Hi there!

I have 3 plants, a 4 ft 6ft and a 7ft and i am seeing some odd characteristics from the big one!

All plants have the whitish almost transparent pistils (is that the right word) and i think that is the female characteristically however the big one has small pods that look like either a pollen pod or a developing seed! I attach an image and would like some guidance on what it is and then the procedure to deal with it!

Thanks!

looks like its a hermie to me you may get the odd calayxe that looks similar to male pods but they look like full on bollox with the grouping.

Right, so would it be best to cut it so that it doesn't pollinate the fully female plant next to it?
also, If i break open one of the little sacks, it is all green and doesn't look fully developed yet; would it be okay to leave it a little longer to allow the female organs to develop a bit more then harvest and dry?

Kill it, and stop playing with the pollen.

get a pair of tweezers and pull all the male parts off and keep doing so throughout the grow, or cut it down and dont take any risks.

okay thansk for the advice! I shall cut it down. Is it worth drying it all out and that? if it is, should i remove the male parts?
