    Question Hermie problems

    Hi all,

    I have a plant that is supposed to be auto (i.e seed was purchased as an auto), I grew it outdoors, but compared to my others it was taking too long to flower, so I put it in my emergency growroom on 12x12 (I have a small room with weak lighting where I hide the plants if I go on holiday or have relatives around etc) After a week it started to flower, so I assumed it must be photoperiod. Since the lighting is weak in the growroom flower development was really slow, so I put her outside again, we had good sunshine and the flowers responded well. I suspected it might happen, and it did, she's got little balls growing on her now and I'm not sure what is my best option. I've heard you can snip the balls off, or even just let them grow with seeds. My concern is that if she's a photo then the flowering will stop altogether....

    Any ideas what I should do?

    Cheers, Zipede.
    Oh boy!

    Hi, so I'm far from a pro grower.. But in my experience those "balls" might just be those little balls at the stems that won't create seeds? Anyways, a few seeds here and there won't hurt too much I think

    What's the outside sun hours? I wouldn't replace her again, keep her outside.

    If you r plant has grown balls then you risk pollinating your whole grow. I had a hermie years ago and took advise to just remove the male flowers. Stupid move lost my whole grow an ended up with thousands of seeds
