Hermaphrodite?

[n00b]

Hello, first time growing. Had no problem determining male from female after switching to 12/12 cycle and killed all the males as soon as they were showing. However, I am about 3-4 weeks into flowering and now I have some weird growths on one of my females. Is this a hermaphrodite or just something else? Please help me identify! Thanks!

Looks like you have a flower and a problem. But, I haven't a clue. I really like your pictures though. Surely, in the AM or over the week-end the Expert growers in here will drop in and give you some help. Everyone is real busy these days-working twice as hard and making half as much.

Good luck with your grow. The plant looks healthy! pr

Thanks! After doing some more reading here last night I think I may have a light leak that stressed it too much and led to my problem. The weird thing is that all of these "balls" are towards the bottom of the plant, the top looks very nice Was hoping to get some feedback before doing anything drastic like lopping these growths off, but worried about pollinating the rest of the batch if I don't act soon. Holding out for a little longer...

Not just a light leak problem....a light intensity problem as well....

What kind of lamp(s) are you using??? Looks like some serious stretching going on....

As for those sacks....well let's just say that you shouldn't have any male characteristics on any of your plants if you want to have a successful sinsemilla harvest....get rid of it....

Two T12 Daylight bulbs as I was trying to go the 'cheap' route. Went down to knock off the male flowers and noticed one of my bulbs was off too, sure that didn't help. Thanks!

(sigh).... Two T12 Daylight bulbs is not going to give you anything but a headache.... If you don't upgrade your lighting, like yesterday, you are going to be starting another thread asking why your plants aren't flowering correctly.... Why? Because 30watts is not enough.... Shoot for 300watts to start....

You reap what you sow....good luck to ya....

OK...so obviously time for an upgrade. Going to go with this 400W HPS system. Thoughts? Will it be too late to save my current crop?

Thats exactly what I use. I have been using them for around 9 months now with no problems. For a 400 you are looking at around 150 with shipping from HTG. Just watch the heat if you are in a small area. Be sure to order an extra bulb just incase.

Quick update. Been about four or five days since I've installed the new 400w HPS for my 'ladies'. No more hermie issues since then Went ahead and sprung for a 400w MH for my 'babies' as well. Babies are about 13 days out of the soil.

I see a beaner in that 3rd pic. You can probably expect a few here and there.
