WHAT YOU GOT THERE IS A POLLINATED FEMALE. one of those plants went hermi on ya. but that is not a male flower that is a pollinated female calyx

really??????? hhhhmmmmm i pulled another plant out a few weeks ago that i though was a herm... could it have pollinated then or would this have happened more recent? I did pull a bunch of these same pods a few weeks ago off this same plant thats pictured but these started growing back over the last couple days. should i keep this plant in flower? it seems like the damage may have already been done. None of my other plants are showing any of these so i`ve got my fingers crossed they stay that way. Thanks for all the help!!!!

it looks like it got pollinate around 7-14 days ago maybe a lil longer. seeds mature fast. if its only a few who the fuck cares!!!! grow that shit, chop that shit, cure that shit, SMOKE THAT SHIT!!!!!!

HAHahah well at least there`s a silver lining to it and not a complete waste.... Sorry for all the questions but this my first grow. But from what i`ve been reading the white hairs will turn brown if they have been pollinated right? As i`m looking at the plant i see a few spots (not many maybe like half a dozen)where the hairs have turned brown and are curling up a bit i`m expecting this is where seeds should start forming then right? You guys rock thanks again +rep!

When a female plant is pollinated it uses more energy for the seeds which decreases the percentage of the THC. Im pretty sure this is true but i dont know this for a fact.

ok so i took some more pics of the little pods today and pulled them off just to see what they look like opened up. They dont look like balls or seeds forming but more like little bananas. The second pics i opened it up and it looks like it had pollen in it, you can see the dust in the picture. I don`t know? you guys still think it`s a pollinated female? these are also growing by themselves at the lower nodes. Don`t seeds usually form in the buds of females?

Those are male pollen sacks. You can try to keep picking them off, as they grow. Do you have other females in with her/him?

There not much you can do except, isolate it into another little grow space with a bunch of cfls, You'll get some seeds out of it that way, and some bud. And its not a total waste. Even if you have to pick up some cheap lights, that you can use later anyways.

Also just because hairs are turning brown doesnt mean its seeding or a herm. It means its starting the final phases of the flowering stage.

*sorry I can become a broken record with posting, its more like an instant message for me.*
