Good Luck Rookies!!!!!

ok this is probably the most fun contest on the site!!!

Hey bro you can rip the hermaphrodite sacks off if it's not plastered and you catch em in time instead of sacrifice the whole thing. Hermie sacks will form near bottom of plant I you stressed it it anyway

@Dr_Nowzaradan, ormai purtroppo è troppo tardi! Devi fare attenzione a Non dargli sbalzi di luce e temp e scegliere delle buone genetiche!!! Buona fortuna! 🍀

@sir_isO, wow.. Thanks mate, you hopefully saved my remaining part of the harvest, she's going out of the tent and I'll let you know how the other two will evolve. I own you a couple of good Joints ✨

@Dr_Nowzaradan, Oh and yes, the "balls" kinda do disappear, they basically open up and wither, they're very airy, light things.

@Dr_Nowzaradan, Oh, sorry, missed your comment about not finding bananas. They're in the flowers. In the 5th pic it's very clear, the cola on the middle right front. I'll download the pic, draw a circle around it and link it, just hold on.

@Dr_Nowzaradan, Here (unless I'm mistaken, which is possible, but I've seen a lot of that shit). https://ibb.co/TqdtPRW That's what I mean with "stealth" hermi, sometimes it's even less obvious than that. So the thing is, plants can hermi in numerous ways, like either just ballsacks by the nodes, or ballsacks in the flowers, sometimes one whole half of the plant, or just a branch entirely different sex. Even combinations of all that shit. It's good that you know this stuff early, coz it'll save you grief. You always gotta look carefully, even if you can't find the pollensacks obviously, if you see lots of calyx fattening/inconsistency, and sudden browning of pistils...you should be concerned.

@Dr_Nowzaradan, Oh ffs, I posted a reply and then it vanished. So, to kinda get rid of the hermi traits (it's kinda gradual thing). What you do is, you grow some of those seeds and those that are proper females (you'll get some good ones), those you try pollinate then with a proper male. Preferably a different, but good male. That simple. The seeds you get then, will be pretty good. Basically, hermies are always a result of reproductive pressures (for whatever reason, stresses, genetic, environmental adaptation, growing longer without being pollinated, etc). For instance, if a plant is genetically "coded" because it grows in say, Thailand, where the atmosphere is very heavy, dense, very wet, dense foliage pollen doesn't travel as freely as it would elsewhere, so those plants then have a tendency to hermi because they don't get pollinated easily/often. You can counter that with pollination. That then kinda "updates" its genetic code so that it is less likely to hermi. Basic shit actually. It might seem a bit weird, but that's how it is.

@sir_isO, that's a good idea, actually I can't find any of those male Bananas on the seeded one(do they desapear after some time? I completely have no knowledge about it) , I'm reading around that they could be stress induced, if that's the case I could just let it grow and rescue some small buds, plus tons of good seeds to play with ✨ I'll keep researching now

@Dr_Nowzaradan, Yeah that's one thing with those sort of hermis, sometimes they don't get to pollinate much else, like self-restricting because of where/how the pollensacks grow. But hey, now you got a whole lot of "fodder" sort of seeds. You can fuck around to experiment and whatever with them, for whatever learning purposes, occasionally you'll get something good too.

@sir_isO I fell you:( I'm checking every inch of the other 2, bu for now it doesn't look that it did any damage, maybe it just self pollinated and it didn't spread out, I guess time will tell...

@Dr_Nowzaradan, I had the same shit like 2 months ago, stealth hermi pos. Ruined 1 plant next to it pretty much entirely, another was at least "ok". But holy shit it's annoying.

@sir_isO, hi thanks for the advice! I'll take care of this ASAP! 😅
