Girl, you got ALOT of reading ahead of you.
Just from reading your posts tells me that you are in over your head big time.
I am worried for you.
Now, don't get me wrong, it can be done and I applaud you for taking charge and giving it your all, but a little advice from the internet will not make you succeed in a grow of that scale.
I like a challenge, and this sounds like a challenge. So let's begin.
Let's talk Mother plants. You mentioned cystals on the Mothers...what do you mean by that? Did you take plants from the hermied Flower room and chop them down and place them back in the Veg room under 18 hours of light?
In any case, you would be better off going to BlueSky and getting a new Blue Dream Cut and starting a new Mom from that. Harborside has some great clone stock also.
Genetics is the first place to start. Ensure you have reputable clone stock, not from "dude" on craigslist or Budtrader
Lets talk about your light timers. What brand are they? Are they controlled by a trigger cord or are they Mechanical? You can just post up the brand/model.
Sometimes if a timer is triggered by a trigger cord, the cheap timer used to fire the trigger will go bad or just don't keep time correctly.
Flower room. My best advice is to empty it out and start over. I am sure you have folks looking at you to pull this off, so take charge and start over.
Wipe the walls and floors and light hoods with a light bleach solution to ensure all pollen is wiped out.
I would not worry about any pollen landing in your veg room, it will be dead by the time you are ready to flower again.
CO2. How is this being controlled? Do you run elevated temps and elevated PPM's in your nuit solution? If not, you are wasting your time and money.
In order to utilize CO2 properly, there are many things that need to be in order, or it will actually cause harm...great harm...to your grow.
What grow medium are you usuing? What Nuit regimine do you use?
I am down to help, as you posted one critical thing that I like and allways preach. You learn from your mistakes. Mistakes are common, folks learning from them are not. It sounds to me like you learn, and learn fast.
orangesunshine said:hello leanna---thanks for the pics---i was hoping to see more of the plants---anyway there is no doubt you will get different answers from anyone who responds to your questions on how you might deal with your issues---to answer some of your questions here's what i would do:
#1 i have heard of ductchmaster reverse, but would not use it because i am of the mind when you have a hermie it goes directly into the hash bucket---do not pass go do not collect 2 hundred dollars---any and all seeds from the plant are also trash
#2 pollen sacks release their pollen when they ripen and open just as a male plant would---only difference is your plant has female characteristics as well and it will seed itself
#3 any pollen in a grow is disappointing to me and i would not gamble on any type of filter to save the show---i say this because if you are going to spend all the time, money, and effort in a grow---why should it be anything less than your best effort---the chance of seeded weed is not a chance i am willing to take
#4 your vegging plants will not be pollenated---not totally sure on this if pre-flowers are present but, this is something i would bet on
#5 not sure i understand the question here
#6 seems you may have answered your own heart breaking question here---trash all the hermies they are not worth trying to save with bushmaster or otherwise---
how bout sharing some re-sized close-ups of the actual plants---nice to see you are in soil---call on me anytime---if i can't give you an answer---we can find it from someone else together cause i too am always looking to learn---green mojo for you---don't sweat the nay sayers they mean no harm just some paranoid stoners that don't like getting their chain pulled---glad you found us
