Herm in the scrog

I just found a hermie in my scrog. I guess this is a sad day for the whole tent as I'm assuming everything will get pollinated now. Correct?

Depends. If the male flower is mature and has opened and released pollen, yes you will find seeds everywhere. If the male flower is closed and has not released any pollen, you won't find seeds anywhere. If the plant in question has many male flowers growing on it, removing that plant may be the best option. If the plant only has a very few male flowers, you may be able to remove them as they appear and this will stop all pollination, but you must not miss even just one male flower, as even just one male flower can release enough pollen to produce many, many, many seeds. If your plants are not far from harvest, it may not be worth worrying about, as seeds take 2-3 weeks to grow to a noticeable/obseveable size and 4-6 weeks to get full sized and mature. Remember too, seeds produced with hermaphrodite pollen will have dominant genes for being hermaphrodites themselves. They will not be "feminized" and are virtually useless to grow or breed from, unless you are trying to develop a line of hermaphrodite plants!! Hope this helps, Organoman.

Hello your others plants are pollinated only if your bananas are yellow and if they are only open. If they are green for the moment it is not too late to cut them. An other technique is to spray water on the bananas to neutralize the pollen. Good luck. Bye

Cut it down before it develops and the sacks pop.

if you let it pop yes. it takes time for a pollen sac to mature. if you see no dust below and no yellow banana coming out you should be ok to carefully chop it out.
