Are my girls hermies?....help

Can anyone please help i woke up this morning and checked on my girls and it looks like they have balls as well.

Is this a hermi and if so can i castrate it.

I have no light leaks as there is a door and a blackout curtain to go through, these were ment to be feminized seeds but can you get hermies from fem seeds?

Sorry for pic quality but camera is supposed to take close ups but seem to not like to...lol.

Really nervous as this is my first grow.

Thanks for any help.

two out of three photos were out of focus, can't help you. look for an even number of spears on a leaf tho, like 4 or 6

uploaded a different pic hopefully not so out of focus.


What are these spears your talking about where do i find them?

Yep I Think That a Hermie

unfortunatly those are sacs. that sucks. how many other plants you got

got 2 plants both the same symptoms
am i able to castrate by squeezing the balls or will that damage the plant.


the sacs are only in the one place on bothplants..

anyway to save them?

I have the same thing going on. I pulled off all I could find. I left two to watch. They opened and have hairs comming out. No pollen that I can tell. It is my first grow, I only have two plants and its bagseed so I am letting it grow and learn.

If you squeeze the balls pollen will go through the air that the sacks hold and damage your other plants. Also it won't help it the balls will just grow back.

Yea fem seeds have a 1-10% chance of being Hermi, that is how we get feminized seeds, a female hermi-plant is used to pollinate a buch of great females. The offspring seeds carry the genes of the mother/father as well as the genes of the female mother so there is a chance that some of the seeds will have the same genes as the mother that went hermi. You seem to have had some bad luck and gotten two of the seeds that have the bad genes of the original Hermi-mother/father. I would cut em and just start over. Remember, just to be safe, I always plant a couple of extra seeds just to be safe, some seeds wont germinate, others will but will lag or be very weak. It is easier to just start a couple of extra seeds if you can, and then pick the best looking ones dispose of the weak ones. good luck man.

Man your pics look just like what i discovered theis morning see my topic posted in the same section Re: are these males? - looks exactly like what i got and i used feminised seeds too - i sure hope my other two big bang dont go the same way. So is this what happens - we get a 10% chance of hermies?


heres the link to my pics... https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/188001-plant-male.html

your girls are boys!!!! oh no!

I hope you have other plants because I'd hate to see you only grew one plant and now you don't have shit.

Just an update I castrated the bollocks of both plants and they haven't grown back (crossed fingers).

Thought i would post some pics of them day 70.

thanks to everyone for the help.
