i All, Can a male become a hermie they sure look like pistils and when I look through the loupe there are trichs.

Looks like a hermie that is predominately male. Is there a reason you are holding onto that thing? Looks like he spooged a load all over your light.

LOL! That he did. They're auto flowering diesel ryder and I kept him so I'd get some beans since you can not clone these. Now the question is will the beans all have hermie DNA like dad who decided to call in gay(G)?

From my research, reading, etc., the seeds will not be hermie prone until 4th generation of all female crossing...

Every male I ever let get big enough had pistils on every branch. Odd huh? Good luck with your breeding LunaRose. (cool handle)

Lolagirl, Thanks. He's not even that old 4-5 weeks old. Do you know if the pollinated females of an AF will take as long to mature the beans as regular strains? I don't know what I did to screw up this grow but only two girls and this one male survived out of 7, one after the other after 3 weeks of healthy and happy growth just withered and died so I really need these seeds.

I like your handle too.

I don't even slightlly understand what this means......???? Is it something to do with autoflowering plants because I've never heard of it in regards to growing regular strains.

In regards to your wondering if your plants will be hermie-prone......It depends on what happened to hermie the original plants that you have. A lot of stress will hermie just about any cannabis so I don't count that as a problem but a plant that hermies "for no real reason" that you can find (maybe you looked at it funny) is not one whose's traits I'd want to pass on.
