I am a couple days behind on my post...nonetheless everything is looking solid. One thing I am concerned with is the sex. I have not seen any sign of male/female and they are starting to get a little big for my space factoring in the flower growth. I have read it is stressful to force flower before identifying the sex...any advice?? I am trying to be patient...
I found a hermie plant that definitely released some pollen, maybe 1-2 sacs. What should I do? Keep em growing to get the seeds?? Hope for the best??? I feel this garden is a bust now...
You can do both ! Keep them or cut them but keep in mind that if you don't wanna cut them you'll have to monitor those polen sacs each days until harvest ! 👍
I would cull the hermied buds, specially if it is only 1 or 2 and then continue to grow the rest, while keeping an eye out for possible future hermies.
Bummer. This message is coming late in the game, but if you wish to limit pollen affecting the other plants, you should spray them with water. This kills the pollen dead and prevents pollen spreading elsewhere. I would do as Michka says, remove this plant from the others. Good luck.
@Mr_Positivo, So it would be alright to force flower with the photoperiod and not have any stress? I read something about it causing Hermies if you don’t have any preflowers showing...thanks man!
Hermie pollen is sad news, and your harvest will likely be compromised. But it’s not a total bust. You’ll get some good weed, learned a bunch, and had some fun. I also had fun with your diary, so thanks.
As soon as I heard your strain’s name possible hybrids came to mind
Cross Milk & Cookies with Northern Lights = Santa Claus
Milk & Cookies + NY Diesel = Martha Stewart
M & C + Big Bud = Cookie Monster
@SEAKGROWER Hi there! Some of them are looking small to me, but it depends on the day number. If your pictures are from the end of week #2, they're small. If your pictures are from the beginning of week #2, that's fine! I think you can lower down your apex/light distance and increase your relative humidity. Happy growing! 👊
@Stick, thanks for the reply! The photos are at the beginning of the week. The photos would be Day 14 from transplanting. With that being said, do you think I should do the lowering of the lights?
Don't worry about stressing your plants in veg. Some advanced growers use root bound stress to trigger pre flowers in order to determine sex of plant early.
You could do the same.
I love the color of your leaves. Similar to mine. Must be an Exotic Genetic's cookie thingy.
Your girls are looking solid in a Frankie Adams (the Expanse) kind of way. ;-)
I am pulling up a chair.

Nice looking leaves. You're doing really well. The quality of your harvest would benefit from topping next run. More branches= bigger bush= more yield. Cheers.
@seakgrower. I agree to our growdoctor. Its not too bad to have a male plant and maybe your girls are "pregnant". when i started to grow (looong looong time ago) it was quite normal to have pollinated girls. Because its easy not to see a male in a bunch of girls. and most time i was glad to have seeds. we grow our own Hybrid and they were very good and robust to our climate. The thc was not so high but ok.For me its just 6 years that i bought seeds for the first time and growing sensemillasfrom feminised seeds
BUUUUT...... they are not so robust and fit to my climatezone as the others. I got to try to get some seeds of the "old PfälzerLandgras"
