Do i have a male problem

Magiczig · Dec 16, 2023

Hi all sorry I am new to growing and starting to think I have perhaps a male problem I have attached some pictures any advice please

Magic,

Sorry, your plant grew nuts.

Magiczig · Dec 16, 2023

May I ask what may have caused this I assume it has ruined the others as well ?

Magiczig · Dec 16, 2023

Oh dear lol

Oops. Seeds.

The most likely cause is genetics. You might try and sus an environmental reason, but finicky genetics = bad gentetics, so really the same issue. Ruined? Possibly. You will probably find seeds in your crop if you continue this grow. From my experience, early pollination can be less problematic compared to later pollination. Some strains will continue to flower ok post pollination and early seed developement will be easier to pick through than later pollination. You'll have trash beans buried in your nugs, but they will be developed. The crop could finish sooner, which isn't horrible considering.

If you don't have means to replace the plants quickly, it might be worthwhile to finish them. Minimally, it will be a good learning opportunity. I think you'll get some smoke out of it.

What seeds/strains are these grown from?

It's not a male problem. It's a herm, which has female and male parts. That pollen sac in the second pic has opened, so it's likely every plant in that area has been pollinated to some degree.

The seeds were gorilla zkittlez feminised
60% indica
40% saliva
My first ever grow gutted

Magiczig · Dec 16, 2023

They are 10 plants fairly close together so I guess they be all gone

I don't know if this is a factor, and I don't even know if your Gorilla Skittlez has GG4 as an ancestor, but GG4 has been mentioned as being herm-prone more than other strains...that's my sense, at least.

look at it this way, u wont have to buy any seeds for awhile, thats what im working on, some plant sex, lol...

it's a boy!

Magiczig · Dec 17, 2023

What,if some of them haven't turned into boys yet do I give some of the others a little while see what happens or will they definitely turn thanks

At least you can still smoke it. Back in the day all we had was seeded shit full of chemicals smuggled across the border in someone's gas tank. It'll be better than that.

There was a time (before I could just break down and get weed from the store) that I would have finished that grow. I would prolly re-rack tho with some quality seeds. i would also avoid that breeder. Some seeds are unstable and can be stressed into herming easily. Others won’t do it no matter how much stress you put them under. If they are putting seeds out there that are that unstable, I would grow someone else’s beans unless they were testers or something like that. Cheers

i have had the same happen with the same strain gz, id say genetics. i plucked the hermie sacs off mine and no seed what so ever. the bud where also kick ass, sometimes they have sterile pollen therefor they cant make seeds. i would at least wait see if they have pollenated anything. meanwhile i would pic the little pollen sacs off.

Magiczig · Dec 17, 2023

Thanks for a little Ray of hope
I culled 3 today that were bad and have 7 left I have examined the remaining and can't see any boys on them yet, but I am no expert and having trouble spotting them till it's obvious, but will keep checking and see what happens

Magiczig · Dec 22, 2023

Hi guys
Just wondering if I can have your thoughts on how theses are developing please.
They are 4 and half weeks into flower

Magiczig · Dec 22, 2023

plants are looking good should be fine worst case a few seeds, if every things in order, and you want Sensemilla i would try some stable genetics next time round.
