flowering plants are hermaphrodites, suggestions welcomed..

[ugh]

I'm four weeks into flower and about a week ago i noticed sacks growing at the bottom of my plants which is something I've never seen in previous grows. I'm not sure as to wether it's stress or genetics, but I've come to the conclusion that my plants are hermaphrodites.
I'm growing Blue City Diesel and Bubba kush, The kush is completly unaffected as i havent found any sacks on it. I'm wondering if the bcd is turning hermaphrodite from stress because we have had to treat it for a calcium deficiency and it seems to be suffering from overwatering. The kush is once anagin showing neiher of these symptoms.
After some research I've started plucking the sack were there bud itself doesnt seem affected and started cutting lower branches that have 50% or more of theses clusters. Tomorrow morning before the lights turn off I will be using dutch bros reverse to spary the plants in hope that in will stop all male groth in the plants.
If anybody has any feedback on the matter it is greatly appreciated as I am going based on what I've gathered from google search. I plan on keeping this thread up to date on how this method turns out for me for people who have this problem in the future.
Thanks!

Sorry to here that. I've had herms a couple times and it was a waste of time and money, 1 herm can downgrade an entire garden. If only you had a couple weeks left i would pinch the balls off and let her finish, personally i would chop it.

I talked to somebody at my local grow store... From what he told me, I'm pretyy hopefull that I caught it early enough for the reverse to have a postitive effect on my crop. I was also told my yeild or potency shouldn't be affected. I've remove all visible pollen sacks and sprayed them early this morning. I still have another 4 weeks of buding left as of tomorrow so I will be keeping a very close eye on them for new pollen sacks and will most likely be spraying in another 10 days if need be.

Sorry to hear about that man, I may have a similar issue. Open to suggestions on the photo's. Barely anything resembling hair. Budlike but I think I have a herm.Attachment 283890Attachment 283891Attachment 283892

Just checked in on the girls after a 12hr dark period. mild discoloration of the pistols and the lower buds no other side affects other than that for now. I left a couple control sacks on on of the plants to see how the dutch master reverse would work and they seem to be dying off over night. No new sacks that i can see. so far so good.

Sorry to say but it looks like you have a herm as well. Although it looks like yours are a little more affected from what i can see. How many weeks in are you?

a little over 6 weeks into bud and my girls are doing great as far as the hermie issue goes. The reverse really did the trick minus a few draw backs to the spray. It really intensifed the heat and light(I would suggest spray right before lights off). I've delt with mutliple issues including; nitrogen toxicity, calcium defficency, over watering, and heat and light stress. All that aside I'm still pretty excited about this upcoming harvest. So heres a little bit of bud porn to celebrate. Thanks for readingAttachment 284170Attachment 284171Attachment 284172Attachment 284173
