Two Males....

So I check on my plants today and come to find that both plants developed some balls. Each plant has multiple ball type preflowers all over the plant. No pistils or anything. These were bubblegun ( bubblegum and ak) FEMINIZED seeds. I do not understand why there showing male preflowers? I understand they can herm, but I am not seeing any calyx's. One plant was stressed a little the other was very healthy though.. Should I chop?

Chop chop. Feminized males are no bueno.

The chance of both plants growing balls from 2 different genetics would indicate something amiss in your grow.

i had six plants going
4 was cowboys
1 a true girl
1 a dike wit balls

if i were you id get in touch wit my bean supplyer
you have been screwed mine were reg seeds not fems

they have a bout 4 or 5 ways of makin fems 1 of the ways involve freezing to a certain temp an boys are supposed to die off
but this new way is why we hear of so many boys among the femed seeds - let them know and tell them you will still use them an not slander there name all over the internet
if they are worth the salt in there body will admit to ther err and make good by you

Here they are, one looks fully male, the other is herm. Only 4 sets of pistils though compared to 100's of balls.

Most likely it is your fault.
If you do not fix the environment or what ever is the problem, you will keep getting male flowers.

Its understandable on the front plant, which was fimmed and lollipopped. The the other plant was completely healthy and never messed with. It was grown as natural as possible and I am really unsure how this is the one that doesnt have a single female preflower. But I have no idea really. Not blaming myself or the seed company...Its nature

No offense, but that is bullshit. If you got stable varieties, then it was your fault.
Nature does not make female plants produce male flowers for no reason.

Read up, It seems that nature(genetics) is the only thing to blame a herm on. No matter how much stress you put on a real fem seed it should not turn herm..

I think you misread that post.
Are you talking about a monoecious hermaphrodite?
If you stress a plant that comes from a feminized seed it will absolutely produce male flowers. I have done it intentionally and unintentionally.

Save some pollen from the male. Use it to get reg seeds.

Im really not trying to argue with you, just trying to reach an agreement really. I was under the impression that a truly feminized seed is unable to produce male preflowers. This is due to there being no male genes present. If a seed is incorrectly feminized it leaves the window open for hermaphroditism. Correct or no?

Every female plant has the ability to produce male flowers, the pollen will be unable to produce male seeds.
i have done it many times.

Yep, but producing male flowers is a normal and natural survival mechanism.

That depends on many things. If you have a real female to start out with, you can not have a real hermaphrodite.
