Is this a hermie?????

This is my first grow.. and today is the first day Ive noticed these things.

I read that if it looks like a sac BUT has a pistil/pistils coming out of the end of it it cant be a pollen sack....


So what is this???

Read this part carefully..

there are 2 on each side under every or almost every Cola/Flower They have a pistil coming out of them... I pulled one off just to see what it was and to take a pic....

Its not just one 1 plant either.. they are on all 4 plants in the exact same spots accept the one i took a pic of has them bigger.... then the other plants..

Please give an educated answer.. if you dont know then please dont tell me what you think it is.. thank you..




heres a pic i drew and heres the pic i took


ps: the pic i took of the thing doesnt have a pistil yet.. but some of the other ones do already....

could this just be a flower about to bud or somthing? Or a big calyx forming? Cuz its not forming like male/hermie plant pics i googled..... theres not multiple ones its just 2 1 on each side and they have pistils on the tips of them... it doesnt look like pollen sacs to me..


PPPSSSS: I just found this pic... it looks like the female pre-flower....... to me...... cuz it has pistils..


PPSSSS again lol.. after looking at the 3rd pic.. im pretty sure its a female pre-flower.......... am i safe?

This is a normal calyx. They form there during preflower but don't bud up. They will be left with one in each position until the plant dies. No need to remove them.

You're fine so far. Not out of the woods yet. Most signs of hermie a couple weeks into flowering.

I've had female pre flowers on week five of vegging, and then it turned herm 3 weeks into flowering.

def looks like a calyx..

I just want to be clear. A hermie will show both male and female, hairs and balls at the same time. You are also saying that the pollin sacks will not pollinate other females in the same room?

The reason I as is I have 2 plants that show signs of hairs and sacks. These 2 what evers are out in the cold and rain when they could be nice and warm in a 12/12 room

If its the only thing you have groeing then let it finnish and try pulling off all staminate flowers (bananas). And if you have other plants in same room the Hermie will pollinate them all.

hermi are bad remove asap. i tried on one of mine to remove sac and they pollenated everything anyways what a mess now i have bud full of seeds. IMO remove them there just as bad as a male plant

Thank you Thats what I wanted to know
