Help!
I have 7 plants in flower, day 39 of flowering.
Though I normally check closely each day for signs of hermies, my week was filled with visitors and crises. I didn't have time to be a careful guardian.
When I checked closely today, I saw that my Frosting had hermied, and is filled with immature seeds. Hundreds. No signs of seeds yet in any of the other plants. One more suspect frosting, though, that will bear close watching.
It took me nearly 2 hours to find the one single tiny little yellow flower, big as a sliver. And there are still no signs of balls anywhere. The flower was deep inside the bud, nearly impossible to find. I mashed a lot of bud trying to find it. No nanners, no balls, nothing showing overtly.
My question is this: Should I kill the hermie right now, or put it outside and cover it with a box for 12 hours each night and take it through to harvest? I moved it out of the room, and it's outside in the rain now. I spritzed down all the other plants with water, turned off the lights, put on the fan, waited for them all to dry before turning the lights back on them.
I'm very concerned, and pretty devastated right now. These 7 plants were my total medicine crop for the summer and fall. It's the only thing that allows me to have a life, and not be in a constant stupor. I don't handle the heavy pharmaceuticals very well, but vascular pain is just too intense to try to cope with, without cannabis.
Any suggestions on what I might do to maximize my chances of getting some half-way decent meds out of this grow? I just have no idea what to do!
Except cry, and I'm doing a good job of that.
Oh, and before anyone mentions it, no, I will NOT be keeping any of the seeds, and I do know that Hermies Beget Hermies. I was told the frosting had a tendency to hermie, but thought I'd be able to stay on top of it.
