Have my plants gone hermie?

I have no idea at all.... I switched out my expensive timer for a cheaper one, only to have it fail so I'm assuming the light had been on for 24 hours for days, it was complete luck that I checked on it. Chances are it has gone hermie and as a precaution I have ordered some dutch master saturator and reverser in a hope to limit the dmg.

I just need some confirmation that these have in fact turned due to stress from the constant light... I'm still holding onto to some hope that they haven't though no matter how slim the chances are.

Ps. apologies for the picture quality for some reason cameras don't like the light in my setup. Any tips for photos in this type of light?

I see nothing but female flowers.....But I can see very little. Too low quality of pics. Try to take a nice, clear close-up of the flower sites you suspect!!

I have looked at some pics and threads, but I can not tell, that's the point of the thread, I need someone with more experience to tell me as close to 100% certain as possible. This is only my 2nd grow....

Your pictures are extremely out of focus, too far away, and the exposure is all blown out. Can't tell anything from them.

Turn off the HPS and use regular lighting or camera flash. Set your camera to macro mode and manually focus on the part you want us to see. If you're using a cell phone, use regular lighting and get in as close as possible while the camera can still hold focus.

ok here's the best I can do atm, if it's not clear enough I'll borrow a portable light and try again tomorrow. Sorry if this is wasting your time guys.

The pictures are very low-quality. . . looking at pic 5 in the first post it seems like I can see some pollen sacs but I'm not 100% due to the pictures! Based on what you see, is there calyxes and pollen sacs (cluster of nanners)? If so yes you have a hermie

I bet if you are struggling enough to tell whether they are hermie that you felt the need to post this thread then there are no male flowers. You seem like you know what you're doing to me, and are just panicking a little due to an unexpected fuck up that wasn't particularly your fault. Look carefully (again, because you obviously already have, probably a few times) - are there male flowers? There aren't are there? Which is what you want confirmed. If there were male flowers you would have identified them and photographed them - rather than photographing everything in the hope of a random ID.

I've had a tent full of flowering girls get an accidental 30mins of lights on in the middle of 12/12 for a week before I noticed. Only two of the seven girls in there developed male flowers. It isn't definite. Chill until you see something definite, then post that. Till then, send a prayer to the sensi god and accept what's done is done. :peace:

I don't see any clusters, but you guys are probably right I am panicking, as a preventative measure I have bought some dutch masters saturator and reverser just in case. Thanks for the help everyone, really sorry I don't have a good camera or a decent mobile phone to take a good picture.

Updated pic with torch light at the buds I suspect could be male. P08-02-13_11.40.jpg The buds in the center of the pic if it's clear enough.

Are you growing Dr Grinspoon or just not giving them enough light?

I do not see any balls on sticks without trichomes.
