I just don't see how anyone can positively declare the sex from just those photos. The 2 plants I just tossed because they were male looked more female than that.

I can and do and you tossed females not herms or males if they showed pistils.

You need to discuss not enforce or im questioning why we have different facts here... :-)

pistils means it's a female...what it will do in the next couple of weeks decides whether it's all female, or if there is a

Yea, looks

hes asking if his plants are hermie. The pictures of the top of a branch don’t say much as balls can pop up anywhere. The pistils in the pic don’t help to answer the question. I expected to see pistils before I even looked at the pic. Is their balls? No way to tell by the pics

then how the hell would anyone know till it actually throws some balls? anyone who develops a method to tell what plant will herm before it does will be a pothead god....

Exactly, how the hell would anyone know? How the hell would someone know from a picture of a single branch tip? Would need to see closeups of every single bud site at multiple angles to tell him if it’s hermy. You tell me how the hell someone else can tell him it isn’t a hermie? You tell me why you’re not asking them how the hell they can make that judgement. Ask them. That’s the real question

You can’t tell jack by a picture of a branch tip so not sure why you play make believe like this. It’s very silly. Lol

I can’t see all of it. Kind of blurry. I see some pistils and some leaves. What do you see, and furthermore, what are you considering a hermie?

A hermie is anything that carries both functional reproductive parts... That's what it is, not what I "consider" it is.

I see a very healthy plant just finishing up stretch. Look at the small growth tips and the top just finishing off.

It's preflowering... As a female.

How many plants do you grow? How many tops? How many bud sites? You really want OP to take all those pics? The lighting is fine.

In conclusion, there are no indications that this is a hermie, no stress signs suggesting it will try to herm. Genetics could play a factor, sure. However, if it were male, it would have shown before those pistils and the pics would be quite different, I'm sure. OP seems fairly competent by growing ability to overlook balls anywhere.

There you go again telling me you know it isn’t a hermie by a picture of a branch tip. From the records, I know what a hermie is. Thought you guys may be confused as to how it all works. A perfectly healthy plant can have all,pistils at branch tip and be loaded with balls lower. Like I said before, you’d need a pic of every single bud site from many angles to tell. No indication in a picture of a branch tip. As for the rest of the plant..who knows. That’s reality. Open up and swallow it. Lol

he asked if that plant looked like a hermie...it does not, at this point in time. any plant looks like a "potential" anything....it could grow feet and start dancing, but i doubt it....that plant could grow big furry balls, but i doubt it....he asked a question, i answered it as best i could...if we have to start making every possible extrapolation, posts are going to get a lot longer
and most of them are too long, already

So you want the OP to post pics of ALL the bud sites and nodes?

He asked if he plants were hermie. The correct answer is “I don’t know”. Lol. That’s all I’m saying

Yes. If you’re going to ask the question you should post a pic of every single bud site from atleast 4 different angles. Perhaps make a YouTube video to slowly go over every millimeter of the plant so we can watch it on slow playback. That’s my suggestion to the op.

Because i dont class hermie as a thing i class it as an explination of somthing we see and therefore no marijuana plant can attain this independant classification.

No science institute has managed to find the genetics responsible for it so if were splitting hairs technically no one can as such say they are right or id like to see your research and lab to verify it is capable of that and not speculation.

But im here to discuss debate and bounce ideas around, my opening post may suggest an ego challenge with you but its really just how we are in the UK....

Really i like these open ended subjects - we cant see breeding patters, all strains can do it, stress is one major trigger especially in early and late flower....

What is your interpretation? Happy to hear ideas :-)
