WELL, THIS IS GONNA HURT THE YIELD! 
Y'all remember Orient Express #1 that I said was gonna be a "monster"?
Well, I think I should have said she was gonna be a "Mister"!!!
And, this is no hermie, IMHO - this is a solid male!
I've never had that happen before with feminized seeds and, honestly, am pretty disappointed since this will significantly reduce the yield.
When I noticed this, I turned off the fans, snapped a few quick pics to post, and cut her down stalk-by-stalk as gently as possible. The trellis netting didn't make it easier!
Luckily, with today being day #8 of 12/12, we're still early enough into flower that it doesn't look like any pollen dropped, yet, and I was careful as hell not to be the one to be spreading the pollen as I took down the plant.
Just hoping I don't wind up with some "Bubba Express seeds" at the end of it all!
Since it's early enough into flower, I'm contemplating dropping one of the Dark Devil Autos where OE #1 used to be. I'd prefer to give the autos more than 12 hours of light, but I have a bunch of the DDA seeds and it may be worth putting it in just to fill the space back up.
It breaks my heart seeing that big empty spot in the canopy!
Happy Harvests!

Maybe throw in 2 of them ...
) but the rest of the tent should be harvested in about 60 days. Rather than running the 4' x 4' tent with one plant for 30 days, I'd just assume sacrafice the yield this round and get another five plants started in 60 days, or so. If I didn't have the trellis netting I could "stagger" in the plants, but even so, I'd rather keep them all on the same relative schedule.
, but I found an easy solution to my "down one plant" issue.
