I then went to 12 on 12 off on January 2 2010. Within a week'ish I had identified 1 male and cut it down immediately!! So, these 3 females have been growing Outstanding ever since.

Today has been about 2 1/2 weeks of the Females Budding; and doing it very well I might add! They look like Mountain tops there are so many Trichomes on them!!! I'm completely impressed!!! Smells wonderful. These seeds came from stuff I've collected over the years, I wanted to start as soon as I got my card. I'll purchase some good seeds next time. Anyway...

Today I went down to do the usual (water, check for bugs, trim a little dead leaves here and there) you know... I was SHOCKED to see on all 3 plants a few Pollen Pods, two had even opened up and spilled pollen all over the leaves below them. WTF!?!?!?! I've never, ever seen this before. So I got out the vacuum and turned it on, in hand, while I trimmed off the pods and cleaned the leaves VERY CAREFULLY. What the hell did I do wrong? I've grown Hermaphrodites before, and these are NO Hermies, as you can see by the pictures.

Could someone please HELP ME and tell me what happened? Was it something I did? Will it keep happening? Can I stop it? I just don't understand at all!!!!

Thank you in advance for ANY help you guys can provide!,

That one with the sack on it is most def. a Herm. The fact that its already opened up and dropped its pollen suggests to me you need to pay more attention to your girls. Check them more often for hermie signs and look your girls up and down. If you have any ventilation in there (which you should) the pollen most likely has already pollinated those buds. If you don't have ventilation I'd still guess some of those buds will be pollinated.

What is the ph of the water your using? Do you check the ph everytime you water? They already mentioned light leaks for a cause but there are many other reasons. Look up Herm's and you might find out why.

It could just be the genetics. Who knows.
