Possible Hermie- Macro Picture - hopful to get an expert opinion.

Hey All!

So my buddy and I were looking at our plant, currently in flower and noticed what we thought to be Pollen sacks!
It`s in week 2 of flower, we were looking at all of the new bud sites when all of the sudden...




What is this....

It looks like one side is a Bud Site with a pistil coming out - and the other is a pollen sack.

It`s growing strong, as you can see (Under minimal CFL)


Thank you for your Advice and taking the time to check this out.

Much appreciated!

Pick it off and slice it open and see what's inside? Sometimes the calyx's swell so much they can look like pollen sacks.

i think its 100% female, no yellow bananas

Congrats! Its a he-she, haha
Your plant still looks good tho, its probably just a stray. You either stressed your girls or its genetic, but best thing to do is pick'em off and keep an eye out for more.
Ive had a few hermies in my day that didnt even have active pollen so non of the nearby ladies seeded. So dont sweat it too much.

+rep for pics someone can actually see.

If any open up and do have pollen spray down the area with water so the pollen cant float away and cause you trouble

I don't think it takes an expert to tell you those are male flowers.... It's a hermie

i hope that akcaregiver dude was just joking.

I know i dont need an "Expert", just nice to see what the "pros/ more experienced" would say- rather than 10 people with 5-30 posts a piece giving mixed feedback.

We picked a few and some split open in sections, similar to what a flower would and others are, as you said, "swollen" and looked as if there was a Pistil inside.

Much appreciated to all those that have posted +Rep to those who HELP(ed)!

Doesn't sound like a male flower then. Hopefully there's not too much to worry about. On my last grow I had a lot of this and it confused the hell out of me, then the calyxes stopped swelling like that the closer it came to harvest. Just keep an eye on them

We shall!

Final question to those who know-
How fast do pollen sacks mature, or how long until they open and pollenate.
I have heard that they (the plant) are able to continually produce sacks until late flowering.
Will it get worse as it matures or about the same- regardless we'll be picking them off.

Thanks for the quick reply's guys, I took off most of what I can see but tonight before the lights go out im gonna take her out again and go threw it again and make sure i dont miss any!

ya i was joking, was in a smart ass mood earlier...... and you caught me..lol
