I'm growing 4 skunk feminized and on the 4, one is 10 cm bigger than the others. OK, good, BUT on a branch of this one, male flowers are growing. The plant is sexed and it's a female. What to do, is it reallly an hermie or what?Cut that branch?
Thanks for help.

i think you should cut the entire branch.....it is a hermie.....it may appear to the other plants as well later in flowering.....in my first grow i faced the same problem as well, during the end my ladies went hermies (do not know exaclty when) giving me a few seeds as well, the plants grew from feminised seeds.....since you've got only 4 ladies, then you will be able to look even carefully for flowers.....if you manage to pick all the male flowers out you will be ok...for now, cut the branch....

I wouldnt cut nothing..:(
If your sure she's a Girl then she's Just more than likley an early bloomer..
Hermy I doubt it..
If they are feminised Stock then Verry rarley and usually a clone under stress will turn hermy.
so I say Keep it in and let HER bloom...:D
even if it does turn hermaphridite you'll still have time to save the rest of your lot...

I've just have a look to the female seeds website and they say that about skunk special. "Test results of this batch of Skunk Special seeds have shown that 1 of 10 plants seem to have a small abnormality. In this case the very first flower of the plant, which appears on the stem between the 4th and 6th leaf-pair, may actually be an undeveloped male flower. After this first flower the plant then grows into a fully 100% female plant.
In spite of this strange deviation, we have still decided to offer you these seeds at a low price, as the male flower does not develop fully and the end results remain exceptional"
I allready grew 6 of these seeds, all females, and the problem appears in fact on the tenth seed. They finaly have good metrics and i'm going to let the branch. Anyway thanks for your help.
