Hermie? Ball-like structures with stigmas growing out of it

unfiltered said:

I have a Super Lemon Haze that's been flowering from seed for about 5 weeks. At the 4th week, I noticed these ball-like structures that look like male balls but there are stigmas (pistils/hair) that are growing out of it. It's really bizard. From far away, they look like balls for sure, but upon close inspection and I opened one up, there are stigmas growing out of it. Take a look at these photo.

And look at how SLH grow buds. There are a few branches that shot out without any leaves but calyxes only. Are most sativa flowers or grows buds like this?

Anyway, what do you think? Is this hermie or not? Thanks!

Holy shit that's the worst Hermie I've ever seen I can't believe you didn't throw that plant in the garbage weeks ago

Well, the crazy thing is that those balls are growing pistils and I have not seen any pollens. Of course, I had already chopped off the balls. We'll see if she would throw out more balls and finish.

Indeed, as someone said every grow is a lesson. I will for sure keep you guys/gals posted once the transgender finishes.

I have traveled not so far, but I have learned a lot. Listen to my own gut but keep an open ear to others' viewpoints.

Here, I present to you Super Lemon Haze from the OP, full on hermie lady/boy at week 9 with one more to go. Open the tent is like enter a lemonade factory.

I listened to my gut and stayed loyal to her. Culled her from the flowering tent and gave her her own tent. I picked off all the balls and "nanners". Found only one opened male flower with pollen on one leaf, so I of course removed the male flower. For many other nanners, they never mature to the point where they would open before I could pick them off. Most of the balls/nanners grew in clusters, so it was not too bad picking them off.

I smoked some of the balls, lol, and calyxes cut at week7; and lo and behold, got a very nice full body stone and some head high.

Look at her now. yummy! I will surely report the chop and smoke report. And of course, see if there are any seeds or any at all. In a way, I kinda want some seeds and don't care if they are hermie prone, but surely there might be a gem in there somewhere.

Lessons learned. Don't discriminate against hermie. Listen to my own guts.
