Hey all, today's the begining of week 5 of flower and I noticed this seed pod looking deal on one of my buds earlier. Any advice on removing it? I don't intend on trashing the plant as this is my first grow and one of two plants.

Pluck it off with tweezers right into a cup of water. Watch for more.

Cool thanks, I plucked it and one more I found on the next node down.
Will keep my eyes on it, not sure what might've caused this (no abnormalities in schedule) so im thinking genetics, fingers crossed

Hey Lock , if the male sacs continue , i would suggest killing the plant ...theres a great chance that the one hermi plant will blow pollen on the other flowering plant and you'll end up with two seeded , not so great plants to harvest
one good flowering plant is a no brainer compared to the alternative

Hopefully it doesn't come to that, I'll keep pulling sacks as I see them and keep a close eye on her. Maybe I'll be lucky and won't have anymore lol gotta think positive

Yeah I'm with ya there, too much excitement has gone into this plant to chop her down haha. Both sacs were on the very bottom branch of the plant so maybe they will be contained to one area if they continue, hopefully lol

Ye my last round another plant hermed and pollinated another little bit too. Sacks were bottom branches but had pretty many of them still when i grind bud there could be only 0-2 seed but more lower buds got more but still im happy and personal use so no matter. Potency, smell, taste all is there still but maybe there can be little decrease ofc but i like and enjoy it with my girlfriend.

Well last night I thought I found another pollen sack so I plucked it off with tweezers right before lights out. It did not come off anything like the other two and I think I plucked a swollen female calyx, it was forming under the bud already forming will that bud site be okay still?

Think I found some nanners last night. I've had my eye on these about a week but last night was the first time I could clearly see a split prompting me to remove

3 for 1 deal haha

Idk bro, from my experience, it's the pods you DON'T see that will fertilize the good
plant and it would be all for nothing...I'd chuck it!

Yeah I see what you mean for sure.
if I were in a more 'serious' situation I would but this is my first grow for fun and learning so I'm gonna just finish her out and try to control the herming as much as possible, if possible lol
