That’s one confused plant. There are so many of them so early. I’m interested to hear everyone’s advice.

Are they reg seeds or fem? Did you buy them or they bag seed?
 
I’ve about four like this I don’t know what to do they’re flowering mint but have found pollen sacks??? They are feminised seeds I bought them

I’d cull them personally in that big of grow. Chance they’ll pop up again in the buds that you won’t notice

This. Do this.
Culling one or two plants sucks a little - a full tent of herms (and the cleanup that follows) SUCKS.
Otherwise they pop up again and your whole crop goes down.
Keep the buds, pretend it's 1975 and start de-seeding your smoke or make edibles and hash.

I'm still pretty new, but that looks like a genetic hermaphrodite (I had one on my first grow) - skirt of white pistils and balls underneath.
Bummer!

Maybe try running your a little shorter light cycle - I went with 11.5(light) / 12.5(dark)
No more herms! :bigjoint:

Thanks for the advice, if I find anymore I’m just going to pull them, not worth risking the full crop. I’ve never seen them get balls like when flowering like this it’s usually just at the start.
how does that work with the lights? Never heard of it before might give it a go.

I got my genetic herm with Strawberry Kush flowering under a 12/12 schedule.
Next grow, I flowered them at 11.5 hours on / 12.5 hours off - just added some darkness.

I can't say for sure that was the fix, but I haven't had a herm since.
 
All the seeds were bought online from seedsman, a few were freebies.

alaskan purple, white widow and blueberry from seedsman.
amnesia haze from expert seeds.

On the last grow I done at the end of flower I had a few nanners coming through, before this grow I cleaned the area with bleach in case of contamination but I’m just thinking I have used the same pots, could this be the cause? Just find it strange that there is a few different strains that have turned hermy.
 
Cut them and compost them. Or burn them. Just get them out asap.You will not find all of the sacks to pluck but the pollen will find what it's after. Then you will have a bunch of crap seeds to deal with.
Good luck friend!
