HELP! One of my Lemon Kush plants has definitely developed some pollen sacks as can be seen in the above pictures! Any advice? Or is it a euthanasia job? I think it was from being to hot, it's been heat wave recently so difficult to get temps below 29oC.

I have been growing that strain for 3 years. IT IS NOT YOU!!! It is the seeds. There is even a very small chance you will get an auto from their seeds. It hermies all the time, it's why I grow it all the time, I have 100s of seeds

Kill it with fire!! Seriously tho sorry to hear about that, You could always try a breeding session to get seeds for the future! But If you dont want seeds then take him out and do it yesterday lol

Normally I would recommend you to kill her , it is the best thing to do !! But if I were you ( but I'm not) , I would cut off those polene sacs right now and cntinue to check the plants every 2 days to remove eventual new sacs !! Hope it will help you for the best 😘

Kill it, no sense risking the whole run. Make sure you dont have light leaks, that is the most usual cause for hermaphroditism, not temperature.

Hi @Loyd_Growsman, sorry to say that but I would throw her away as soon as possible to prevent pollination. And be very careful when killing/throwing her, do it far from your other babies and wash your hands twice. 😐

That’s definitely a hermaphrodite. I’d pull it before it pollinates any others. Sorry 🙁

At around 2 weeks of age, can I remove the big leaves yet? It blocks alot, (i feel), and 2 of the bottom first ones got yellow spots in them, otherwise good green color and growth. Should I try to bend the very top more? The stem seems pretty stiff already, first early lst.

Too late to train?Just discovered this is not an autoflower and I should have topped, stress trained or tried some techniques to reduce height and increase yield. Is it too late now? Should I at least defoliate? Would you recommend I replant in a bigger pot? (dont want it to grow anymore)

Defoliating outdoor plants. Yes/no Do you guys defoliate outdoor plants? If yes how do you choose when is the right time to defoliate a flowering plant? Size of flowers, after stretch or maybe just few weeks after starting flowering phase? Thank for the info, I am trying to understand if I fucked it up 😬

defoliate during flowering I defoliated the girls a week before I flipped. Now they are on their first week 12/12 cycle. The bushyness has bounced back right up and it's touching each other. should I leave it till flowering day 21 or cut back now, but I'm worry it will stunt any growth?

Light penetration for inner defoliation?? Outdo High, y’all. This is Dark Star from T.H. Seeds. She’s a broad-leaved Indica 3 weeks into flower. Looking up into my plant I’m getting 15% light pen or so. Should I be shooting for a certain percentage or perhaps clean out a majority of the inner veg? 2nd year (legal) grower.

Defoliation/pruning at start of week 4?Is it too late to remove the lower fan leaves/side shoots when I’m going into week 4? She’s really dense and bushy and was hoping to thin her out. I should have been more aggressive at the beginning, but I wanted to see if I can still remove much material this late in the game.
