How could 2 ppp feminized turn male?

[bigbud751]

I haven't been doing this too long. I am learning more everyday and there is a lot to learn! I have 6 donor plants. I grew 10 ppp feminized seeds and took out the best 2, 10 days into floweing all. They looked fine and all of the other 8 are female and flowering great. I put the 2 into soil and under a 400w light and now about 5 weeks later they have the little balls growing everywhere! Where I took cuttings from om the branches they are growing like a bunch of bananas. Should I just throw out and start over or is there a way for me to tell for sure they will be ok? They never showed any sign until lately.

you must have just stressed them out so much that they turned hermi. when you ask "will they be ok?"...yeah, they will be just fine! but they will never be females. get rid of them unless you want a seeded crop.

Is there any other way I can make sure? The more I look at it, it almost looks like those little balls are like the buds starting. They look different than the balls that start when a plant shows male.

well if you can post a pic that would be ideal. if there are a lot of pistils sticking out of those little balls that you think could be buds forming, that's a good sign you are dealing with a female plant. but male balls grow in little bunches, so i think that would fit your description of a bunch of bananas. the only way to know for sure what your plant is, is to see pollen, lol. as the plant ages it should become more obvious as to what it is, because either the buds will grow more, or more balls will pop up. a picture would be the only way we can tell you what's going on.

I am going to try to get a pic on here in the next day or so....
