Is this a Male, Female, or Hermie ??

[dono1972]

Hi Everyone,
Im new to this grow stuff here, and have a White Widow (WW) plant here.
I ordered femanized seeds.
Anyhow, a week or so into flowering, I saw the two little white hairs, and I also have 3 skunk plants going here also.
I got rid of a couple plants that showed the 3 ball cluster right away, I used a high powered magnifying glass 30X power to determine this..
I grew the plants to about 2-1/2 to 3 feet tall, then started the bloom cycle.
OOPS,, they kept growing another 2-3 feet, and I had to start bending them sideways, wich worked out pretty descent, because now theres more there for the picking.
Anyhow, about 3-1/2 weeks into bloom, the WW plant shows these little sack type shapes coming off the bud sites, and theres two little white hairs coming out of them also.
Is this how the female makes its big juicy buds, or is it a male or a hermie ?
I dont want to ruin the other 3 plants if its male or hermie.
I need a little info or advice here please.
Heres some pics of some of the buds.
Thanks for any help or advice.

I don't see any male flowers but I do see seeds. There were male flower at one time.

no, you are fine, what your talking about is female yes, those little white hairs are called pistils, they catch the male pollen, the rain-drop shaped puffy bit that the pistil grows from, is called the calyx, which is where the seed develops. bud is basically just false seed pods.

If pollenated early enough, the calyx will produce a seed, which should inherit the genes of its parents, like people, however, if the female calyx is pollenated too late, it will try to turn into a male 'stamen', which usually results in little clumps of 'bananas', these are a bright yellow colour, and if you find any should be plucked immediately (and carefully) with tweezers so as not to spread any more pollen.

Feminized seeds (which you have) are created by stressing a mother into becoming a hermaphrodite, then the pollen obtained will be used to pollenate itself, thus creating femanized seeds.. however, if the mother went hermie of its own accord (not through stress) it most probably has 'hermie' imprinted deep into its genetics, so any 'feminized seeds' obtained from the cross would be useless

hope that helped... good luck, and nice plant

OK,,, when you say Im OK,,, does this meen I can keep it with the other 3 plants ?
I found the two male plants in the first few days, and carefully cut and removed them from the grow area.
I wasnt posotive on one plant, so I removed it anyway..
I guess I still dont understand what I should do with this plant ?
Will it make good buds, or should I just remove it, and concentrate on the other 3 plants ?
Thanks,

I can't see the whole plant by that picture. It will be fine with the other plants, just make sure there are no other male flowers any were on the plant.

Heres some more pics.

ab i always thought pistils were the male part and Stigmas(how we remembered it StickyStigma) was the part that caught the pollen?

i could be wrong...

looks like fems..with some seeds

[M1K3]

The hairs on a female plant are the stigmas. Pistils are the yellow bannana shaped things you see when the male flower opens.

No,

[dono1972]

No,

No, I shouldnt keep it, or no, I shouldnt worry about it ??
Im thinking maybe I should move it away from the other plants, but it will be in a room thats not made for growing, and the Im guessing there a few weeks off blooming left for it.
If this is a female plant, with seeds, what should I do with the seeds, will they be fem seeds, or just seeds ?
Is this plant worth cloning, I have a few clones that are showing roots now ?
Thanks everyone, I appreciate the help and info.
I cant belive how time consuming and expensive this stuff is, but its kinda a fun hobby..
