I say herm too, unless that's a very strange looking calyx

From the looks of the last pic, I'd venture to say you stressed the fuck out of her by over feeding a high in Nitrogen diet...
...and you said,"That's one of the greatest smokes i've ever had guys, give me some hope."...well you can clip the sacs off...or...you could grow her out and collect those feminized beans she will produce...me I would collect the beans and some pollen for future use...and I would try not to feed too much next time, as she is apparently easily stressed...good luck...

Hermie.. Just pick off that one flower... Don't kill the plant, unless you have 50 plants if you only have a couple, let it go, keep an eye out for more male flower and try to pick them off before they pop.
didn't see RIK's post... I second what he said.

I personally wouldn't waste my time again on a hermie. Lots of work picking off the balls and the smoke was awful.
If it's you're only plant then you can only pick off the balls and try. If you have other females in the same grow space you are going to end up with lots of seedy buds.

But I have a hermie and its my only flowering plant so are the seeds good to use in a grow or will they be hermies too??

Well I once grew 7 plants from bag seed that a friend gave me. 3 were male and the other 4 were hermies by week 3 of 12/12 so I tend to think that it was most likely all genetic.
I've never had a problem with hermies prior or since without any huge changes to grow technique.

So seeds from a hermi are fem? I always heard hermi seeds have a very high chance to be herms themselves. I could be wrong no experiwnce with it myself just going by alll the info I've read.

I guess we have to try it then to find out
How the heck did you figured that out man? that's exactly what was going on with this plant, it had nitrogen toxicity, leaves were dark green almost black with the tips curled down. I semi flushed it and it looks better now. Argggg i wish i could tell sooner but i am still a noob and i am learning the signs of the plants. So whats the story now? I definately don't want to chop (her/him)! I will be removing those sacks that's not a problem , i visit my girls everyday. But if it polinates itself and the others, which seeds will be good? and what to expect now if i keep her/him?Less bud and more seeds? thnxFrom the looks of the last pic, I'd venture to say you stressed the fuck out of her by over feeding a high in Nitrogen diet......and you said,"That's one of the greatest smokes i've ever had guys, give me some hope."...well you can clip the sacs off...or...you could grow her out and collect those feminized beans she will produce...me I would collect the beans and some pollen for future use...and I would try not to feed too much next time, as she is apparently easily stressed...good luck...
Hello i have heard that fem seeds come from hermies that's why they have tendeny to herm when they stress out. Also the chances are 97% fem 3%herm from a hermie.Don't really know that's some information i googled at night...

Just take off the balls, you'll be fine. Chances are most of the male flowers the plant throws because of stress will be sterile, so even if you miss a couple you'll probably be fine. If it seeds a couple of buds, be happy you have fem seeds now and just be more careful when you grow them since you know they can get stressed. If you treat them right they probably won't grow into herms. I doubt that you will notice a drastic reduction in the quality, anyhow

It all depends on how much of a hermie it is. If you notice lots of male flowers kill it... If only a couple, don't, in the end it's your weed.

Heres an idea. What if you put wax on the balls? Wouldn't that make it so the pollen couldn't come out?

@doobiekid...... Where the heck did you come up with that idea?? That's thinking outside of the box and I like it! Playing it through my mind... I don't see why this wouldn't work.
the only problem I see is smoking the wax but it's easy enough to pick around it..

I had this idea for a long time... I never saw anyone post about it so I thought it was a stupid idea that wouldnt work... But in reality I coulda been the only one who thought of it... Id say dont cut em, wax dem nuts.

Well, from now on you know......
I wonder how how many inventions and cures for disease are not available because the person who thought of them said.... "Nah, it's a stupid idea!".
=)
For a clean cut, that only gets the male flower, could also use a wart clippers... Not that I have ever had to use them, they look quite painful......

Well I tried to test my theory out but I've never got a hermie. Fuck, I even tried to get a hermie. Overdosing nutes, overwatering, underwatering, fucking up the light periods.. Nada hermie. And I also had a wax theory about root rot. Lets say you got a rotting plant.. what if you cut off the bad roots, dipped the tips of the roots in wax at the tip of where you cut.... it'd basically smother and kill the bacteria.. but the thing is, would the roots try and grow where the wax is, or be smart and branch the roots out above the wax. o__o
