Hermi Question pics

Unknown bag seed. this could be an auto strain it flowered early just worried it could be going hermi on me. there are no seeds in the buds that it is producing. thanks

any thoughts on why this one has purple in the center of the pre flowers or tops. the main stem tis starting to show some purple on it also right at the nodes and up.

I didn't see any ball bags it looks pretty fem, as long as those tear drops have a couple hairs sticking out your good

yeah what he said ^^
sometimes purple MAIN stems mean a magnesium deficiency, sometimes they're just purple, like Hex said.

eta i just saw it's on the leaves too. probably genetic, or google.com usually works for me
eta 2: you live up north, does your plant experience drops in temperature at night?
 
I think I see it - I got seeds from Dank Seeds, Attitude Seed bank. Ghost Train Haze. After I sexed them, got females, killed males. I then flowered the females. I got hermis with almost all females except one. The male pollen sacs were inside the female sac. - if you break open that sac you had your thumb on, you will see the 'bannanas' of the male. Hermis CAN be a male sex organ on a female plant, but also expect a strange female sac with the male organs inside. I wish I had a photo..

You will have two choices - early harvest as soon as trichromes go cloudy. Or continue and hope the pollenation will not seed the plant too bad. A few seeds are ok..

Never use seeds from a unknown source - as they can be a result of a hermi plant.

Some seeds are bred for indoors - the plant develops traits where it prefers the total darkness of indoor growroom lights off - over outdoors, with moonlight..The hermi could be stress due to light, temp, humidity, pot size, watering cycle, etc.

On bagseed, your chances of growing a herm are very high due to the fact that contemporary cannabis is incredibly hybridized. Despite anything else, you'll noticed that the pungent, resin'ee odor will start to diminish as it diverts energy to seed production rather than bud production. The pistils (or hairs) will turn red from the base up, instead of from the tips in. That means pollination has occurred.

The little 'thing' you were highlighting in your third photo is not a male part. It's called a Bract, although people almost always mistakenly call it a calyx. The calyx, is however, inside the bract. A little cannabis nomenclature for your reading pleasure.

I would say, expect it to turn on you, simply because it's bagseed. And that seed was formed through some type of stress or other genetic predisposition. Consider this: Corn farmers have to buy seed corn every spring. Why don't they just keep some of the corn they grew? It is, after all, corn seed. Well, it's the cross of the two plants that makes that corn grow a certain way, and yeild and resist and so forth. But the seeds IT creates is not a duplicate of itself. Cannabis behaves, genetically, the same way.

Someone else here mentioned other herm problems with seeds they've purchased. There's plenty of 'pollen chuckers' in cannabis, too. That's why you buy into strains that sound great, you love the company logo and brag about how fast you got your junk beans, but when rubber meets the road and you've chopped your plants down 5 weeks into budding and lost more than just the money you paid for shit beans. Time. You lost Time.
 
It seems to be doing pretty normal now its been a few weeks now. I do live closer to up north and the temp does drop at night Mix and that is an excellent pic :).
 
Thanks for the info digital nomad. That one is unknown genetics. I normally run seeds from seed banks but got some from a friend so I ran them. I will harvest fairly early on that one. It went into flower way early so that could be stressing it also.
 
The pistils are turning red from the tip in.nopolinatuion according to punk :) thanks for the info piun.k. I will have some reading to do. My phone sucks and doesn't allow me to correct typos correctly. Appologies.
 
The clones from bag seed turned out to have about 10 seeds total in them and yielded around 3 oz a piece. Decent average outdoor. We started getting some bud rot as the humidity in the middle of the summer was around 40 and we had nugs while the others were in veg still.That reminds me that while it was that hot we did some trimming of the lower branches of the bigger Pure Kushes to help air flow lower on the plant i thought to myself these look like perfect cuttings for clones. I popped three of them in the soil Pro Mix (not technically soil) all three took and we ot about 2 oz off them.
