Im a first time grower and am not sure if i am looking at a female or a hermie any input would br greatly apprieciated. Thanks.,
Welcome anon...Nice plant from the pic 's she just looks female.
As youre buds develope keep an eye out for banna shaped pod
yellow in colour just like tiny real ones pic em off if you see em,,
But all looks ok so far.Hows your temps?. What have you got here growing
in?.Whats your light set up?....
Keep us posted drop over too the Ireland Tread and say hello..
Youll get too it threw the europe link..
Peace D ,Nice Work
well i cant tell by the pictures but female plants have 7-9 leaves and will yeild more bud and males only have 5 leaves and less bud usually more seeds... way to tell if its a hermi is if u know it starts out female and is near a male plant and the male plant cross-pollenates with the female and the female will be come hermie.. a hermie wont produce a big yeild and once it turns hermie usually the plant goes into automaticflowering mode..hermies seem to grow faster..... also the potency a female plant will be way greater than male most the time..hope this helps and keep up the work
Its in a small closet all on its ownso no chance of a male nearby , just invested in a 125 wt red sectrum light ,surrounded by flouresent lights. Temp is 76F, planted in a perlite mix, ph stayed at 7 through out growing.Been on 12/12 for 26 days i did clone it earlier in the growing period but they died through over feeding? so i am allowing for recovery time for the plant. Thanks for the help.
n/p sounds good
Anon.Females Dont need Males to Herm Bro, it can be Gene based or it
can also be Heat issues. As i say the plant looks fine and your temps and
Ph sound cool. Try and pic up a 250 HPS for the little space and youll
double ur finish'd plant. Floros are ideal for Veg'in but not good for flowering.
Aldo if its your first go Well Done. You've no probs......
You feed your clones?. How long did you veg em for after taking them?..
You ll need to folar spray your clones and keep em moist Did they root for
You then die?.......Or did they even take root did u use hormone?.
It cheap enough and its cheap. Try it next time/
Again good going keep us posted...
Peace D
As im sure you ve read leaving Males and females together Just breeds more beautiful ganja not Hermies i had to clear that up hipNO ,,lol...
Peace Out D
dude, you shouldn't contribute if you don't know wth you're talking about.:wtf:Quote:

Thanks for that. As for the clones i used rockwool set in a perlite mix again. Followed all the cleanliness instructions took a cutting dipped in bottled water then into clone it, i covered them in a dome and misted the dome and foilage with an root accelerator. They did show signs of growing but four weeks in one just shrivelled and died the other followed shortly on looking yes they had developed a strong root system. The problem i think was that i had it in with its mother who was starting 12/12 so maybe it was a light thing. I am also using Sensi Bloom part a and b on the mother for the last two weeks. App the replys.

Next, MALES DO NOT HAVE BUD AND CANNOT BEAR SEED. Duh, when is the last time you saw a DUDE pregnant?
NO again this is wrong. Presence of males does not induce herms, as MArkass said, HEAT STRESS and light leaks, or crap genetics, produces herms.Quote:

Oh my God my head hurts.
I don't know about you guys but pic one has balls, looks to be hermie to me!!!! If you look in right side under flower..... Sry looks hermie on pic one but pic 2 and 3 look fine.
They are all pictures of the same plant and i agree at a glance they look similar to balls but on closer inspection with a magnifier they are oval shaped and growing upright
Also pic 1 is the tip of a branch pic 2 is the top of the plant
You Did some homework regarding the clones anon. Always good too see
By the way what was the seed?. Some plants are harder too clone than orders, so ive read. Like NL is good for beginners but not Beans
from Serious Seeds. Which ive grown but not cloned because i found the plants harder too grow than other strains ive tryed.........
That aside i wont Annoy Stinky lol...Blowing smoke up ur ass......lol
Im not sure why your clones fail'd putting them str into 12/12 shouldnt have been a factor..When ive taken clones ive been cautious and veg'd on 18/6
for two week to establish them first. Again do, uve done ur homework
and ive no idea why they died. Strange but like i said it could be just a
bitchy strain ur growing...perhaps
Well Done again .D
anon, look closely.
Do the balls appear to be on little stalks or stems? Do they appear to be longitudinally ridged? That would be male.
If they are sitting flush in the node, and appear raindrop-shaped and smooth, they are female.
I think you are looking at a hermaphrodite personally. But the pic is on the fuzzy side.
Better said than i Could.....Tks Stinky....
To be honest it started by accident got a seed from a bag of bud stuck it in a pot for curiosity in a few days it had grown considerably so long story short ------here i am. Looking at different strains i think it looks most like afgani. I intend to regenerate the plant if it is female and clone it again but
1st i need to work out what went wrong. If not lighting maybe i fertilized it to soon which would add up time wise
They are definately flush , this is why im finding it difficult to be sure.
Well, give it a day and watch to see if they OPEN, or pop out HAIRS.
Mist them with water occasionally too because water deactivates pollen, and it is better safe than sorry.
The origin of your seed may well have been from a hermi mother, as most commercial grows are started from clones, and a male would never see the place... unless it was outdoor, in which case all bets are off, lol!
Well damn, not a bad plant for an EXPERIMENT hahaha now just go and see what happens when you get more serious... :D
Oh- NL being good for beginners... it's true! (why would that annoy me? haha except that I personally would choose Skunk#1 over NL, but that's just me, I like da Skunk)
I'm running NL from Nirvana right now and finding it perfectly fine. Not a stunner, but fine. I think its real value lies in what I have seen it add to breeding projects. NL crosses that I have seen are truly beautiful plants.
Adding a few more if this helps
some more
You've got MALE.
An even easier place to see the sex is in the divit where an upper branch attaches to the main stem. New leaf growth isn't in the way, and to an untrained eye, the tips of new leaves can be confused with pistils.
Not so sure i,d agree with you on that one. If you had said hermie it would make more sense to me.
in 10 days or so you'll know ;)
There will be pollen all over as they unfortunately look like male bananas to me too
A couple of more pics wouldn't hurt but I would go with StinkyAttic - you got male :(
Fair enough. Thanks for the info guess ill just have to go again.
:chainsaw::chainsaw::chainsaw:Fair enough. Thanks for the info guess ill just have to go again.
Fair enough thanks for all in input ill have to try again
I dont have a clue but.. theyre looking nice how far along are they? Lol.
Def a male, i know it is atleast a male could be a hermie though.... I thought i saw balls pretty obvious.
They are 27 days on 12/12 im confused because there are also white pistals on it. All the pics are of the same plant
So, your not much of a grower then - you make it obvious by giving advice and not having a clue about the subject.Quote:

A male produces pollen, not bud, and not seeds. The pollen then pollinates the female, and the FEMALE produces seeds.
The 1st pic looks like a hermie.
Thanks have given it a few more days and i am sure irs hermie. It def has balls and it also definately has white pistals growing upward these are mostly on the tips of the branches while the balls are underneath these. Im assuming at this stage my best bet is to throw it out and start again or do i let it go to seed. Would these seeds then have the hermie gene in them? What would be the chances of getting a female plant with these seeds
50 / 50? Can anyone throw any light.
