How do you guys check for hermies? Everything is full and so small, im scared to overlook them.

Wicketstarted grow question a year ago

Im very scared of hermies and want to avoid them. When should i start looking for them? Week 3-4 of flower? Can't move my plants out because of Scrog and especially the plant in the left back is hard to get to, i can't open the side of my tent there. How do you check for hermies?

It's easy to keep an eye on hermaphrodites when you're doing a good pruning of the lower branches, as the male flowers tend to appear towards the bottom of the plant, at the base of the branches. So it's easy to watch or even to move a small camera with a pole underneath. I start watching from the 2nd week of flowering, as I keep a close eye on the general condition of my plants in the evenings and mornings. When this happens, it's around the 4th week for plants with a flowering period of around 8~10 weeks. At that point, you don't yet have huge buds, so it's still possible to unknit the branches and raise the netting, in order to work on the plants. But that's one of the reasons why I prefer to put only one plant per net when I go for ScrOG.

Im sorry guys, im sure everything will work out fine, i just want to give my best since this is the first run for me. Thank you all for your answer, i will keep an i out then in the upcoming 1-2 weeks and don't try to over do it. Just wanted to be sure and thought maybe someone has a great tip to easily spot them, since my eyes aren't the best and everything is so small :D

Also. This is one major reason I don’t scrog. I like to be able to move my plant and scout for pests, fungus, and intersex issues.

It’s not that big of a deal man.. I mean if the bud is for you, some seeds aren’t worth losing sleep over. As mentioned they develop low usually in the 2nd-4th week of flower in my experience. This whole doom and gloom about herms is ridiculous. Ppl act like it ruins a room, a male could.. but intersex plants rarely put out much pollen and it’s often sterile pollen at that

If i cant get close to plants i can tell around week 4-5 if bud production is slow like pistols brown early and stop growing had it once it did not pollinate everything else in my room either as there was no pollen just nanas and small buds as bud production slows really down

Firstly, no need to panic, never. From a lot seeds, i dont know exact, but lets say 500+ i had only once pure hermie and few times plants tried o polinate itself at end of flower. Check spots were plant branch out. In early stage thats most common and easy place to spot. In late flowering you can have bananas inside of bud or again branches crossroads , aka branching out , there you see single calyx ( if all good) or balls growing ...
