i actually have a pack of flo f-5 and blueberry f5 on deck. now im scared!Politoed watch out killing plants that just put out banana's. I have hermies variations coming out my ass right now. I haven't killed a plant yet. The ones putting out banana's are not really making seeds. I did see one seed so far but most the buds don't have any from the looks. The plants do not make full male flowers only the bananas. If I don't see male flowers I don't kill the plants. I did move one just to be sure. It never put out any full flowers just banana's.
My other hermies are partial hermies too. They only have flowers on the lowest buds on the branches. I have been trimming them off and the plant is still doing great. I have totally checked the plant for flowers in the colas and have found nothing. I will probably get a few seeds from the flowers I don't catch in time. So far everything looks good. I don't see many red hairs caused by it. The ones showing up are from normal maturing.
I have to say. The fact that I had places to move plants was a major factor. With no other options I may have had to kill one. Glad I didn't. The strain that has the hermies is a test for a seed breeder so I am trying to grow everything out I can. That kind of forced my hand to let things go. What I am finding is more degrees of hermies. These 2 types I can live with.
I can't say a plant just putting out banana's won't make any seeds. I have never seen more than one or 2 on any plant that had those hermie characteristics. Female seeds do it a lot. I have seen them on regular strains too. Much like the Flo F-5 did.
i said banana but it was a whole bunch last time. i found a fully formed male flower coming out of a calyx on one node. if i had less plants id probably keep her, but i dont want to risk seeding 18 autos and 50 photos for one hermie plant. the budlets look fine but its hard to justify examining one plant under a micrscope daily when i have way too many more plants to worry about. shes still alive in another room right now but probably not for long
