The grow of 3 autos in FFOF under 320w leds seemed to be going well. In week 3 of full flower and buds just starting to fill in and get very frosty and sticky. Well damned if I didn’t notice a few sacks developed on one plant....then to my horror, on all 3. See the pics
It is pretty widespread. I picked off as many as I could find but short of destroying my plants I couldn’t get them all.....because I’m sure there are quite a few tucked into the buds.
what are my chances for any salvageable harvest?? Honestly the growth on the buds has been great, but they are a minimum of 3 weeks away from being developed enough to consider “too early”.
Any advice??7F1BA253-D6A9-42E0-9D77-E01814E52B59.jpeg3A437A92-40C8-492D-80D6-C8812EA4BF91.jpeg7F1BA253-D6A9-42E0-9D77-E01814E52B59.jpeg3A437A92-40C8-492D-80D6-C8812EA4BF91.jpeg

I'm not seeing the nanners or ball sacks, those look like female flowers. If you want, feel free to circle what you believe is a nanner, and post the photo.

I’m not talking about nanners....I’m referring to the little sacks.
Hey I’m a total newbie and, clearly know very little....but from what I understand there’s a difference between a plant that turns hermie and one that has both sex traits.....but shit that doesn’t make any sense when I write it out.
Every source I have referenced showed those little “pollen sacks” as a sign of a female plant turning hermie....usually either genetic or from stress.
I hope like hell I’m wrong....because these plants are finally hitting their stride and the flowers are really filling in and looking great.

A cannabis plant that has both male and female parts is a hermaphrodite.

That is a female. What you are looking at is a calyx not a male part. You should learn about cannabis anatomy.

Sweet....I never miss an opportunity to show my ignorance.
That said, the info out there on many well known sites can be a little misleading on this particular topic. I stared at examples, one after another, of plants producing pollen sacs that closely resembled my plant’s growths....at least they did at the time.
And of course I think the worst, as these plants have faced some stress along the way.
So all’s well that ends well....and I’d like to thank everyone for taking the time to chime in. I appreciate the clarification.....and I’m sure next week I’ll have another issue that needs it. Cheers

Learning about the plant and how to grow it is what this site is about, along with many other things, and I’m thankful for it.
I’m sure it gets tiring seeing the most basic questions asked over and over. So thanks for the help.
