Transplanting question

That's what I was saying earlier, in reply 2. So can you elaborate about root ball thing that's pretty interesting?
Sure I have 2 tote bins I recycle my old root balls in. One is for recently harvested root balls & the other I add soil amendments and worm castings to and allow to "cook" for a month or so for the next plants that needs transplanting. I use the raw dead soil as starter mix and the rich recycled stuff for everything else & im totally organic. Here's a link to my thread if ya wanna see how I do it:

Looks good...I see no hermies in your pics but It would be too early for them to come out unless some kind of stress occurred like a light leak. Usually if you use fem seeds and if that particular pheno was prone to herm out it typically happens if at all later in flowering...look for like tiny little bananas that start out looking like a downward horn or something; they are usually yellow in color so fairly easy to see if you are paying attention. If you ever find some pluck em off with your trusty zircon encrusted tweezers & expect more to grow in but as long as you pick them off or harvest before they open they won't spooge pollen all over your ladies. If they seed out your crop it will kill your yield so be vigilant but you are good for now.
Those "balls" are likely just false seed pods that are loading with resins so don't want to touch them too much.

Like Dick said those are just little calyxes that were there before the buds grew so it's odd you're just noticing them now. They sit at the bottom of side branches are are the pre-flowers people look for to tell if they got a boy or a girl. Hairs coming out = girls.

Collect a bunch of them then put that in your pipe and smoke it! :D

:peace:

Tell me this then I also found a round ball in same place on some stems but these balls literally fall right off with the slightest touch. Was that male parts then?

Not likely male parts if you aren't finding balls or 'nanners in your buds. Just old pre-flower calyxes that have dried up before maturing.

Here's a pic of some 'nanners I found on one of my girls a few years back. See how they look like a bunch of bananas? Hence the name 'nanners

These are regular male flowers with the open ones showing the bunch of 'nanners inside.

Never transplant into dry soil, because immediately the plant will lose moisture to the surrounding soil, as it will act as a wick and suck moisture from the seedling. Always trans plant form a moist medium (MOIST, not wet), into a moist medium, as it will be easier to transplant and produce less shock to the plant

Here i found one and its hard like a seed
What you are seeing is a pod that could have been a true seed, but because the plant was never germinated, it will never become a fully developed seed. A hermie will have pollen sacks just like a female, not those little seed like pieces of shit,
I have produced many females that will produce a few little seeds, but is doesn't mean shit. Your plant is fine. If you had pollen sacks, then you would be fucked.
