Male have white hairs also??

[fishens]

Hi All,
I have only grown 3 previous plants..2 f, 1 m, & 1 m/f. I first saw a hair on this plant on 7/5, after putting her into flower on 6/24. My question... Shouldn't I be seeing more than just a very few white hairs by now? There are just a few and they are short. It has been awhile since my other plants, and I don't remember, but it seems like by now I was seeing a lot more a lot easier. Do male plants also show a few white hairs? Any and all responses appreciated. Thanks in advance.

No, they have little balls that are always balls..This is what they look like when they are mature.

Now if your talking about small traces of resin like this then yeah.

thats an awesome picture in that link!

[warningimhere]

so here is a picture of a what seems to be a largely male plant however coming out of the male ball things are hairs...i dont have a good enough camera to prove that it is a male ball, becuase coming out of the same pod where the hair is coming out is a bannana-like pollen thing with those beady things in the groove. I am pretty much determined that the plant is a hermy but i thought it would be seperate organs not all in one...

is this unheard of?

After about 15 minuets of staring at your avatar,........ :jointsmile:










































After, another,..... ahem,.... well, I won't go there....


Anyway! Yes, you seem to have a true hermaphrodite plant which will have both fully formed male and female parts,... or more commonly female and male parts.

As for answering the OP's post, a better description of what's going on is needed.

I'm sure I'll get flamed for this!

From the relative age and location of the flowers, it looks like it pre-flowered as a female then got stressed and went balls to da wall.
How dark is your night in veg and flower?

Notice the fact that the "pistils" seem to be sticking out of a pod on a stem? :wtf: when was the last time you saw a female flower on a stem like that?


My other option is photoshop. :wtf: pretty easy to do,... but why?


I'm not a believer in the whole light bleed thing causing hermies, EVERY SINGLE INDOOR GROW OF MY GDP WENT HERMI!!!!! :cursing: Yet!!!!! the other plants in the room didn't. :wtf: was there some slight light bleeds yes,.... but shouldn't they have effected them all? :detective1:

And if so,... why then didn't my GDP (grand daddy purple) go hermie when I grew it outdoors and it had all the local street lights bleeding onto it, plus the natural cycle of the moon that made it nearly bright enough to check the tricomes? :detective1:

Howzit C.W.?

Actually, that's my first.
But, it's what I'd expect to see if a female pre-flower suddenly changed persuasions aand joined da male majority.

Um, no.
Some strains clone easy, some don't.
Some hermie at the drop of a photon, some ya can't beat balls out of.

Had those very questions myself a while back, so I looked it up.
It seems that 0.5 Lux is an illumination threshold for Cannabis.

That's about Max for a full moon near the equator twice a year.

Anything less should be well below the trigger level for phytochrome conversion and will not mess with the photoperiodicity.

Got new neighbors next door and their porch light worried me.
As did the hellishly bright seeming streetlights from 2 other directions.
Hadda get a good Luxmeter anyway for my led work so I whipped it out before hassling the new neighbor.

Here's what I found.
The porchlight was 0.1 Lux by the time it reaches my girls.
So, no gotta bug nobody.
The streetlights from 2 other directions max at 0.2 Lux.

3 less things to worry about, yah? :jointsmile:

That's my story and ya'd have to bribe me off it.

That mate was one of the most useful things I've ever read in a forum. Thanks for that, been wondering myself too! :rastasmoke:

PS. Why can't I add rep to someone? :wtf:

This is a very good info you gave us Weezard. I approve!
I have some plants on balcony with full of street lights around + light from my window. No hermies at all. All were fine.
Maybe the plants which are don't know what is the total darkness, they're adapting to live with a little light at night?

Yet!!!!! the other plants in the room didn't. :wtf: was there some slight light bleeds yes,.... but shouldn't they have effected them all?

I had hermies with my current grow, they effected only from where the light leak was. Male flowers were only on those branches. Rest of the other branches are perfect female. Maybe yours were like that too?
