Hey, who s experienced with hermies? She s the only plant I have now, dont wanna kill. I notice that she grows male parts until late veg, but new grow on the top on the plant, except first branches born, is female. I chopped male nodes, now she can grow new male parts?
Once a plant grows male flowers, it will continue on its genetic path of growing more and more, because it is a hermaphrodite.
This highlights the risk of growing "bag seed" as most "bag seed" is the results of hermaphrodites themselves, meaning any seeds produced this way will have a genetic dominance to being hermaphrodites. Far better to spend the money and buy quality feminised seeds from reputable breeders. Saving money by growing "bag seeds" will lead to far more expense by spending weeks growing hermaphroditic plants. Any male flower missed will have the potential to pollinated hundreds of seeds, so you must be very vigilant if you intend to keep this plant and will need to check every branch, node and flower thoroughly and every day for any male flowers or stamens growing within the female flowers if you want seedless flowers. Remember too, the pollen from these flowers will produce hermaphroditic seeds too, and will not be feminised. Just one missed flower has the potential to pollinate hundreds of calyxes. There is nothing you can give to your plant to stop more male flowers growing. Trying to mist your plants with water to "kill" any pollen released will not work either. Hand removal of every male flower/stamen is the only solution. Sometimes the amount of male flowers produced will increase to be in the hundreds, so be aware this may happen further down the track.
Sorry for the bad news, but I hope this helps,.........
Organoman.
Found another two lower nodes with ball and bananas, removed all... I hope they are the lasts ! I keep growing, this is soo interesting and flowers looks good!!
The "solo" first flowers are pollinated, I notice a small seed inside each one! Hope only there and not in the full bud! I ve removed early all male matters, I think! Stay connected!
ATAMI bloombastic is very strong, I notice some curved leafes and yellow tips. Breeder says 40-50 days flowering, now in day 43 I start flush, I hope to see more trichomes! Maybe some bud is pollinated by previous male herm flowers, but I don't care too much (it s too late to change something), can't wait to see the final result! Smell is reaaally good, old school sweet and pine aroma 😁
Day 47 flowering! Hi guys! The lady starts yellowing the leaves after flush, I m planning to harvest in 5 days! 80% pistils are orange.
Update day 51, aiaiaiai bananas incoming! Planning to harvest tomorrow!
Forced harvest @ day 53, nanners explotion! She s not full ready yet but I don't want seeds in my buds! I ll update after drying, I expect 50 grams final (final outcome 37g). So, I learned it s not a good idea growing bag seeds, but at the end the outcome is good enough if I thinking about the troubles I had! @ the end I discovered that growing Mary it s sooo easy, more than my flowers in balcony ahahahah, and it s absolutely possible with micro space/budget. My enviroment is a grow box 40x40x120cm with 2 China led cob lights very cheap! You can do this only learning from guides on the web and discovering other diaries in this beautiful site! I hope my diary will helpful for all the guys who, like me, looking to manage the hermie problems! So I already start my new cicle, Wappa and Bruce Banner #3 (this time no bag seeds!) stay tuned!
