Is This a Hermie or Just Leaves?

I thought I had a female but then.....

I just noticed this tonight when the lights turned back on. They are on day 15 of 12/12 and this is the ONLY place on the entire plant that this is taking place. Everywhere else seems to be budding great.

What should I do with this plant?
Any advice/knowledge is appreciated greatly.
Thanks in advance for any responses!

Here are a couple of pictures of it:

Those shots you posted look like male for sure

If you have the female hairs as well then I'm thinking yes, you have a hermie on your hands

ya man thats a hermie :( i don't really have any experience with it...but is it your only plant?
i would think it might be ok if you just cut that limb off at the bass and give it about an extra week of flower to help it recover??

i'm no expert so don't get mad if i'm wrong but i'm sorry for your loss either way

I have 2 plants total. The other 1 is definitely female (looking great)...

Do they take longer to show if they are hermies? Before tonight they looked totally female with bud sites everywhere with no signs of balls on any of them.

Usually, yes, hermies take longer to show what they are as they tend to be from degraded genetics if not a rare anomaly

They usually show males first....so you yank them before they pollinate. But hermies im not sure when. Anybody????

Buuuummmmmmmeeeeeerrrrrr!

Thank for all of your help! Since I have absolutley zero room for another place to grow it, it looks like I have some chopping to do. Now I'm down to 1...Hopefully she doesn't feel like growing balls.....+ rep to all and to all a good night!

make cfl rubbbermaid box thats what i did for my hermie or finish it outdoors
i think i will get a oz off it now it went for 4 weeks of hps then hermed then it went under 5 23 watt cfl
so it wont yield as much as others but it will have some smoke on it

That would definitely be the way to go, however the I have no room for something that may end up growing up to about 9 feet or so (it was already 38")

This was like every other noob's 1st grow, a ton of trial and error and what seemed to be more disappointments than positives. I learned a lot and in about 50-60 more days (fingers crossed), I will get my first crop and start the next grow with a bit more structure and I will get more room in the future to start with a few more than 4 plants.

-Life Rolls On!

no you can top it and train it but i dont do anything i cut botton out off 2 shallow rubber maids because they r cheaper then stack those on top a 27 gallon one and use sheet rock srcews to secure and one 27 gal for the bottom computer fan pulling air in and 2 pulling air out at top cheap simple setup

This is something I will do on the next grow (if ,of course, I need to) I will be moving into a place that has more than 1 ridiculously small closet to use...lol

Thanks for the info fabfun.

Making hash sounds like a perfect thing to do! Do you have any resources or knowledge of how to make hash? I started to look up how to make it but with all the knowledge needed to start growing, and the different specifications per specific stages, that pretty much took over my mind this time around.
