Isolating a Hermie?

    Yes I believe I have a hermie in my grow room. Ive seen a 1 seed pod , but have not seen the banana seeds yet(hopefully I want).

    My question is does any of you know a good way to isolate the hermie within the grow room so it will no pollinate the others?

    I thought of putting some wrap paper around the suspected hermie. Do you think this will do the job?

    BTW I have a small fan in the grow room but its facing away from the plants, which means it should not spread to the other plants.


    I put a pict up and let you be the judge if its a hermie........

    Thanks

    Well you have to have the male parts first before you can have a seed. So either you have some pollen sacks or "nanners" you haven't found or you may have false seed pods. Sometimes the calyxs will swell and give the appearance of containing a seed when in fact they don't. I had a Cinderella99 go lightly hermie on me and was able to pick off all the male parts with tweezers before they had pollinated anything and ended up with zero seeds. Other than picking the balls off or putting the hermie in a seperate area, I really don't see a practical way to keep the hermie from pollinating your other girls while it's still in the same area. Oh and any air movement at all is going to spread that pollen everywhere so your fan pointing away isn't going to help much.
