HERMIE in the stable...Keep or no keep

[GreenGiant81]

So this morning I got up and start looking around the canopy and I noticed two strange balls on my plant. So I look around a bit more and I see what appears to be a white looking hair in another area on a branch. Here is the strange thing about all of this I have not sexed them yet so this is very strange to be getting this

I will be posting pics later today.

Im scared because I dont know what else is in the canopy (BECAUSE I HAVE NOT SEXED THEM YET).

Is this a male or a female or hermie? PIC IS IN REPLY #6

Few questions, would you keep if its only thing close to a female in your canopy?

If I cloned a hermie is it possible to get a female lol? (funny question I know since its same genetics)

It depends on how many other plants you have going. And another thing to think about, and it's only a theory so far since I can't find any more info as of yet. Is when the labs make feminized seeds, they trick a female plant into making male flowers (Kind of like a hermie) so the chances are that the seeds produced from a lab-created-hermie will more than likely be "feminized".

I don't know if it's true or not but it works in my head which isn't saying alot. lol. Anyway, if it's your only chance of pulling some bud I'd keep it around atleast until the other flowers start to show.

And obviously we'll be waiting on some pics

I'd flower it elsewhere for seeds if possible...if you've only got 1 area though - I really dunno, its your call...sod it, keep it anyway! Whats the worst you'll get off it, seedy bud? How many plants you got?

i kept a female dominate hermie, was real stinky/sticky and looked great till like week 6 or 7 flowering, then a explosion of seeds came... just cut a top off another plant close to it and there were some seeds too.... SEEDS SUCK

I have 4 total which are like 4 weeks old now.

Im going to get the cam in the next 10mins and take some pics. This is perplexing me lol not sure how my plant is showing signs without being sexed.

 

[GreenGiant81]

if you look close it looks like a hair coming out but not sure what you guys think... im going to upload the rest of the pics

I have a kill all hermie policy. A naturally occurring hermie is dangerous genetics.

what does this look like to you though im confused lol

I do not see a hermie yet, Keep an eye on it. Most sensi grows will hermie at the end of flowering, minimally and it is the plants survival mode. But a hermie at the start of flowering is real bad and should not be used for any type of breeding.

but what does this look like because I have never seen this before. Does this look male or female?

 

[AKRevo47]

Keep that thing, why waste it? Heres a pic of a hermie I kept and its so heavy the branches can barely support themselves. Its also on week 6 of flower and still no seeds. I plan on making a good amount of hash and edibles

It looks female to me but my eyesight is poor.

thats what i was thinking to as I started to examine it more. Is this normal to show sex without sexing? The plant is a big bud plant it is only 3 weeks old but the plant has dwarfed all the 4 week old skunks I have the plant is extraordinarily big.

 

[diemdepyro]

Yes it is normal, If I am correct those are minimal pre flowers and are quite common.

I think both those pics are females. Give them a few days to develop, you've got a long way before pollen is released.

The male sex organs really look like balls, while the female calyxes tend to be teardrop shaped. Looks like a couple tears to me.

And if the only thing close to a female you have is a hermie, you can still grow it out. It will self-pollinate and leave residual pollen everywhere in your grow room, so you'll have to clean it well before flowing any other plant in there.

Looks female so far though. Give it time.

oh wow.... i didnt know it here is another pic. So hermies hardly ever show in the beginning only towards the end of flowering?

 

[diemdepyro]

That is a female, The hermie thing at the very end of flowering is the plants survival of the species mode.(normal) A plant that hermies early is abnormal. I hope you understand because I am not very articulate.

It could be autoflowing? I've also heard many accounts of plants showing sex after vegging long enough--eventually they just hit puberty, whether you tell them to or not.

 

[diemdepyro]

He said it was big bud. I am unsure if that is an autoflower.

Looks like a female to me too, give it a few days to be sure though.
