grimdankness Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Sorry to make my first post here a negative one but as Ive been perusing these boards lately Id like to inform the members here that 2 out of 2 of my chocolate mint og have gone hermie! Running a couple different strains in the tent including a sugar breath from HSO and all good as far as the rest goes so im liable to think its genetic and not stress related. This is my first time encountering these issues as im a bit of a noob having only run HSO blue dream prior to this, was thinking to just keep plucking them off as they form as they are both at the front of the tent and quite accessable, only on day 25f as well. ah balls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Strange. Let us know more about your grow and we might be able to help (set up, nutes, lighting etc). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are quite immature looking seed pollen sac looking things, only singlular not like full clusters or anything and mostly on the lower branches, i opened one up under the tap and it appears they dont contain any pollen yet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limey Gas man Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) Shave those bitches legs and hope for the best (all you can do) .Day 25 bummer, they will more than likely produce further development. Pop some more seeds out the seedstash right away. The chem91 in the og has form for turning, would say the urkle is likely too. Cold medium and high feeds also can turn them ,along with radiation from heat stress from your reflector and light leaks. Best of luck buddy.

Let us know more about your grow and we might be able to help (set up, nutes, lighting etc). running 6 strains. 6 litre pots, coco coir, 600hps in a 1.2m. temps are good, no light leak, no nutrient burn or deficiency at any point, all strains are very happy in there homes. Thinking the trigger could have been my defoliation thru first two weeks of flower, was plucking a few leaves almost every day but the girls were looking happy throughout. As I said in my first post I feel it is very odd that out of a 5 strain run (sugar breath, phantom cookies domina, purple punch, peyote cookies, choco mint) and they are all fine except both the choc mint og expressing male parts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think i plucked a seed from some urkle I had a while back. Im aware they will probably come back but as I am able to get hands on every night if need be Im considering letting them keep going. Unfortunately I dont have a seperate tent to plop them in or a friend with the ability to take them on in a quarantined setup. Thanks for your comments mate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take them out and let the other gooduns absorb the lumens , leave them for 45 more days and they will be chunky and absorb the luminosity . That's what I would do , but it's up to you.

The stems have pretty much set solid at this point so I dont know how much I could utilise the extra space but I am definetely considering bagging and binning them.will sleep on it as Im a bit frazzled after this discovery right before bed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's up to you though mate.All the best . Edited January 2, 2020 by Limey Gas man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's up to you though mate.All the best . Im pretty confident I avoided any pollen contamination so far as the sacs were quite immature, all of them closed and very green. Im reading that there are some cases where a herm will produce male parts that are sterile and dont actually contain pollen, would be a shame to bin them in this case as the bit of choco mint ive had previously was very tasty Appreciate your comments mate and same to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I smoked a hermie it tasted like nutty plastic from those immature white pearls you find. I would say fuck that and bin those bitches. They probably changed the formula from the original selections. Big hyped strains can't keep up with the demand of the consumer, so the breeding guys are obtaining different genes to maintain their business.
