ive got 6 plants, right now only one is definitely female. i start seeing pistils coming out on some of the nodes and the top growth on one of my northern lights, then i see these little round growths a few days later that are getting bigger. as much as i want to think otherwise im almost positive its gone hermi, and i might just be paranoid but i think all of the plants are like that except the known female. is it even worth just growing the other 5, because most have pistils, but i see these little fuckers too and dont know if its worth it. i do have to split half the bud with my roommate, but im gonna be pissed if we each only get half the yield of one plant. tried to post pictures before and couldnt figure it out. how shitty is hermi bud???

Sure you aren't looking at immature calyx's? I'd give it a week or two before doing anything drastic. :thumbsup:

Male's don't form buds, nor do they form seeds. The ladies do that. Keep reading. Cannabis FAQ's (top of page)

Ive heard on a few forums you can pinch the balls off.. and watch it to make sure no more pop up.. and flower as normal...

wtf man....? is that at all necessary?

look into dutch masters products (reverse and some other one). reverse has fixed hermies and gained many glowing reviews.

the males wont jiz until the sacs reach a visible size and about 5-8 days old. if your 100% theyre male, pinch em every 2-3 days and find some REVERSE

:wtf:

How in the hell are you going to come in here, post a vague description of your "problem", then accuse the first person nice enough to help you out of being a narc? That's the most ludicrous thing I've read all day.

Rusty gave you some damn good advice: Don't jump to conclusions, and DO humble yourself by reading the FAQs. You'd do well to heed his advice...I've never seen him steer anyone wrong.

If you are truly paranoid that the fuzz is watching you post here, which isn't at all likely, then there's a simple solution for that, too: Turn the computer off.

The username should read reckless, not recluse.

If theres one thing I really love, is an undereducated tweaked-out punk with no real skills, barely a third grade reading level, hiding his stash from mommy and daddy, (right next to the porn collection he stole from his sister) throwing out accusations about someone he's never met.
I really respect morons...really, I do. :jointsmile:

That wasnt about rusty, he was answering some other guys thread on my post who apparently got deleted, and was saying things like "im new to the whole pot scene, should i get a half ounce for $40 is that a good deal" thats who i was talking about and he still sounds shady... get of my nutsack.

Been here all weekend...and I saw no other post.
However, as I'm glad that the remark wasn't pointed at me, I am concerned with the accusations, just the same.
We're here to help each other. Differences in opinion don't usually justify accusations, and can have a negative effect on other members' willingness to offer further assistance.
(political forum being one of the exceptions, lol)

it was the dude asking if he was smoking males because it had seeds in it. ive seen people say much more stupid shit on here and no one got all peeved. i called someone a narcotics officer, i didnt use racial or religious slur. anyways thanks for the reverse advice, its what i need.

I appologize. I'm a bit cranky today. Working on an attitude adjustment right now, tho.:thumbsup:

There were in fact 2 deleted posts from a user whose handle was 'hookmeup247' and the user was deleted for having an inappropriate membername.

Please everyone knock off scrapping for a min.

Male balls differ from female balls in a couple obvious ways:
Female balls are short, stout, fat, round, have 2 hairs coming from each, grow singly or in pairs, and nestle in the node tightly.
Male balls have no hairs, are more oblong, gorw in clusters, and grow on small stems (eh I think it's called a peduncle or something silly). They flop over before they open.
REverse is useful when used according to directions- I believe you must use it before a hermaphrodite male flower appears for it to work properly. But I'm not sure. I kill hermies:chainsaw:

you can try and pinch the little sacs off but remember that you can still spred the pollen onto the fingers, also it might just be easier to dump them or just seclude them and hope you don't get a tons of seeds, if it's for personal use then it's a pain in the butt to take them out but still stuff to smoke

well i took one clone from the one im talking about and it had no seeds on it just the beginning stages of a bud on the tip (which i know it will eventually have seeds, but maybe then i might have the time/ money to be able to risk ordering some reverse online because i dont want to put the other females in jeopardy while i wait a week for this stuff). , im bout to give the plant the axe just to be sure, i already cut down one male, 2 are definitely female, 2 arent showing sex yet and i dont want my whole crop all seedy or going herm becuase i got greedy and wanted one more plant. thanks for all the help. didnt mean to start a feud amongst the cannabinians.
:hippy:
