DEACTIVATING MALE POLLEN

420marione Registered on Dec-09-2006 More User Info Message #43620 posted by 420marione (Info) January 11, 2007 09:41:39 ET I would ask to the experts if there is a way to deactivate male pollen and avoid seeds formation. I've just catched some seeds developing on my plants, the only hermies I've found where killed before the pollen sacks opened and that is happened on 20 december. Those plants seems 100% females but I'm not sure because the plants are in full flowering (7th week) and can't see any pollen sack. At the moment I'm taking down the seeds i find before they're developed and washed with rain water all plants. There is another things I can do ? What I should care for the next grow ?? Any substance that can deactivate male pollen in those situations ?? Thanks in advice ! Mario the Plumber ;)

The hermies i caught were took out and killed on 20 dec. before the little balls opened. Now, at the beginning of the 7th week of flowering of 4 plants I caught those seeds developing, I would understand why I have seeds now because of the 2 killed hermies OR I should suspect some pollen sacks developed on my flowering female plants, due to a bad genetics ? How many days needs to develope a seeds starting from impollination day ? Tnx again

This will not work after pollenation has occured though ..... and this type of thing is used when there is a male / hermie in the room you need to take out, and don't want to risk the spreading of the pollen. P.S. reasons for hermies : genetics, shock, uneven light cycles ( shock ), or just that all the ladies realize there where no gents present.
