So i got a Hermie in my grow and decided to keep it...i put the plant alone in a diffrent tent and constantly checking for those nonpistils... Is that even a good idea or should i just cut her for safety?

tweezers.. pul them out carefully. if it is isolated, that's fine.. make sure you check the non-hermies first, then travel to the hermie area, so you don't crosscontaminate areas. Water makes pollin inviable.. not viable? lol... do clean the area thoroughly afterward.. little scrup down wtih h202 or soemthing. if you have a ton of buds.. might be best to cut it down.. is it getting in teh way of future harvests? consider things like that. i'd let context dictate. if you only see nanners in buds and not sacs with many nanners.. especially at nodes, then they don't pump out that much pollen, typically. Single nanners are missing a major production bit more times than not... they pump out a handful vs 100s or 1000s. You could end up wiht 2-3 seeds per 10 grams type idea. you see a sac start to open and a bunch of bananas fall out wiht a fully functioning anatomy behind it.. that's trouble.

@NobodyBuds is prob one of the most knowledgeable guys on here so I would listen to his advise. In my opinion If you got a lot of other plants going I wouldn’t risk cross contamination for 1 hermy plant, and like he said, it could give you a few seeds per gram and be ok, or it could go the other way and produce more male sacs and then your in tricky territory making sure you don’t cross pollinate your other girls. Just cut her down and utilize the space for new girls. Just my 2 cents. Cheers💨
