It can happen regardless, part of why finding a reliable breeder who really puts the time into stabilizing their genetics. From what I have read and learned from well seasoned and intelligent growers, when you feminized a plant you are using some sort of material like colloidal silver or similar substance to induce a hormonal change. Said change makes them produce both sex organs on the plant with pollen that is female only. So essentially you are cloning to seed. That hormonal change may get imprinted in them then I think is how it works so the same thing will happen to the seeds they produce. No scientist, just my best recall of why that is prevelant to happen with Feminized seeds. Hope thats close enough to help.

I have had issues with herms lately I have Murphy’s Law luck so something can go wrong. Usually does the first time I had a humidifier in the tent that had a blue light shining on the bottom of the plant then I had a light leak coming from underneath my door that shined through the cord hole and shine light on the bottom of a different plant so most of my times have come from Having a light leak that is just my experience

[budwinjones]

It’s almost always light stress/leaks, or environmental for me. When I push temps past 88f or see massive swings in daytime/nighttime temps, I start seeing herms. Couple that with fluctuating humidity and your twigs get berries.

Intersex traits are genetic and never your fault. Better to know asap than to get fucked later.

I’m with Mystro toss that bitch in a fire pit quick! Cataloging seeds is totally different animal than pollen and unless you’re set up for it there’s no need in it. As far as a dehumidifier in a 3 x 3 tent, that’s just looking for trouble. You didn’t mention any type of ventilation proper airflow is important for a successful crop. Good luck and keep growing

[melonfarmer]

Just curious, what’s wrong with have a dehuey in a 3×3?

[Sir Coughs A Lot]

Let me guess you have a 3 x 3 with a dehumidifier in it?

[Sir Coughs A Lot]

[Sir Coughs A Lot]

Had this one in my 12 x 40 and it gave off mad heat. Now I’m running a standalone AC with a dehumidifier in it so I guess you could go that route but in a 3 x 3 you can see how much space it’ll take up. I guess they do make smaller ones

[melonfarmer]

I did, I’ve upgraded to a 4×4 now. I do have some trouble with heat over summer, but even with constant exhausting I couldn’t keep up with the humidity. Now that it’s cooler in the southern hemisphere I only exhaust when the heat gets to a certain level. So I really rely on the dehumidifier over the winter months.

[melonfarmer]

You can see it in the corner here. It’s smaller than yours and my canopy usually spreads out over the top of it, no worries.

ex-wife wouldn’t let me grow so once she was gone, I had a huge basement to go apeshit in. And boy did I ever. It took me A couple of months to clean everything out paint and get new carpet just so I could sell the house. New wife is cool with it but she did make me downsize.

[melonfarmer]

That’s awesome. Talk about silver linings. I’m in a similar situation actually but not going to get the house. Maybe I’ll buy one with a basement.

[James Rupp]

I get the sense alot of breeders are turning and churning genetics to make a quick buck instead of testing and confirming good genetics. Hermaphoditic traits have become very dominant in today’s strains. Which is a shame

[melonfarmer]

How far through are you? I say toss it too, unless you’re in the last few weeks.

The enviroment spikes back and forth are a great chance at cause. Even if a little higher level, consistancy is better. 90F is pushing as well. Imagine you change personality with every building you enter. Thats basically what you have caused towards the plant. Get rid of it before pollen. Pollen can destroy all around, and not cleaned right will affect next round. Its all parts of learning. In a 3×3 focus more on the room the tents in, compared to inside the tent. Make that room what you need, keep airflow through tent, and it will stabilize out. To small of space to isolate an enviroment if outside isnt attended to as well.

[SlamFM]

A gamble you take with feminized seeds. A lot were breed using two females, one given a substance to make it grow male flowers. Surely that gets written into the plant at some capacity and passed on.

[tdags4]

Found this yesterday 1 out of 3 plants (fem seeds) day 30 it is the only pollen sac I found and it hadn’t open yet so I’m risking it and letting it go. Obviously going to keep a close eye on it and slay it if I see any more.

[Thickems]

The pistols will look brown and burnt up once they take pollen. Reminds me of a singed hair, all shrunk and deformed.

[obiwankentoki]

So I moved it to my veg tent that has an auto flower in it that is not flowering yet. Set the light schedule to 12 12 and I’m letting it grow. I’ve picked all of the sacs off as soon as I see them. So I may be kind of okay but who knows. I could have pollinated my entire grow. Hopefully not.

Any advice on how to clean the tents to remove any residual pollen?

Some pics of the grow. Do you see evidence of pollenation.

[Thickems]

Plants dont really look affected. Might come across a small white seed here or there but i think thats low chance. Rollin fattys has explained great on cleaning. At minimum crank a humidifier, and do a good wipe down i hear. Any fans or such that can blow air on the next plant as well clean. Dont want any stray pollen affecting next grow.
