WTF??? Hermies?
ok guys I have a few plants. 2 of which are 4.5 feet tall they have finished 4 weeks flowering and were growing nice nice buds, but yesterday while I was looking at my little clones, I saw that they had somehow hermied on me.. I looked at my two big ones and found about 10 balls in all. A small amount. I cut them off all of the plants even cutting off entire branches. It has only affected the lower parts of the plants. Do I need to throw em or can I keep on top of it and keep the nice buds atop? I would not mind a few seeds, like really a few, but do not want my entire crop pollenated. any suggestions???
here are a couple pics of the buds, not the balls

unopen female pods maybe??
she looks pretty female to me

WTF??? Hermies?
yes those pics are just up top where she is all female bob bong but down below I have found a few ball clusters and single balls that look like little rose buds. I have seen many many pics of male parts and that is what they look like to me. it doesn't look like the ovary type part where the hairs come out. I just cut the balls off but know I won't be able to find em all. how big are they usually beofre the open and release pollen and what will the look like if they have already?

When the male pollen gets released, a yellow dust follows, so look for a yellow dust.
Good luck.

would probably try to stay up on it and let them finish flowering wouldnt recomend using any seeds or clones from those plants again.

i am just going to try to stay up on it and catch the balls when I can, I don't believe I have see the release of any pollen yet...If even one ball opens, is that enough to fuck things up?
-
WTF??? Hermies?
yes. one pollen sack opening will give you alot of seeds. best to take them off when you see them and not wait around

WTF??? Hermies?
I have seen those alot, they are pre male balls most likely. I hate those bastards but like I've done finish and smoke, start over and hope for the best just don't give up.

forgot to add go for a 100 to 80 percent indica that way they finish early and you don't have 80/90 day flower. those look pretty sativa to me judging the fans on your women.

Do you have any light leeks? One day about a week ago my wife didn't lock the cabinet and a small amount of light got into the cab and 2 days later wee pulled out a Bi Sexual plant, it was completely confused. LOL. I don't know if the light leek had anything to do with it, but I suspect it did, and it was the closest plant to the door.

no I leave the lights on for about 10 mins before I seal the door up just to make sure there aren't any.... It's wierd. They were stressed plants early in their life so I figured maybe it was that. It has ONLY affected the lower portions of the plant and branches so to me that is odd. If there were light leaks coming from under the door in case my dog moved the towel, would it affect only the areas tha received the light, because that would make a bit of sense...
