#4 is wrong

Well thats what i had, i just saw hermies twice and no seeds, each time 1 or 2 pollen sacs were hidden and i saw them at harvest. So maybe i just got lucky

That was really helpful I have it outside and like u said I pick the sacs everyday and I sprayed the plant with a light mist of water cuz I heard water will sort stop the pollen if u spray it but it's right under the sun it look good so far I had to remove it I did stress every detail but at first what it could've been after some thought was I didn't check the ph cuz I didn't have any way too for the first 15 or 16 days so that could be the problem cuz I know there's no light leak and temp has been really easy for me to control and I have a nice way to bring in fresh air cuz it sounds like I stressed them another mistake I made was I use the master feeding schedule from roots and soul synthetics but like a idiot I read it wrong and the first dose I ever gave them was measured wrong and I gave them to much almost double in some of the products I should've eased in I jus got teaspoons and tablespoons confused honestly a high mistake lmao but it definitely sounds like I stressed it from what u say and that all sounds like good info

I got two of those on my first grow, brought them both out of grow room and put them in the kitchen with some cfls above to finish flower. And i removed the sacs everyday, at harvest i found out that one sac was hidden under the buds but no seeds anyway.
I did some studies about it since and these are the facts that might intrest you:
1.Hermies are either caused by poor genetics or cheap femming technics, or by environmental shocks(temp, nute mostly N, PH issues, growing medium size and temp, hst...)
2.not all of the same strain plants show this reaction, some stay female even in close to death situations
3.bushy low height plants are more prone to becoming hermies.
4.most of stress caused hermies pollen are inhert and wont seed up your plants.
5.genetical hermies normally grow sacs on different nods and female and male part apparition sites are seperated. Shock hermies grow sacs among female flowers.

Dont worry, when you stress too much and try to control everything in first grow some details slip your mind, thats what experience is for
You will get better with every grow.
Good luck

It's taken me some time cuz I was mad but I thought about and I forgot some of the mistakes I made cuz my plants looked good so I jus got on like a cruise control mode big mistake

Dont worry, wont affect much on your yield, and a good story to tell later
Misting might cause bod rot, and wont have much effect unless you keep it always wet which will ensure bod rot!
Chill out bro, how can you grow something relaxing when you stress?
Good luck

@MikeS3411 I have seen at least 2 different folks that are straight up experts tell you that it was nothing you did. You got a bad bean, end of story. Stop stressing thinking that it is something you did. All of the things mentioned above are really talking about photoperiod plants, none of those factors really will cause and auto to hermie. From everything I know if an auto hermies on you at this point and you bought it from a reputable breeder then you just happen to get a "handicapped" offspring with the genetic mutation to turn hermaphrodite, I have not seen any cases that I am aware of where someone's external factors causing an autoflowering cannabis plant to turn hermie. So quit stressing and thinking it is something you did, your plants look amazing and you are doing a great job now stop thinkin about that hermie, do what you can to keep the nuts off of it and keep it outside, other that that stop worrying that it is something you did and that it will happen again. You can grow for the next 10 years and probably not get another auto hermie, put it in your rearview and move on trust me it will help your grow, at this point you are dwelling on something that is A in the past and B not something that you caused. Ok rant over

@derek420colorado That's the type of person I am though anything I have ever done I have always studied and obsessed over anything I do that's why I am successful at many different things I'm hard on my self I expect perfection I know it doesn't always happen but I never like to blame mishaps or failures on things that are out of my hands I know that's probably what happened and it was something I couldn't control but it's hard to change that mindstate that's all it is and I'm jus searching and thinking as a person who is new to something

@MikeS3411 I am the exact same way my friend, I am as OCD as they come about growing ganj. But there is a point in which you have to know that some things are out of your control and to let them go, good thing is that you can still go OCD on it outside lol. Plucking off those sacks is just another thing to do with your plants everyday

You're right I'm kinda glad it happened better now so I learn from it i appreciate your advice and it's not like I never believed u jus looking for answers you obviously know your stuff and autos in particular its hard to know who to listen too so many ppl give conflicting advice or you here a lot of different thing in this industry I'm actually really curious to see what the plant is gonna do outside and if I'll be able to get all those sacs it's a bushy plant and those little motherfuckers hide well

 

[derek420colorado]

Yeah no I didn't think you didn't believe me I knew what it was, I promise man I am the exact same way when it comes to growing. That is one of the reasons I like doing it is because I can control EVERYTHINGGGGG hahahah well almost everything. I have only had a couple plants hermie on me but I always used it as an opportunity to further my breeding projects. Collect the pollen bro and get you a seed set, trust me it is the most rewarding thing I have ever done while growing
