sup everyone
So I think I have a potential hermie/nanner coming out, not sure, my question is...should I keep it?

I want to produce more seeds. Should I keep it to pollinate my other females?
I’m also close to harvest with my other two females

the two that are almost ready are
Northern skunk
White cookies —not sure what week I’m in
Here are pics of the 2 that are ready soon



what should I do?


And this is the potential hermie

The ones that are almost ready, I can see some amber, some cloudy and some clear, as far as trichome production

I would say no, don't use it to make seeds. If it already made a few, no worries, you can try them but be very suspect of a future hermie.

Some strains will throw a nanner or two at the end of the cycle, that may be what you have. Wet your fingers and pull it off. Water neutralizes pollen. Then harvest it soon.

If you have a month left, you can expect it to drop more pollen and likely from places you don't notice. So, you're going to have some seeds if you don't pull it. Is it possible to set up a place to isolate it but finish out the grow?

You will likely get herms from the seed, at minimum, the plant will have the genetic possibility to herm. But I've run some herm bagged and found a couple winners. Bt you do need to be extra watchful if you plant them.

If you can, check that you don't have any light leaks in your tent, in the area of the plant that is having the problem. Sometimes environment can bring out those traits.

I can separate them...just trying to figure out some environmental kinks for optimal growth

In the room they are in now, there are two other females and they are good, so I’m guessing traits like you said or possibly from my soil being too hot?? Since it’s super soil.

I guess I’ll go move her and just keep her separate
Thanks for the info
