Hermie or female

stays relevant.
That does not look like balls, they look like calyx development, but GS is right- take a better picture LOL.

I am thinking female, I put the pic in photoshop and was able to zoom closeup and it looks like early bud growth.

Don't hermies tend to show their balls on lower branches first? That's what mine did. Of course, I was gone for a week so I don't actually know exactly when it went tranny on me. But! One thing for sure, they're straight balls, and grew out of the plant exactly like they would have were it full-on male, but amongst the female flowers. Weirdness, I think this plant likes swingin' both ways.

question for you guys; if you let a hermie pollinate itself would that make good seeds, dud seeds, or feminized seeds?

With the hermie you'd want to pollinate a non hermie female to get "feminized" seeds.

If you grew the self pollinated seeds you'd have a pretty damn good chance it'd be hermie.

Good feminizing comes from females that are stubborn to hermie to begin with and require a lot of stress, or a foliar spray of giballic acid, colodial silver or other types of stress. Ontariogrower has a test going on different methods of getting a female to hermie.

If the female just hermies in good environment, chances are all her seeds and the other seeds will carry the hermie trait.

on a hermie if you were meticulous and cut off all the balls, would the bud still be decent or do they drastically lost potency also?


Just tryin to learn =D

I think it is a female. It has definite female parts down low , and above I think it is NOT ballz, but immature Pistillate Calyx's. I'll bet if you give it a day or two you WILL see "Hairs" from those .
Treat her good , and she'll treat you good.

Dont breed hermies, they are a cancer and need to be destroyed and all their seeds. They are prone to desiease, next gen smoke is lower quality.Help keep plant "lines" clean and breed with only true males. An option to more females , clone. Keep On Growin
