Hey Guys I've seen the pictures of the hermaphrodite plants where the sacks are separate from the bud clusters, but what is this?! The balls are homogeniously distributed throughout the bud but theres a whole lot of pistils too! Are those balls regular to a budding female, or do I have a hermaphrodite on my hands? Should I kill it, or will the bud still be cool?
Weird Looking Hermaphrodite??

I'm afraid you have a classic/full-blown hermie there....
If you have young flowering plants around it will possibly pollenate them. Not good.
If not, you can let it go..but it may not do much more and may just cover itself in flowers. How far along are you? Looks like 50+ days...
good luck

Hey thanks a lot man. Its in my grow room with 4 females...Geez theres such a decent amount of flowering on it though I'd hate to kill it off ...yea I am about 50 days in. If it were you, would you kill it off to spare the other 4 nicely flowering females? Or will it still be a decent smoke? Its pretty much guaranteed that the hermie is going to pollinate soon huh...

Those 4 female plants won't make seed at this point even if they get bonked. They'll be done within 15 days or so...correct? Are you flushing...possibly heavily? That sometimes triggers some plants to herm at the end.
It's any *young* flowering plants hangin around that you need to worry about. Anything around that is at 1-5 weeks? If so..kill "it" and smoke it.
If not..have fun and let er rip. I can't see any harm comin from lettin it go.

Even if it is too late to pollinate the females, consider that the pollen can contaminate your grow area for other grows....
