Hi, So today is day 7 of flowering 12/12 cycle and 4 out of 6 plants appear to have started to bud however they are all showing signs of male organs (football looking balls grouped together) Do pistols groups as well? Could they just still be immature and haven't popped their hairs yet? There are clusters of white hairs on the ends of almost all the main branches including the top which is most dense. Am I stuck with a hermie group? I have successfully sexed one female with out any doubt( I LOVE HER :) and the last plant has yet to show sex. If these turn out to be hermi should I destroy them for the sake of one female or let them mature for a larger yield?:o

Hmmm....... So hard to let go of 2/3 of the crop even more so when they seem to be bud producing. Is there any chance I am just sexing early and these could possibly turn out to be female? If anyone can post a clear pick of the first signs of a hermi plant that I could compare and contrast too I would appreciate it. The cam I got just blurs everything together when I put it that close : / . I have read a few threads on hermi bud and people seem to be split in thought of them producing good quality bud with a few seeds to pick through. If this is the case would it be more beneficial to sacrifice one seedless female to quadrupole the yield? If not then how long can I wait before the pull ? I would like them to get as potent as possible before they get ripped out so they can make some good butter and not chalk it up as a total loss.

Thanks res that helped me make up my mind. + rep They will all be chopped. Can anyone give me any info on how long I can wait before I chop them? Like I stated previously I would like them to get as potent as possible before I murder them so i can at least get som decent butter out of them. Basically I am asking how soon in the flowering cycle do males actually start to pollinate the females?

if u only have 6 plants wuts the prob? throw out the males. keep the rest. seeds? big f'in deal. u can still smoke it, seeds or no. it's not like you're growing 100 females and you're going to fertilize them all. it's just a few plants.
