So i use a chair, dosnt mean i cant grow!

Stinky is spot on. If you saw say, overnight, this change in your plants, or maybe over 2-3 days, they probably are male flowers. Calyxs usually grow in a little smaller in the beginning, and don't really fatten up until the last few weeks of flower. I'm inclined at this point to say that you probably have a hermie there.

It's okay if the hermie pollinates itself, just keep in mind that those AREN'T the seeds you are after. Keep an eye on the flowers, and usually around 10 days or so after they appear, they will open. Once they open wind and that spreads the pollen to the females and then we get seeds. Pollen can travel FAR on the wind.

Once you see the male flowers open, that's when you go in and take as many of them from that hermie as you can get. Keep those tiny flowers/pollen in a container. If you can seperate the pollen from the flower material, do it. Usually done with a keif or pollen box. A simple silkscreen with glass under it would work. If you can't no biggie, i'm sure you can still get it to work.

You take that pollen to another healthy girl, not hermie, must be healthy female. Take a small paintbrush and "paint" the pollen onto the pistils of the healthy girl wherever you want the seeds to grow. Continue plant as normal and harvest seeds once the calyx breaks open and you can EASILY take the seeds out. Those should be femenized. No male DNA used to create them, just male pollen from a FEMALE plant that was stressed, and a healthy female.

BTW, if you want, after you harvest the pollen from the donor, you can spray it down with plain ole H2O. I have read that H2O will render cannabis pollen inert. So you can at least limit the damage somewhat.

Also, make sure the healthy female you want to seed has at minimum 4-5 weeks left to flower so you can get the seeds to finish fully.

I'll hang around and fill in anywhere I can. Keep in mind this is more of a synapsis then a step by step tutorial, but I think you'll grasp the concept.

It just dawned on me that if those are balls on the top of your plant, it might be full on male. I have never seen a hermie go balls out like that so quickly. The male flowers usually develop once the female flowers have set in a bit.

Just seems off to me.

Are you sure what you are seeing is pistils and not axial limbs? Axial limbs are the little green whisps that look kinda like pistils, but occur singly at the nodes. Pistils are found in pairs protruding out of a calyx.

Just had to throw this out there.

Thanks man, this is a perfect pic. Unfortunately, mine looks nothing like that. Im keeping an eye on them now to be a male or hermy.

Yeah Stoner they are balls. As you can see im getting some great help here, trying to figure out if its a hermy or a male plant.

I have couple il post, the first is one i think is male. Its got lots of balls on it and theres a plant right beside it thats unsexed as of now. But, id like a hermy to make fem. seeds. Its a technique iv never tried, but not so advanced that i should not even attempt, as a new grower trying to learn. Just trying to learn basics at this point. I wish i could grow inside. If i could make one of those cool grow tubs i could, but i wouldn't even consider it without good genetics.:rasta:

Also, a pic that irydyum is trying to help me sex. Its just something that may tell male flowers or hermy plant. Il try to get better ones today cuz the sun's not out so bright today and post them tonight.

Thanks for the help:D

HEY, thanks a lot Dutch Pimp, but they dont look like that. I just found a couple pics pics 420 had on his thread in 06. Looks just like what i have.

Also, what i thought was a naner might not have been what i saw.

Here are the pics i found that looks like what i have. They arnt staked like that yet, but they are working that direction. So as i stated; think i should implement my plan below? Thanks man.

So, im thinking try to pic them off? Also, use them to pollinate a female plant with them for femed seeds?:rasta:

This is what it looks like now. These i think are visable.:(
