Why are they Hermie. Where are the seeds from? Light leaks?so found a female that self pollinated. cut that one and check everything all looked good till today. not i have another 4 that went that way as well. all of those have been pulled and cut,,, my question is one i think i know the answer to and that is should just go ahead and cut the entire room now as we're only talking about another 4-5 plants in their 5-6 week of flower. i would rather grab em early and avoid the seeds. thoughts and suggestions ?

Sounds like environment stress not genetics.that i do not know sir. the seeds are dutch passion females, i caught the 1st one and thought i had it in time but the next day the whole room was gone. i cut the room last night since i was 5-6 weeks hoping to keep the seeds to a min. the room was mixed with GMO, DP, AI etc.... bummed not defeated
Sounds like environment stress not genetics.
Any small light leaks or a controller, dehumidifier etc.?? It doesn’t take muchSounds like environment stress not genetics.
Spray water will kill pollenmy thoughts as well. time to recharge my soil and clean up what i have in veg. should i wipe the room down for pollen or would that have already evaporated out?
Scatter them around town flower beds. Courthouse,police station strip malls park...,....so what is everyone's thoughts one beans i will be collecting? toss em all or look for keepers? from what i can gather a DP self pollinated 1st and nothing else showed any signs. i removed the DP came home from my gig and whole room has em minus 2. i cut those anyway. so keep and label em and try em as i go and give em to my buddies or just chalk it up to a loss? on the up side everything was far enough along to get me stoned, i just loath the seeds...
i have some new timber lights landing tuesday so i'm gonna clean up the room and make some improvements here and there and then empty my veg tent.
as for the stress that caused the herm to occur. i think it's on me, and my poor feeding schedule. too wet then too dry etc etc. i found the fabric pots to be a problem with the bottoms staying wet etc. i have air pots now and i'm hoping they will help me along with a regular feeding cycle.
May I ask Why No Fems & Auto's? Saves me sooo much $$ in soil/mediums...I start in March with Gas Lantern Tech..TOO much effort to pull..ummImo the seeds might be prone to herm. Toss em and get regular seeds. Just say no to fems and auto

I agree with Growsince....no fems.
Why?
Well the biggest and only selling point of a feminized seed is the fact that you could save some time avoiding the selection of sex.
At the moment when they start to pop out herms or even full balled males then...thers no more reason to rape your wallet for em.
IME with fem seeds you gotta do exactly the same work of selection (thats the exact work that has not been done by your "trusted breeder")
not talking only about sexing but also talking about culling many weak ass aborts genetics that pop out of a batch.
Sure you could get lucky but when you start to play big games, the more fems you pop more problems....
Plus with Regs you can make your own crosses.
I got too many bad surpises with fems so for me is not worth the game anymore...
Op yes you should get rid of that plants also because some of the seed that you will get , they WILL carry the herm gene that will keep harassing you.
Its a pity because some of those herms have a very interesting terpene profile but.....better keep looking
good luck!
