Did my fem seeds turn male?

Been growing these out awhile, bought fem seeds, are these trash? Switched to flower about a week ago

Yes those are balls.

Which seeds, how many did you pop and they were all male?

Sometimes contamination makes males turn up in fem packs. I think more rarely, a genetic female could express only male flowers. Sometimes, a breeder can mix up seeds and not notice, I think most of them are very high all the time.

Sometimes scammers sell regular beans beans as fems, this has happened recently.

Your pics (for me) aren't sharp enough, might be new growth.
Are the balls on teeny tiny stems?

@Hugo Phurst that what I'm trying to figure out. These were seeds from a good breeder and seed bank.

Actually yes teeny tiny stems

Are getting any “ pistils “ ( hairs ) anywhere on tops ?

Some strains are a bit slow to sex out .... I would watch at least another week as it transitions.

If it continues clustering ( pods ) then cull it. You just need to see what hormonal change if any will happen.

Ok, leaving them in the tent, one more pic.

if its a male, keep it going. free seeds

No way, need some smoke!!

Looks like it has the beginning of some deficiency. You could hit it with a foliar spray until you know what sex it is.

Chopped them all today, thankfully have another seed pack in there with 4/6 female. Here's the rootball after chopping. Sold on smart pots! Thanks everyone.

How many different genos were confirmed male?

3 out of 4

I'm not gonna name names, I think it was a rare freak thing. I contacted the breeder, and they are sending me a free pack of fems, contacted the seedbank and they followed up with the breeder. No one else has had this problem with these seeds, so I think it's a isolated incident

to not inform is as bad as the SCAMMER IMHO

If it was my seed bank I would want to know the good and the bad ...That's advertising in my books .
Just like if I ordered seeds and none popped should I say anything ....lots of breeder blame the grower and to some degree its true people fuck up .

Glad you got in contact with the breeder, it's probably just a mixup.

How do you know nobody else has a problem with these seeds? In my experience, when I complain to a business and they say nobody else is having that problem that means they are in crisis because everyone else is having a problem.

The thing is, three out of four is a pretty strong indicator that you got a pack of regs. Probably all the packs from that batch are bunk. GPS wasn't proactive about replacing their seeds either. They waited for folks to contact them before sending a replacement.

I don't necessarily pop seeds right away, some seedlings I have going right now are from seeds I bought five years ago. I'd be pretty bummed if I opened a pack that has been waiting for just the right time only to find a bunch of males and the breeder is long gone, or doesn't have any more packs in the library, or just blows me off because it has been so long...
