Hey guys,

Been a while since I've been on here and I think I royally messed up! About two weeks into flower one of my plants was showing all female nodes other than one male pollen sac located on one of the lowest nodes. I think that I now have to throw away two plants cause they aren't budding normally - they look like a seed factory rather than filling in nicely. I tore one of the two affected plants out last night and the smoke was awful tasting, which I assume is the taste of seeds since we found one or two. We also assumed that since we could squish almost all seedlike shaped bud pieces that they must be callyxes and not seeds but I am not so sure any more.

Below are a few pictures of the two plants in question. Hopefully you can shed some light. Like I said, only one plant has ever shown any signs of being male and that was only at one node, but the other plant that I tore out was dropping dust like crazy from its huge cola any time it moved. It would be nice to know if that was pollen or trichromes, and why my other two Big Bud plants (maybe three of them) haven't shown any signs of misshapen buds or the like. Let me know what you think! Thanks!

Here's another plant that I am not sure if it's hermie or not because it hasn't filled in very well. It doesn't have the seedlike shaped buds so much as it is just small. It is a big bud strain same as the two next to it that look similar. Think I just locked it up and need to flush or something but here's the pic anyways and one of the whole setup.

Edit: Just read 85cannabliss's post. Thanks man! It's too bad that the hermies stole all the light and are healthier than my designer strain! 5 months for two/three plants...I gotta start minding the details again! I haven't had nearly as much luck with my subsequent crops as I had with my first and it's driving me nuts!

What is the longevity of FF liquid nutes? I've had mine for over a year now and am still using them but I gave my first crop more nutes than this one and they didn't burn nearly as bad.

Wow mang that's a seed factory. :eek: Don't toss them out just let them finish. Once they are done take out all the seed toss them in the trash and make some oil with everything else. ;)
