Below are a few pics of my Amnesia Haze buds...completing 7 weeks of flower tomorrow of a scheduled ten week stage. Are they going hermie? I took a tiny sample to check progress n reckon i found a little immature nugget of seed in amongst the bud after i'd ground it up! If they are herm should I harvest asap or what? Should I mist them with water perhaps to neutralise any pollen..?WP_20190801_10_27_29_Pro.jpg WP_20190801_10_27_06_Pro.jpg WP_20190801_10_26_42_Pro.jpg WP_20190801_10_26_22_Pro.jpg WP_20190801_10_26_08_Pro.jpg WP_20190801_10_25_13_Pro.jpg WP_20190801_10_24_56_Pro.jpg WP_20190801_10_24_44_Pro.jpg

I can't tell from your photos, what caused this, but they look pretty close to being done.
Are all your plants clones or from individual seeds? Are they all showing male flowers or just some?

I wouldn't rely on spraying them with water as being fail safe. It might help control some pollen, but it might also cause unintended consequences such as mold etc.

Sometimes genetic hermies occur even in the perfect setup, but often hermies appear as a result of light bleed fucking with the light / dark cycle.

If they're inside, make sure your timer is operating correctly and make sure there's no light leaks.
If they're outside, a porch light, frequent car headlights or a street light might be giving your girls ideas.

If no light bleed is present, might want to try new seeds next time.

the plants are outside...though i've been bringing 'em inside on an evening to make them flower...they're from individual seeds..I'm not even sure if i can see male flowers on any of them tbh....I just found the suspect seedy lookin thing in last nights sample n now i'm maybe paranoid that every curved leaf or new pistil is actually the beginning of a banana plantation that's gonna fuck my crop at this late stage....I was just hoping to get some objective eyes on my plants....if i hadn't mentioned hermies and just said 'what do u think of my Amnesia , 7 weeks into flower?' would you hav mentioned bananas or hermies...i hope i'm being paranoid!

I'm old and stubborn. Where's my damn glasses? Lol. You might benefit from another opinion of somebody who can see better.

It's possible stray pollen could have nailed a pistil or two, At this stage it's not likely your withered pistils will be easy to pollinate. In a sense your plant is in menopause.

Thx for your input...I feel somewhat reassured...I'll leave them to carry on their business for the remaining three weeks...the sample i took and quick dried was very encouraging....so i hope i'll be v pleased after theyve had the optimum time and been hung dry n cured correctly...thx again :)
