Hello,
I need some help identifying a possible 'hermie'. The plant has 5 main branches four of which are developing colas and have the white hairs. The last one has no hairs and what looks to be 'balls', but I'm not sure.
Here are some pictures, I know they suck, but please help me out!!

Pix are not focused enough to make out any detail. If hermaphroditic then remove male flowers before they mature and allow female branches to finish floral cycle. Remove any more male flowers as they appear throughout floral cycle.

Thanks.
Where should I cut them? Should I get rid of that branch, at the stalk, entirely? If I do, will two grow back in it's place and if so will they be 'male' as well?
I would honestly rather get rid of it than risk seeds. But I hate to get rid of a plant that is flowering as I have a lot of time and $$ invested into them.
Thanks for your time and knowledge I truly appreciate it.

Just pinch'm off where they develop but if it's only 1 branch I'd remove it. However, because of the hermaphroditic trait, cutting the branch off may stress the plant to much and it may spontaneously begin producing male flowers on all parts of plant. Better to cull plant than risking pollinating all your plants.

Some of the best weed I've ever smoked had seeds. 
For me, the goal is THC = Buzz. I'll take a half Z of super killer before I'd take a Z of just killer. But this is my opinion and I'm probably wrong.

I say get rid of the hermie all together! If you miss a male flower it could ruin your entire crop. Did you know a fertilzed feamale hemp flower is 80% seed. That means only 20% smoke for you if you miss only one tiny male flower. Its not worth the risk in my opinion.

word YGF....this new age philosphy flies so in the face of my direct experience. I have total faith that our current efforts will not go unrewarded, and we can once again smoke weed circa 1970....
and dispell these myths of seedless MJ and the current standard for indoor grows.

Oh for some 'gagger' weed. In the old days, in order for weed to have this high honor placed on it, the weed had to: 1) go down real smooth; 2) taste like only outdoor weed taste; and then 3) explode when it hits your lungs. Causing the gagging reflex _ much like waterboarding.
If I cultivate a stain I'm gonna name it YGF Gagger
I'm tired of all of this tooty fruity shit. Bubble gum, strawberry, blueberry, apple pie, your vote counts. Give me some good old Northern Lights, Skunk, Haze, Big BudSorry...

What can I say, I'm a young buck who has never been able to afford more than swag and dirt. I have bought weed where when I was done cleaning I felt like I had taken the weed out of the seed rather than vice-versa.
I don't mind some seeds, but sensimilla has to be my goal.
The Gagger, that is good stuff I had read those postings on your journal YGF. The YGF Gagger, now that sounds like a killer strain!

Smoke a few joints of some good sensi _ great song by Sublime.
Grow the best weed you can man.....Don't be afraid to dream, to fail, to build & to succeed. If you don't make mistakes, you ain't trying!
Of course, that is just my opinion and I'm probably wrong

Ohh Sublime is some great smoke music.
I saw red, santaria, man those are some great songs.
I have a friend who actually got to see them here in the rockies on a small show before anyone really knew who they were. He said it's the best concert he ever attended. Only about 4-500 people in a small venue.

Tahoe & YGF, I wanted to get your feelings on this.
I read recently that once the female plant begins to produce seeds, she devotes all energy and resources to that task. When a plant never produces seeds, she devotes all enery and resources to producing buds and THC. Which in turn should produce stronger weed?
Just something I read and wanted to get your thoughts.
I know that when I can afford some 'kind bud' it usually has minimal seeds whereas the 'dirt and swag' I normally afford is sometimes, not always, loaded with seeds, and I know from my experience which was better.

Thanks Rocky for visiting my journal and for the comment, I'll give you a piece to eat if you want
I haven't been through your hole journal yet but I'd like to say that I really like your flowering chamber very creative, very cool, the chamber gives me some good ideas for a tent to separate my bubblegum during veg, also from what I seen thus far your shit is looking great, looks like it won't be long for you as well..
Keep up the great work, will be back and forth....

Humboldt,
thanks for stopping by, yeah I love your journal, I like the CFL's so far, but I'm thinking of getting a 250w HPS at months end. It's $200 at a local shop and on the 28th they have a 15% off sale so, $175 or so. I hope it will be worth it.
I have a question for ya. I notice that you don't have any type of 'hoods' around your cfl's. I have cheap hoods over each and can fit 2 bulbs in there. Without the hoods I can get 4 or more. Do you think I should ditch the hoods? I have black/white poly lining the room so I should get good reflection?
Whatcha think?
