Help Females w/Buds producing Pollen Pods!?

[Rusty Trichome]

I've grown MJ plants plenty of times. I am now legal ( I live in Michigan and now have a Medical MJ card). I grow my plants inside under 8 different spectrum fluorescent lights.

Why not just use the correct spectrum(s)? What have you done differently than your last sucessful grow?

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.

Failure with bagseed is cheap. Failure with quality genetics is expensive. How old are the seeds you are using, and where did you get 'em? (bagseed, a friend, between the cushions of the sofa...)

Today I went down to do the usual (water, check for bugs, trim a little dead leaves here and there) you know...

Do not trim your flowering ladies. Dead leaves fall off on their own, and trimming can stress them into hermaphrodism.

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.

Nice try with the vacuum, but the pollen likely went right through the filter and bag...and quite possibly pollinated the ladies anyway.

Yes...those are hermies. Whether stress-induced or genetic...they're hermies.
Would definatelly seek fresh genetics of quality, but don't spend a fortune till you've got this 'growing' thing figured-out. Get's expensive.

If stress-induced you can find/eliminate the stress and ride it out, but keep your eyes peeled for more nanners in the same area's on the plant you found the original nanners. If genetic, nanners will continue to form throughout the grow, including inside of the buds.

What MG nutrient are you using on the flowering ladies?

I am now legal ( I live in Michigan and now have a Medical MJ card). I grow my plants inside under 8 different spectrum fluorescent lights. I germinated on November 12th and planted them on the 14th. I had 4 plants going. They grew (vegetative) for 8 weeks. 1 i left alone, 1 i pruned once and 1 i pruned 3 times so it has 8 Tops growing. I then went to 12 on 12 off on January 2 2010. Within a week'ish I had identified 1 male and cut it Rating: 5
