Hermie: What's next?

[Mwood1087]

Hey yall so I'm pretty much confirming that the Somoa Kush from seed is a hermie. Yesterday when schwazzing I found a total of 5 pollen sacs. I'm just kind of curious what everyone would do in this situation. This is the ONLY plant that I'm currently growing. In my shoes, given that there is only 5 would you pull them and keep an eye out for more? Would you chalk the plant up as a loss and cut it down and start over? I know its prolly all personal preference but I'm just curious about the general consensus. I attached a couple pics of the sac as well as the current status of the plant. Lemme know what yall think I should do.

Are you sure that's a pollen sack and not just a calyx?...i vote keep her going and see since you don't have to worry about pollinating more plant

You sure they pollen sacks and not just swollen calyx's? True hermies are rare but do happen, usually they just throw out the nanners for pollen and not the male parts. If it's your only plant personally I would just finish it out but that just me and others may think different, I've never noticed a big difference in quality when I pollinated things on purpose (just have to pick out the seeds aka old school style), just that you lose more quantity with it focusing on making seeds.

That's the thing I havnt seen any nanners. And as far as I can tell they look like a single pollen sac. Theres no hairs or anything and the calyx's that are swollen are covered in trichomes. So I dunno. I pulled them all off as I went just to be safe but I'm kinda dumbfounded as to what I should do next.

Pretty sure it's just that single calyx that grows at the internodes.

Here's another pic from a branch not getting much light I cut...

Hard to tell for sure by pic but looks like a calyx to me, as the male parts have a small stem under the ball whereas the calyx will look like it grew out of the plant w/o a stem.

It kind of looks like a male preflower to me. Pluck one off n crack it open. If it's a male preflower there will be half a dozen yellow "nanners' inside that will later form into a flower. Female will have 2 white pistels.

I pulled one off earlier and it had like a liquid in it. Prolly just water but I didnt see any nanners. I'll keep an eye out for more and see what happens. It seems like the general consensus is just go with it?

Yeah keep an eye but I recon just go with it. If you really find there are more popping up andand opening. Pluck and mist . Hopefully they are just random calyx
