im pretty sure my plant is hermie, but i just need some back up. its got lots of little balls, but on the top of each stem it looks like its budding, with little white hairs. this is also my first grow. so i dont really have a clue what to do. can i just pick of the balls and keep it budding? here are some pics i have just taken. thanks. easy. oh and it smells really nice. thanks

well its definitely at least a herm, may be a male because males can produce a bit of flower too.. But I see the white hairs, I just cant tell if those are actually white hairs/pistils or if they just kinda look like it. Maybe someone else can tell you for sure.

How old is the plant? If its ur only plant and a decent age then maybe go ahead and grow it out. You could use it to make hash, for cooking, collect pollen for breeding, learn how to grow, etc

i think its supposed to be thai, but im not too sure. there was a female ak 47 in there at first but it didnt get very far, was really small. when that died i pulled it out and just chucked a seed in there from a bag of weed. didnt really expect it grow then it just shot off. if i look really close i think i can see like tiny white hairs but im just not sure. thanks people. easy

i started growin it in june i think. so its about 4 months old. i havent got any lights or anything. i just stuck it in the garden and it grew. but now im worried cos i started to grow it in the wrong time of the year, i think. there are so many balls that its long to pick of everyone. but if thats what i gotta do thats what im gonna do. but other wise yea i will make some hash or summin. il have to look it up. but if i want the hash out of it so i still have to take of the balls? thanks

I agree with MrFishy, that plant is 99.9% dude. If it was some killer to begin with, I'd just save a little pollen for use later on down the line. But that aside I'd trash it.

if its outside and your only one then I'd just let it grow. Dont worry about the balls just leave them. You only pick them off to keep them from releasing the pollen inside the balls. Its not necessary if the plant is outside and not around any females. The plant should be cut down right before the pollen sacs open to release the pollen. Since its hard to judge when that is, you can wait till u see a couple sacks opened. I would recommend using it for honey oil or baking unless you see a lot of trichomes, if you see trichs then make some hash

if its been going 4 months thats a good amount of time for a male, no reason to waste it- there's THC in there, put it to use or save it for future baking or honey hash oil

so no one thinks that it might be a hermi? and ive got no reason for pulling of the balls? if the balls pollonate and it is a hermi wont it turn the plant into seeds? sorry guys i was just really looking forward to smoking this plant. kinda sucks if it is all male. il just make the hash like you said. and what is trichomes. sorry. easy

oh and I just saw in your pic that maybe ur keeping the plant inside now, keep in mind if it releases pollen inside the pollen may hang around till ur next grow

+1 vote for being a male plant. Bummer!
I agree with the others- if you have only the one I'd use it for butter, hash, whatever!

nah im not keeping it inside. i just brought it in to take the pics. so its worth keeping it to make some hash or butter. still get me stoned? so lame man. was looking forward to a nice smoke outta that. how much longer do you think i need to give it before i cut it. its been four months.

really it should be about ready to cut at any time but since its your only plant you might want to let it go longer to get the most from it. From what I understand the THC content peaks right when the pollen sacks are opening so dont keep it past that. The level of THC will vary depending on strain and other factors. Really you might need to add some bud if youre going to bake or make oil with it, but again it just depends. Sometimes u can get a good amount out of a mature male. Do some research on checking for trichomes l

Well, if you leave it out, insects will carry your pollen to someone else's sensi, so keep that in mind as you decide.
