I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing hermaphroditism in your Mimosa x Orange Punch plants. It's frustrating when everything seems to be going well, but unexpected issues arise. Here are some steps you can take to try to prevent further hermaphroditism: 1. Genetic Consideration: Since you suspect that the seeds may be from the same 10-pack and you've already had multiple plants hermie, it's possible that there's a genetic predisposition to hermaphroditism in this batch of seeds. Consider sourcing seeds from a different breeder or batch in the future to avoid potential genetic issues. 2. Environmental Factors: Even though you've checked for light leaks and ensured optimal conditions, it's worth double-checking your grow environment for any potential stressors. Even minor fluctuations in temperature, humidity, or light intensity could stress the plants and trigger hermaphroditism. 3. Nutrient Management: Ensure that you're providing the correct balance of nutrients to your plants. Nutrient deficiencies or excesses can stress the plants and increase the likelihood of hermaphroditism. Stick to a consistent feeding schedule and monitor your plants closely for any signs of nutrient issues. 4. Pruning and Maintenance: Regularly inspect your plants for any signs of male flowers or hermaphroditic traits and remove them immediately to prevent pollination. Pay close attention to the areas where you've previously observed hermaphroditic traits and check them regularly. 5. Consider Stress Reduction Techniques: While you've mentioned that everything seems perfect, sometimes plants can still experience subtle stressors that are not immediately apparent. Consider implementing stress reduction techniques such as low-stress training (LST) or providing additional airflow to the canopy to minimize stress on the plants. 6. Monitor Closely: Keep a close eye on your remaining plants for any signs of hermaphroditism or stress. Early detection and intervention can help prevent pollination and minimize the impact on your harvest. Despite your best efforts, hermaphroditism can sometimes occur due to genetic factors or other unknown variables. If the issue persists despite your efforts, it may be necessary to consider starting fresh with new genetics to avoid further problems. I hope these tips help you salvage the rest of your crop and prevent further hermaphroditism. Good luck, and I hope your remaining plants continue to flower beautifully!

Du kannst jetzt nichts mehr tun. Entferne alle Herm - Pflanzen und achte weiterhin auf alles. Wenn schon Pollen raus sind ist alles zu spät. Mann kann auch die Buds waschen und Live-Rosin pressen, auch mir Seeds Es tut weh aber die Samen Packs werden automatisch befüllt darum must du keine Sorgen haben das deine Packung nun Shitty ist. Dieser Strain ist etwas sensibel. Bei mir hatte der Bud nur durch ein kleines Licht der Co² Uhr Bananaz gehabt. So früh wie bei dir ist Schmerzhaft. Leider kann ich dir keine erfreulichen Worte schreiben.

Lots of misconceptions out there on hermies. Buds pushing some bananas are not hermies. A true hermie shows male and female parts, most often you'll see flowers up top and a bunch of balls on the lower branches. Wish you included photos, 4 hermies is a lot for a small grow unless you're working with some pretty trash genetics. At work we might find 4 in a whole 4000 plant run lol.

Sometimes a cannabis strain will simply hermie no matter the environmental conditions are it's from poor breeding practices when making feminized seeds. At the very least you would expect seed companies to test their varieties for this well before releasing them to the unwitting public 😡 I had a whole pack of seeds from a Fairly well known breeder Greenhouse seeds turn hermie 1 week after the flip to flower. At first I was told it was my fault and that I must have caused it somehow. But several other growers that recieved the same seeds all had them turn hermie as well. I was vindicated in knowing I did nothing to cause it and will not grow thier seeds again because of it .

As others have said, if it was not stress induced then it in genetics. If you let the hermie pollinate your females, the seeds from the pollinated females will be feminized seeds. If it's in the genetics, the seeds will carry the hermie trait but the first generation will have a low chance of being hermie. If you see the nanners early on, they can be picked off the plant before they pollinate others so you don't have to kill the whole plant.

Si todo estaba perfecto. El hermafrodismo está en los genes de su planta. Sólo resta seguir esperando y ver si alguna puede llegar al final de floración.
