanks again for ya help dude
spray the sacks & around them as well as the sissors & hands, when u do this make sure there are no fans on or any air flow, & try not to shake the plant at all, be like surgery. no u cant change a hermi to female, & i dont think there is a spray to stop the growth of pollen sacks. and to clean up the room, just take a light bleach & water solution, & spray & wipe off the walls, etc. for the celing id just spray it and take a broom to it. & just vacume the room like 2 times, but do this first, b/c it will be putting dust & possible pollen in air.
