Let me clarify....Pic #1 is 1 plant that i'm certain is female. Pic #2, 3, 4 are of the same plant. I was trying to give you guys more angles....Woke up this morning and still no white hairs on my second plant that i suspect to be male. I'll wait till next tuesday...that will be 2 weeks of flowering and i should know by then.
How do you know if your plant is a hermie this early in its life????
That one pic that was blown up looks like a male to me...i see balls...
first pic appears to be female unless other dis-similar portrusions appear, it will be then a herms. At this point, if there is no other male-looking plant matter, just take good care of it. The other one is a male. I didnt see any female gender indicators, though some of the pics were real blurry. Males usually indicate first. Try to make hash oil out of the male or cut it up into pieces and trash it. Do that ASAP so that it does not pollinate your female. They can even be pollinated by a male plant in the next room.
First one is female. The other three are male
Well it seems my second plant that we all thought was a male, is actually a hermie.....i picked off all the balls. Now the 2 plants look identical. They both have white hairs forming at the budsites....its beautiful. I'm 2 weeks into flowering...the suspense is killing me.
just keep picking off the ball sacks throughout harvest and you should be fine, still smokeable.....good luck
This picking the balls off the plant is a bitch.....but there are WAAAAAAAAAAYYYY too many bud sites to throw this one out...im going to have to ride this one out like a soldier.
Quick question to anyone who's dealt w/ a hermie....do the balls still contain pollen in it, or is it just shooting blanks? When i'm picking them off and i squeeze them, goooey slime comes out....(pretty nasty stuff)....And what will happen to the budsights? will they just stop growing? or wither away?
your picking them off at the right time then if they are gooey
the reason they are gooey is because its not ready to break open and spread
the gooey stuff is the pollen in its early stage befour its turns into a powder
if you can get them ballsacks off when they are like this you wont have to worry about splitting one and releasing the pollen
cheers all :)
it is a bitch to pick off all the little sacks, i just finished up doing that but i think i was too late, when i pinched one a bunch of pollen fell to the ground.. :( , oh well..i will still enjoy it, good luck
but will it screw up everything if just one of those balls break? or will i just get some seeds inside the bud?
