this is the only female i have.. she looks like shes been flowering great now day 5 of week 2.. there has been these two things that look like balls on two seperate side branches.. i have been watching them for a couple days, and neither have multiplied nor have i noticed it on other branches.. she looks as female as could be.. they are just single balls, maybe they are different growth.. i am not sure.. any help or comments on the plant would be appreciated this is master kush in foxfarm soil under 400 watt mh with foxfarm nutes 28 inches tall.. the first pic is the questionable ball.. the rest of the pics are signs of it being female

someone please tell me this isnt a hermie :spew::wall:

where do you see plenty? i've been going up and down on this plant and there is only 2 bals on the whole thing the rest are guaranteed female flowers.. i went this morning and i was only able to find ONE ball on the whole plant.. the other one magically dissapeared so i cut the whole fucking branch with the ball off now this plant is ball free

is there any saving her? please look at all pics before

ok im not very good at taking pictures.. but here are some more.. there are bud sites all over and all i can see on the rest of the plant is pistils all over the place.. at this point im already convinced that the balls start at the bottom, work their way up and your whole plant goes hermie and it just hasnt happened to me yet.. i hope someone can tell me im wrong.. atleast ill still get seeded bud off of it, but after all this work and money put into this.. i was really hoping this plant would hold me over til my next harvest.. heres some pics

a couple more pics.. theyre not great but theres alot of them. i will get a better camera soon i tried adding pics showing pistils but my camera wont capture em.. i must have found about 25 - 30 pistils (on the branches, not the bud sites)..

that first pic looks like an open male pod. from the rest of the pics i see female hairs. i've heard of pre-flowers showing the wrong sex before but have never seen it. maybe i've seen it now. i'd remove any balls and keep a close eye out for more.

for some reason the idea of a hermie plant makes me litarelly sick along with smoking male flowers.. when it grows full hermie do the male and female flowers blend together? or am i just going to get seeded female buds? i think i can handle that

hermies still grow good bud so dont worry, itll be fine. just keep a close eye on it and rip any balls off as soon as you find them, just the balls not the branches.
even if you do get a few seeds it can be a good thing if its some good bud.
plants looking alright.

but do the male and female buds intertwine and grow together?

yes i am a moron for ripping out that branch this morning.. it felt like beating a child.. i think i did it just because she dropped a ball, so i wanted to hurt her a bit and show her what happens when more come.. atleast thats how I justify it you never know it may be an effective way to combat hermies

i think my plant was hermie from birth i did everything right besides used bagseed....i think it was from a hermie mother most likely and thats why it happens:wall:
