It was a female, it is a female, but he said himself he interupted the 12 hour dark period, thus he stressed out the female plant, he confused it, he broke the dark period, so it turned hermi, it would have had small sacks at the bottom where his arrow is pointing, he never seen them, they opened and out came the pollen the white dust he is pointing out now that he has seen it.
So yes in life it was going through a female, not all plants do this but this one has turned hermi.

Dont no if you did this but you have to sex the plants before you induce flowing or they will turn hermie. Meaning you have to veg them and wait till they show pre flowers at the nodes. Then you can flower them. I had the same shit happen to me 2 it sucks and the tree was some fire sativa red hair.
No...

Looks like a herm in that first pick to me, also. Even looks like there is pollen on that lower leaf. Does look mostly female though. You could let it go and get some seedy, smaller buds if you wanted. Still smokeable and you'd have more seeds. Could have been the heat. If you let it go, get a spray bottle and spray your grow room down and spray and wipe your leaves down. If you dont get anymore bananas then you may be able to keep most of your plant from getting seeds if you get rid of the pollen thats already in there. Happened to me. I cought it early and ended up with seeds only in the very early buds. The rest was good.

You do not need to wait till you see pre-flowers in veg to prevent hermies. Pull off those male flowers and you'll cut down on the pollinated parts of your plant. Some bud may still be salvageable and you can smoke the schwag too. Make sure you keep her/him away from your autos. Good luck.:peace:

I threw mine into flower in a little over 2 weeks, and mine did not hermie.. and have done this with several of em so I dont think thats a factor when talking about plants turning hermie
