Yup! You have not yet encountered the Dreaded Hermaphrodite.

Fem sees are made with a female-female cross, leaving out the Y chromosome entirely. Problem is, to get pollen from a girl, you have to force-herm her. Some strains herm easily. Some PLANTS herm differently than others. You don't know what sort or how much stress it took to herm the bitch, so you might (especially as a nOOb) accidentally re-create those conditions in your grow.

Grower Kittah sez:
Beware teh dreaded Herm!!11!
