Good morning guys, last night I checked the plants thoroughly and found that one of the plants was hermaphrodite. No, I am not talking about bananas or nanners but really the balls.
(I am at the beginning of the third week of flowering).
I noticed that the plant produced single balls (so not clusters) coming out of some lower nodes and I found nothing near the flowers. Some balls were oddly placed directly on the length of the branch and not directly in the nodes. The balls were mostly in one of the two apicals and in the branches produced always from the apicals and were totally immature.
I proceeded to manually remove all the hanging balls attached to the branches and removed some of the apical top branching (they would not have received light anyway) and it seems that ,after hours of careful inspection, there are none left.
I have seen many cases of hermaphroidism where there were countless clusters, half-female and half-male flowers etc. and this is not my case also because I repeat that at most I found two balls close together but nothing more. In your opinion could the situation worsen with time? I found a plant of the same genetics with only one ball in an internode but nothing else and every day I will see to be as careful as possible but cutting everything is not feasible since it would be the last cycle before summer and I would like your opinion about it.
I thank you in advance
