Hi guys,
Hope someone can help :) I flipped some bag seed GG4 X GSC which have unfortunately put out a few seeds themselves. Nothing too bad, they're continuing to fatten up and are hella frosty, but i'm seeing a seed or so on every other cola they're at day 42 and maybe 2 weeks from chop, i've just started flushing them.
I've got two GMO's ready to flip and I want to put them in with the glookies now whilst they're finishing. I don't forsee the GMO's to have really started flowering after 14 days and expect them to be just finishing stretching when i come to chop the hermies - so how unadvisable is this? I don't see any naners so i don't see why there should be any pollen? And if they did put out any pollen would it have already happened by now?
Pretty long winded and thanks in advance :)

Re: mixing hermies and none hermies
Yes its not advisable, tbh iff theirs any viable pollen around well it may pollinate the newer plants. I take your point about no nanners, but its still a risk, that pollen stuff is like covid19 and their could possibly be a bit hanging around in the air. On a brighter note, if a very little bit did pollinate the plant in any area, then im pretty sure it would be just a few seeds or so and only in those areas pollinated and not the whole plant. When ive pollinated a certain area (small bud) once before on a flowering plant to make a few seeds it was only said area that grew seeds.

Re: mixing hermies and none hermies
Hello mate and thanks for the response. Will there have even been any pollen since it's a hermie? I thought (forgive my lack of knowledge), that when hermie'ing they just put seeds out? Bag seeds are bag seeds for a reason such as stress and pass their genetics down right?2-Scoops wrote: ↑Wed Nov 18, 2020 7:33 pmYes its not advisable, tbh iff theirs any viable pollen around well it may pollinate the newer plants.

Re: mixing hermies and none hermies
They still need to pollinate themselves so pollen is needed basically along lines Marcus has explained. I`m not a fan of your idea either i`d be getting them out of the room and cleaning it good style before adding more plantstreesurgeon wrote: ↑Wed Nov 18, 2020 9:53 pmHello mate and thanks for the response.

You may find a shed load more seeds inside buds when your chop and start smoking weed cus the dammage has been done inside plant by nanners that are covered in pollen
