There is a chance another defol may have to happen sooner than later.

So I have noticed about a dozen of these here and there. They r not everywhere by no means. I am starting to get a little worried they seem to b looking a lot like pollen sacks. Can anyone confirm??

This one was making me real nervous the way it was opening so I plucked it.
Yep those are pollen sacs, pull them off and hope they don’t come back.

K thanks for that I have cleaned them up. The ones I could see anyways the plants r out of control. I guess I will c how this plays out over the next few weeks before I kick mom to the curb. The people I get my seeds from have been great up until this year. Needless to say QC has gone downhill. I will not name shame but males now this FML. I just want one flawless RDWC run so I can start to push these plants to their potential
Seems a lot of seeds are shady these days.

Do u have any experience with this type of issue?? I do not I mean 0. I have only grown females and the males get tossed immediately. My question is if I miss a pollen sack or two will the buds fill with seed. I have been growing for years and never had this happen.
A few sacks can do a lot of damage
Especially if you have a lot of fans blowing
Ya better scower them, the one looked like it opened

But the pollen sacs on a hermie are not always potent so hopefully you dodge a bullet.

I hope so I have plucked another 5 tonight all of them were closed. I do not think they were new just missed in last nights plucking session. After another 2 hrs of searching through the plants I have absolutely 0 hope I have got them all. The plants r just to bushy. After u posted this I researched it a bit today at lunch and quite a few people get lucky and end up with no seeds. Not all but some. In saying that I generally have bad luck lol. The plants thank u @Pennywise for keeping them alive a little longer because 12 hrs ago I was on the fence with these ones. Now I have hope. I will keep plucking the pollen sacks as I find them and checking the nugs for seeds. Fingers crossed
A lot of times you’ll have an initial wave of pollen sacs then they’re done.

Do u think the mother will continue to give Hermies.??
Can’t say if it’s genetic or environment

K its all good. It makes me appreciate the strain I chopped earlier. Me and her have been together along time. She is good and stable
Hopefully she stops pushing them out.

Yes sir that would b nice. I am wondering if the stress from the defol last week triggered this. I felt it was a little heavy but the plants showed no signs of stress. These pollen sacks were not there last week when I defoled them. They showed up immediately after.
It’s possible, but I’m thinking it’s most likely genetic.

I am thinking so as well because with this batch in this room I have done everything possible to pamper them. It’s weird because I had no problems with grandma. The mother is very healthy and close to 7 months old. We’ll see how it plays out. Thanks for all the help
Should know in a couple of days if she’s going to push more sacs out. If not you should be good, remember to keep an eye on the lower branches. They get sneaky!
