Hey guys so I had some random plants I had in with my main girl (lemon skunk) and when I pulled the lemon I thought the randoms still had a few weeks to go as I got the seeds of a Mate that mainly smokes Bush bud (sativa) he couldn’t tell me where the seeds came from as he has had been collecting them for years. Now I put another lemon in there to keep my fav smoke going on about 3 weeks before I pulled the other and then about 1 and a half weeks after the mother lemon came out I notice seeds on one of the random so I flushed all of them for 3 days then pulled them all now almost every plant ended up with a few seeds not many BUT here is the thing iv got my lemon in there room going into week 5 and anther One that has only been in the for 1 week and iv just spotted that almost ever bud on the 5 week lemon has 1 or 2 seeds on it now wat should I do I have taking everything out and cleaned the room and put back in everything.

Would the seeds be ok?

Would that mean seeds would be lemon skunk x random ?

How long until seeds get mature if they the seeds are ok ?

Is the lemon in there that’s only been in there for a week worth keeping ??

Sounds like your ladies are all Hermes. Is there something wrong with lights or light leaking into room during dark period ? .
The seeds produced will again produce Hermes sadly. For it to be a whole batch of seeds,it has probably come from a Hermed plant originally. I would remove them all in case they leave any pollen in the environment. Could screw up lots of attempts if not cleaned out properly. Bag seeds and stuff are so unpredictable that clones from good genetics or seeds from reputable breeders is the safest and most tested way to cropping .
There are a sea of seeds for easy growing and their prices can be very cheap too. If posting or stealth is an issue , use a safe relative or friends address to get them delivered( if anyone wanted to follow the seeds they would draw a blank!) Saves a lot of wasted time and effort , not to mention the disappointment. Good luck mate

Thanks mate so none of the seeds would be good at all??
I have a clone room next to my main room will they be affected at all they are 2 completely different rooms but in 1 room 2 rooms in a garage.
I only have 1 clone in there witch iv had and cloned of it for the past 3 months and 3 clones that I’m still waiting on roots in my clone room?

So I should cut everything dimensions in the main room and completely wipe it down and start from scratch??

The room they Hermed in for sure. Be on safe side. Does sound more like a seed issue to be honest but as two diff strains then it could be environment issue somewhere.
What temps are they under ?
Is it pitch black with zero light leakage ( even from red/Orange power on lights from sockets/extensions!).
Have you had success in the room before under same circumstances ?
Do you have a grow journal running to view. Makes things easier and people can follow along if needed etc...

I have had really good succes when iv Horton clones or my own clones from the clones iv gotton it’s the first time iv grown from seeds. The lemon skunk I had in there I got 8.5 ounces from one plant and that’s clean dried cured for 2 weeks in jars.

Here’s a few pics of the lemon skunk I had in there all plants where in there all through flower like I said before it was only like a week or so after I spotted seed on the random plants and only got 1 seed from the lemon.

Temp is around 21.c to 25.c humity is around 49 % to 65% it’s hard to control where I live but this is the only time iv had a problem.

I’m going to cut down the plants in the room throw them away clean the whole room and put in my mother clone Nd hope it hasn’t got infected with pollen.

Hermis happen for a lot of reasons. All of them come down to overstressing the plant to a point where it honestly fears not being pollinated and then takes care of itself.

I have done it many ways and never with light leaks. Most of the time I know why because I am pushing things and can back off and stop it. Some times it is being stupid and having the lights took close for the ventilation.

There are many ways to over stress the plant. Advanced Nutrients sells a bottle that when overdosed causes all sorts of cool rapid response mechanisms. Some completely out of control.

But you can easily cause hermis in females with it.

Hermis...usually are heat or lights too close or chemical problems.

The chemical problems like over dosing a bloom enhancer are usually unrecoverable. The heat ones are easily rebounded from.

The way you tell the difference is where the seeds are. Chemical stress causes all flower to fail. Light stress causes the ones close to the light to fail.

You have likely gotten something in there that scared the plant... I know I sound crazy but it is true.

I brew up a concoction that convinces the plant it is being attacked by insects. This causes thick stalks, heavy resin even on the stems, thick heavy flowering...and if overdosed hermi. Every time...

See here is some sap on some popcorn. I grew this in hydro and attacked it hard weekly and it started oozing all over. About 2 weeks later I ran it too hard and it started to hermi and I had to back off.

Side note... light leaks cause hermi because the plant thinks a tree fell on it.

In nature if part of the plant is getting good light and part nothing it has been covered and likely wont get pollinated nor even last the cycle so the go hermi.

Those really are less common than people think and ussually people cause it chemically or with temps (which is a combo with humidity)

Thanks mate I think it’s light I went in there last night and a few times iv left my garage light on so I turned them on went in and yep light coming through the exurst fan and one of my timmers lights as well

Can sometimes be a simple fix. Hopefully this will now give you the full dark needed. Good luck.

 

[Rahthestoner]

Thanks for all your help I’m sure it will fix my problem.

My pleasure. Good luck.
