So yesterday, I noticed these little balls (photo #2) growing. I remember when I was younger hearing this could mean I have a hermaphrodite! I immediately took 2 of the balls I saw off and washed it down my sink. I didn’t do a thorough job because today, I saw two popped pods and pollen on one of the lower leaves. I used a clean wet rag to remove the pollen on the leaves. But I’m not sure if that will even help any…. I don’t see any banana appendages yet. I did switch the light (I have read that switching lights and stuff can stress a plant and maybe become a hermaphrodite but it’s not a big deal?). Either way, pollen did pop on at least my leaves. They don’t seem to have hit any buds but I also do realize pollen can spread a good distance. Either way I will finish off this plant and not try to end it early due to this. I’d still like to see what happens with my first plant. Even if they don’t produce any great buds….I’m still gonna grow it fully. I’m going to press the leaves at the end to create a nice piece to commemorate my first grow. Any knowledge of how serious this is would be appreciative.

How worried should I be with a possible hermaphrodite? Ive found a total of 4 pollen pods. ive wiped the leaves from 2 that opened n spread the pollen on sum lower leaves. I don’t see any banana appendages. Should I just keep watching n plucking the pods?

KILL IT KILL IT WITH FIRE haha sorry but yes you have a fine set of balls good sir get rid before that opens thats a one way stream of shite you dont want to deal with if that opens up your whole grow area is compromised for like a long time lol male pollen is microscopic like mould spores its very very very hard to get rid of in your grow area if it happens I would bleach down everything in there absoluitly everything even a needle if it was in the area clean it lol other wise bits of pollen can hang around and pollenate your next crop :) Advice for this not to happen again ? The number 1 cause of herms is light leaks. if there is any type of light getting in the area when the plants are asleep if the light is not green it will harm your plants and cause this best way is to sit in your area for about 15 mins in the dark and block any light you can see coming in or if you dont wanna do that do what i have done and replace the lights around your grow room to green lights green light is the only type that will not harm our ladies in the dark peroid so if the light is green and some light is getting it it wont matter :) wow my wrist hurts haha lol 👊

I wet trim, put in my hanger to dry for 4 to 6 days usually in a closet, in the dark, no fans and no humidity control. When the buds feel like they could be smoked, but really aren't ready yet., and the stems have a slight crack when you bend them, I put all the bud together into a box or cooler if you have one. You shut the lid until the buds become rehydrated. This usually takes 15 minutes to half an hour. This is called sweating. As soon as it feels wet again, you open the lid of the box or cooler and start drying it in the box or cooler. When the top starts to dry, bring the bottom to the top, and let that start to dry. Repeat this until all the bud reaches the dryness that you like, smokable at this point. Jar the weed and leave the jars open the first day. Then close the jars for a day. Open the next day to burp for a few hours. Check every day for a week to see whether they need to be burped. When you open the jars and they feel the same dryness as the day before, then it can be shut and stored in a dark place for up to 2 yrs. This is how most big growers dry their crops, and the only way I will do it. If you want to try different ways is alright as well. Just do this with a small portion of your harvest and see how the end product tastes. Try some the other ways and see how they taste. If you want the taste you get from quality smoke, my way takes out all the homegrown green taste. Always great tasting smoke and as soon as it is dried, it's smokable. Final cure in jar just adds to it. No homie smell after smoking....

@Rodamis_Prime,haha, yessir! Unfortunately, the indirect hwtr coil blew and it’s been rigged until we can afford a new one, so we can still get hot water without leaks. It’s good to have plumbers as friends.
