confirm my fears

[Frawsti]

I'm almost positive that this is a hermie, but seeing as i only have three plants I want it to be confirmed before killing it. ):

And what happens if i just let it grow? Will the bud not have THC?

Thanks ;-;

On the left hand picture I see stuff mixed in with the female flowers that look like pollen sacks that have yellow stuff that look like male sex organs. On the right I only see female stuff.
If you let it grow it will seed itself and give you buds that might be 60% seed. It could also spread pollen to your other females and seed them.
There are degrees of hermaphrodism. I've had plants that were 90% female, 10% male where I could just pick off the male parts and have good bud with minimal seeds. You can kind of assess that by looking at the plant. On the left I'm seeing enough on those relatively immature buds that I think you should probably kill the plant.

Maybe another poster will see something different, or maybe you could come back with closer photos or arrows to what you think are male parts, cuz like I said, I don't see anything on the right. You might try googling images of male cannabis flowers. They tend to be balls with yellow inside, or like bananas when more mature.

Doesn't look hermie to me. Are you talking about the two ball shaped masses at the node spot? Those are just swelling calyxes. You look fine to me. A hermie plant will produce THC just fine but it will pollinate itself making your precious buds fill up with unwanted seed. Where there are seeds, there is wasted sugars starches etc that went to seed production but if it wasn't pollinated it could have ALL went to THC production.

I just don't see what you're talking about. Looking at the images on a 37 inch screen in HD and it looks pretty clearly NON-hermie to me.

i agree, they simply look like swollen calyxs and very swollen at that, lol.. those things are effing frosty though m8.. what strain??

 

[asdewqasdfgh]

this 100% feminine

 

[brimck325]

looks like pre-flower is pregnant....peace

 

[TheGrotesque]

Preflower looks unusually larger than I'm used to seeing, but I can't say it's a herm. Some more, closer pics?

 

[Chummerbum]

i say its all girl homie

 

[PeyoteReligion]

It's a girl, and even if it had or did go herm it wil still have thc. You can already see the thc buddy, it's the frosty looking things on your buds! Called thrichombes.

 

[0calli]

dude i swear had the same issue looke the same and all your fine its not hermied

 

[LittleT]

not to worry--i planted a few autos last fall out of 3 females i got 23 seed--not in bud but right below the bud.still great smoke----no males around girls

 

[Frawsti]

O_O thanks everyone! I was referring to the ball shaped things growing from the base of the stems. I saw a hermie in another post that had things that looked like that, and i thought they were describing it.

Thanks haha, and i dont know man. They are almost three weeks into flowering, see if you can identify the strain xD

Yeah, that's a older pic though i replaced it with reflective sheeting from lowes today

 

[racerboy71]

i don't care if it's aluminum foil or not, those girls look tasty as poo, my god, nice work m8... they look super dank for reals..

 

[fenderburn84]

Those are girls. Thankfully you didn't chop em

 

[wayno30]

i think the plant in the first pic is gonna grow a fat bud

 

[Frawsti]

i think the plant in the first pic is gonna grow a fat bud

Why so? It's three weeks into flowering and it's buds are way smaller than the buds on the shorter plant c:

Thanks!

I'd "like" your posts but that option doesnt appear to be available.

To be honest, looks female, but to be sure, a pic update this weekend would confirm, either way the only negative to it is that you shit will have seeds, and if you keep other plants in the same room they will most likely get pollinated (but wont have quite as many seeds depending on their location in relation to this one). Smoke quality will suffer slightly, but will still be more than acceptable from the looks of those crystals.
