It does look like very dense leaf clusters are forming right where the buds would be like you said. It is bag seed so its def. low quality. There are no signs of flowering yet. The top of the plant looks pretty normal i guess you could say. where you would see the clusters of pods or pistils there are just leafs coming out. ITS CRAZY!

Mikey, i would look @ the upper most sections of your main cola(s) for the trichomes. they first appear on the part of the leaf closer to the stalk of the plant than the tip of the leaf. Now the presence of trichomes wont tell you sex but it will let you know your plant is starting to mature sexually or not. Also, it has no signs of preflowers another indication of sexual immaturity.
You acknowledged the seed is low quality, but i wonder the strain... ive heard of some really low quality auto-flowers producing little to no bud and just excessive vegetative growth. I would wait it out a little longer unless it starts causing an issue with space. I don't wanna break the bad news but i suspect your seed is retarded and is missing the genetic information to switch from veg to flower. However I'm just some guy on an internet forum so take my advice at face value and make rational choices... dont wanna whack a late bloomer.

Glad to hear it. Watch it closely though, ya never know it could still start sprouting balls as well as pistils. the plant may also be more sensitive to going hermie through enviromental stresses.

yeah im going to keep a close eye on it still. im still very happy lol. Im sure there are a thousand threads out there that ask this same question but. do the hermies pollinate the fems?. i'll be ok with some seeds in a hermi. im used to shit weed anyway

a hermie will pollinate the whole crop if you give it the chance, why it happens-a hermie plant will grow pollen sacks, pollen comes from pollen sacks and when they pop the pollen will be more than happy to hit as many pistils(one pistil=one seed) as possible. a few busted pollen sacks can easily nail a ton of pistils and cause a ton of seeds to form.

oh. shit. maybe i'll have to keep an EXTRA close eye on her then lol. It is a weird plant to begin with and smells really weird i noticed today.

darkdestruction speaks the truth! i think the reason hermies pollinate entire indoor populations is because of how good air circulation is in most of our grows. we're concerned with circulating the air as a defense against mold, but it also accelerates the spreading of pollen. At any rate glad its starting to show sex... how long did it take on 12/12? almost 4 weeks?

How can you tell if its indica or sativa? Im pretty sure i know what the difference is but idk how you can tell just by looking at the plant.

the leaves are thinner and the plants lankier and less bushy with sativa. some sativas can take longer than 14 weeks, 12-16 weeks is about the average time on them. let me see if i cant find a few comparison sativa to indica pics, it will make it alot clearer than me trying to describe it. Although really you can only tell if its indica or sativa dominant, with alot of the crosses out it can be really hard to tell it is a crossbreed unless you know it beforehand. so you can only really tell if its indica or sativa dominant.
