Hi everyone,
recently started growing a lemon kush from seeds (brought from female seeds.nl) and out of the 20 plants i planted i noticed 3 have ball looking things growing on them. The plants have been put in flower on the 22nd of november 2015 after a 30 day veg at 18/6 and is currently on day 23 of its flower cycle. Will be harvesting on day 63 after 9 weeks of flowering, but the 3 plants that have these balls growing on them i can't tell if they are hermie or not. Have done some research and some are saying it could be swollen calyx, one of the plant have white hairs coming out of the balls its too fine to be captured on camera but it there and on the others no hairs just balls.
I pinched a few of the balls off the plants and have opened it up i don't know weather to leave them outside for natural growth or leave them in my grow room.

Ive posted pics of what these balls look like, have a look and please any advice on what to do and how to get rid of them will be much appreciated.

Thank you and have a good day :)balls1.jpg balls2.jpg balls3.jpg balls4.jpg balls5.jpg balls6.jpg balls7.jpg balls8.jpg balls1.jpg balls2.jpg balls3.jpg balls4.jpg balls5.jpg balls6.jpg balls7.jpg balls8.jpg

yes…or you have some "straight" males

Unless you want the rest of your female plants to get pollinated, you'd best cull those males/hermies asap.

These are fem seeds? They look total male not even a fem flower
they are female, the pistils have come out and have just started to bud. The balls are below the flowers. look closely on the other branches you may be able to see some signs of it being a female.

Yeah those look to be all male. Just looked at their website they're having a special on lemon kush. No bs. Was this the first time getting seeds from them?
Hi,

femmed seed,if done right 99.9% fem.yea fuck with genetic hermies you got a 20% chance of all fem.If the gene is there it's a problem. Not so with good breeders.
