Huh???? Flipped to soon??? I'm betting light leaks would be more of a culprit.

Great!! Now I got this flipped to soon thing stuck in my head. Would you care to elaborate on this??:wtf:

Why you always picking on me toon? What did I do to you?

Maybe the plant wasn't mature enough to start flowering and it hermied in an attempt to pollenate possible female plants in the surrounding area to keep the species alive. I've only experienced delayed flowering with light leaks. I've had plants that stressed and turned hermie right next females that grew great. After all, hermies come about because of stress.... If I'm wrong, please explain.... Thank you in advanced....:thumbsup:

damn for a 1st grower i was happy i thought i was doing good =/ so now i gotta wait and see what the other plant is going to do cus she hasnt flowered but i seperated them even before she started 2 pollinate.. so should i get rid of the hermie or can i put it 2 use in anyway?:(

is not good even for cloning?

Hi,

Let me clarify your situation.

You have a hermie; it is not possible to say what cause this but it does NOT necessarily mean you did something wrong.

A hermie can be 100% natural and predetermined within the genetics of the seed. It can also be a plant that hermaphrodizes at a later point. If it wasn't genetically a hermie, then stresses can cause it to herm. The fact is we can't know what caused your plant to be a hermie. Things mentioned like light leeks, excessive pruning, susceptible genetics, or other stresses can be a contributing factor in non-predetermined hermies.

Growing is a journey; look at your system and make improvements as you go in the areas that may be causing issues.

Remove this plant, treat it like the plague, destroy it immediately. Throughly clean the space. If any pollen makes it onto your girls, the you loose potency and end up with seeds.

They are not good for cloning. Clones are exact replicas and will grow up to hermie as well. If you are not breeding, then all pollinating plants should be destroyed IMMEDIATELY and the space cleaned. If you are breeding, you need a separate space and stringent controls.

:mad: sux you know for a 1st time grower i got so hype to see it actually growin.. now that im gunna be left with 1 fem i jst hope it works out =/ here are her pix... u cud even still see the pistils and she hasnt begane 2 flower or anythin. thanks you guys i will depose of the hermi =/

You know, if it hasn't really gotten into flowing yet (starts of pistils is still pre-flower) then you might consider converting back to veg for a few more weeks. It may stress it a little, but I've done it to some of mine with no problems.

Then you can grow this plant to fill your space and even get some clones off the plant so you don't have to start from seed next time.

chill oldman just sit back and fire up a joint a turn on some willies..

Highly unlikely. The plant will just keep growing till it's mature enough to start flowering. Best to leave 'em in the veg cycle till they're mature enough to switch to flowering. (already showing pre-flowers) But I've never had a plant stress enough to throw nanners because of flipping too early. Sucked-up and scraggly-looking, but no hermies.

A more likely scenario is:
A light leak. No light at all during the 12 hour dark period.
Inconsistent light schedule.
Temperature fluctuation.
Inadequate air exchange.
Bagseed genetics. (a crappy genetic past)

Pollen can stick around and adversely affect your crops on down the line. (it kills your yield when making seeds)

If you purchased your seeds retail, it is likely that this is the result of something you've done. You need to identify the cause of the stress, or you'll keep getting the same results.
If the genetics are solid, and if you had some experience...I'd recommend you re-veg her. But you need to know how to prevent hermaphrodites before you try and work with 'em.

Trash-n-learn. (trash the hermie, and use it as a learning experience) Try and wipe-down any surface that the pollen might have stuck to with a damp rag. (water kills pollen)

Likely a good idea to read the grow logs and basic growing forums till your eyes bleed, and to learn the parts of your plants. Mistaking the pollen for THC is a rookie mistake. <doh> THC is manufactured/contained in the globular head of the trichome.
