Hermaphrodite?

First grow, but I think it may be hermaphrodite. Are those pollen sacks? Help!

Yep.

If it's your only plant, just keep on going.

Wouldn't bother with any resulting seeds, but that is up to you.

I thought so. Thanks for the reply. It's not my only one, so I took it out of the room. I was thinking about finishing it for the seeds in another room. Why would you not do that? I'm really new and trying to learn all I can. Can you elaborate?

There's generally a higher chance of hermaphrodites the next generation. Might get lucky, but odds are lower.

I've had issues from keeping them in the past, so choose not to now.

If you have the time and space to grow it out, great, it's all smoko. Just have some backup seed ready incase.

Cool, thanks for the info. I had read that femenized seeds came from herms. I guess that's incorrect?

Yes, incorrect imho, they're forced. A little bit of Dad/Dad's is always in every plant and is passed on (same as you and I). They're able to use chemicals to manipulate it's hormones so Dad is more pronounced and Mum is suppressed.
The female is still a female and genetically exactly the same female, only hormonally manipulated

I haven't feminized seed before, so take it as you will.

Wow, ok. Thanks alot for the info. I'm learning alot here.

No problem, glad I could help.

If you're curious for better and more detailed answers, may I suggest doing some research. Specifically about plant chromosomes and how relevant / crucial the chromosomes of both parent's are, in which gender the offspring becomes.

It's good reading and really interesting.

And if your other plants herm too you have nothing left if keep taking them out. Pluck of sacs and carry on as normal, if one hermed so.may the rest so.just leave em all together but be vigilant.

When you get better herms will stop and you wont get any seed in your bud - till then you need to accept some seed whilst you learn

Aussie has given good advice..turf the Herm as you have other plants...

That said, the Hermie will give you feminized seed...the problem, is that either the genetics or the circumstances forcing the plant to Hermie..mean pollen will produce feminized seed..but that seed is likely to Hermie too...(not a good trait)

Feminized seed is produced by breeders who purposely force a female to Hermie, usually with collodial silver. Using this method as a catalyst seems to dramatically lower the frequency that Hermie traits are passed on through to the next generation.

Herm genetics are not breedable as traits - they are hardwired into every plant every strain for millions and such years now. Its an awesome survival tactic in the wet and bad years since the distance pollen has to travel is tiny and the futher the distance the less chance.

You can herm a plant - grow the hundred seeds produced and find not one herm. Stuff is largely down to skill and selecting a strain that treats you well not breeders or fem seeds.

Mj also seems to suffer no loss of potency or genetics by constant selfing and so you can keep selfing a herm and its offspring bitch seed and still keep getting quality dank.

New growers should take the hit of seeded bud - still quality bud and whats a few seeds unless your the kind of guy where small insignificant problems see you flying into fits of rage and killing innocents - if your that guy then dispose of that herm and all your others immediately, i warn you that many have zero plants and bud at end of grows for removing the herms as they all.might if one has.

Just tossed 6 rado driver bxs all threw balls. Herms are everywhere in his genetics ive had at least 15herms past 5 packs roughly
