![]() We will also check for mites or insects, as well as molds, so we avoid the most common cannabis pests. What to do when we find hermaphrodite marijuana plants?Īs we mentioned before, it is very important to carefully check our plants for male flowers from the beginning of flowering. During the flowering period, these male flowers are easily observed due to their yellow colour and banana shape. Regular cannabis seeds are known for being less sensitive to hermaphroditism than feminized seeds, although this is not an axiom, we must carefully chech our plants for male flowers whatever the type of seed we are growing. Actually, if there are too many comments about the hermaphroditism of a specific strain, the breeder him/herself often withdraws it from the market. When you have to decide which marijuana strains to grow on your next crops, carefully read any comments from other growers on the chosen strains, as well as seedbank advices and recommendations on them, so you have all the information about these seeds and can better avoid those strains with hermaphrodite traits in their genepool. At the end of flowering, carefully check the trichomes so you don't miss the harvest deadline. In order to lower the chances to get hermaphrodite plants, you should: mantain good environmental conditions in your growing space, a perfect hygiene, regularly monitor your timers, check your plants for insects and mites, water them regularly with a balanced nutrient solution. Pruning and staking of the plants should be performed during their growth and/or pre-flowering stage (stretch), before the buds start developing. ![]() To avoid hermaphrodite marijuana plants, the main rule is avoiding any kind of stress during their flowering period, so we limit the risks as far as possible.
