Take a few more pics but ya, that’s looking sack like.

Search the plant for other possible sacks and take pics. Better safe than sorry. 😔

I will again at lights on. I have only found a few more when I was looking around last night. I'll grab pics of as many as I can.

I'd hold off for a sec just to confirm sac presence.

I'm with you. Gonna give her a couple more days to see if it throws out some pistils. There are a couple more spots I need to keep an eye on.

From what I'm seeing, male preflowers are a lot more rounded off than females, leading me to believe it's not a pollen sac. But, I can see spots on the plant with obviously female preflowers and they seem to be sparkly already. The one in question doesn't have any sparkle to it.
 
Here it is tonight vs. a similar growth found elsewhere. See it's got the lighter green and same structure but it's opening up with some hairs.20230813_191436.jpg20230813_184430.jpg

God dammit bro 😤 😫

Its gonna be a pain but you can pluck them off and continue on.
In my recent experience they should stop popping up around day 21-28.

Dont get discouraged tho, cause my last run were all herms and they were some of the best smoke ive had recently

Yeah I've smoked my share of seedy buds. Some were great, like you said. These nugs are frosty as hell already so I'm still pumped, but it's gonna be nearly impossible to find them all in time. I have to have close to a hundred budsites...

I would try to confirm there are no light leaks into the tent with lights off. If that proves correct I would consider those seeds to have a genetic defect and I would suggest not running them again. Some genetics inherently have genetic defects. I will never run anything with Gelato #33 in the strain. Been almost. burned and flat out burned by that strain.

Have you eliminated your light leaks with lights off. This is a common problem with tents in a living space.

It definitely is a pain because they only take a few days to pop out and open. 95% of the ones i had were only on lower buds, i only had 5 or 7 towards the top.

Yeah no light leaks, its just the breeder.... should've never bought them after the shit Moe went through with the guy.

These seeds came from NASC's $2 menu. Humboldt County's phenohunter line. I assume they're all random phenotypes and they're looking for that special one. It's Jungle Cake crossed with Wedding Tree.

I'm pretty sure no leaks. The tent is in a 5x8 room. There are some controls that have put of a bit of light but not much. I taped over all the two light's in the tent. Light's off after I leave for work. I'll try to pop in there just before lights on tomorrow.

Could it be from the insane amount of tucking she went through? I've been so careful with the light leakage and I've read it takes quite a bit of leaking.

Naw. Tucking shouldn't stress them enough to herm.

Mine were from Trustfall at like 15 dollars a seed...
All the clones hermed too but not nearly as bad as the plants from seed.
Only one that hasnt hermed so far is the peanut butter breath x cindarella man.
 
Anthem275 said:
That is why I run almost everything as clones. I know the outcome
Click to expand...
Yep. Seeds are great and all but most of my time growing has been through clones. Removes the gender issue and you can get straight to flowering those beauties!!

I like having a mother room as it opens up the chance for doing a perpetual grow where I don't have to worry if there is enough plant material in the tent to satisfy the Smoke Monster(My GF! 🤣 )

The light leak can actually be a lot less than you think to give you problems and spectrum can cause it easier as well.
 
Anthem275 said:
Sorry but yes. Knew a guy that had an extension cord in the tent with a red led to let you know there was power at the end and that caused it. Red is the worst for causing hermies.

Gotcha. Lights off red. I have tape on the heater and humidifier lights. Only indicator lights in the tent. I'll jump in there just before lights on tomorrow evening to double check.

I purchased a inkbird humidity controller and this is what they are. I never used mine but woundered if it should be a concern

In your big ass room @smoke, maybe not. After spending 2 hours plucking nuts off my plant, I'd avoid ANY friggin lights in the grow space, though.

@Anthem275 mentioned the red spectrum. Maybe he'll pop back in and give you a legitimate answer. I have no knowledge on the topic and fugged my plant up, so don't listen to me 🤣

If you stand in tent with lights off can you see any light penetration coming through?
Second thought you might not have room to get in there and check
