im 99% sure its hermie? do you think it is?

i had a look at them today and noticed what i though was pollen sacks i hope they are because I've already chopped him/her down so he/she didnt pollinate the others i thought it would be better to get rid of him/her than to risk having seeds im my weed because.

trainwreck has about 5 weeks to go
auto ak47 has about 4 weeks to go
bagseed has about 5 weeks to go

im absolutely gutted because this auto blueberry only had about 2 weeks to go.

And you are very right! Its gonna get alot worse I'd say, alot of male flowers on it already! chuck it now! And clean your hands after. Put a bag over it before you move it to stop spreading anymore pollen than it has already.

You can still dry and smoke it, just be verycareful while trimming it, keep your grow sealed while trimming, and for awhile after. Basically, do everything you can while trimming and drying to keep pollen away from your other plants. Ideally, cover it in a bag, and take it to someone elses house to do everything, and even then, I would take a change of clothes and shower and change before going home.

Yeah be damn glad you got that out of there, makes me wonder what the seeds (cause you almost certainly got seeded by one you didn't see) will be like. Props on keeping your eyes open and catching these, gets harder and harder the bigger your grow gets. Any seeding you did get will, most likely, be extremely minor probably because you chopped her (it) in good time.

That late in flowering, it may be a stressed female. I just had the same thing happen from stress. The plant gets stressed and tries to reproduce the only way it knows how. At least, that is my understanding. People call these "stress bananas".

Seeds from hermies have a higher chance of being hermies themselves, that doesn't mean they will be hermies, but just keep a very close eye on them.
And you are pretty much guarentted some seeds, those male flowers have already done their business... I hope for your sake that its not too bad...

Lol... no need for bee's n stuff, just one male flower can make 100+ seeds, and their pollen floats miles in the air. Seeds are guarenteed i'm afraid mate...

Don't wanna scare you too much, you should be ok, and your weed will stil be ok too, you will just lose strength and weight to the seeds.
I had a minor hermie plant awhile back (maybe 20-30 male flowers most of which i removed before they opened) still ended up with about 100 seeds in total on the other 8 plants.

i heard somewhere that the hermie seeds are suppose to be all female or close to it, i could be totally wrong but i got a lot of hermie seeds from a small grow i did a little while back and was wondering should i chuck them or keep?

The plant I had that got these was right near the intake air when it was cold, and stress bananas popped up. I am gonna make you a gentleman's bet, and bet that you will not even have any seeds from that batch. At least not from that plant. Thanks for the confirmation, Shaps122. More growers deal with these than you know.

No, though I did get about 70% females on average from my hermie seeds. But about 20% of those turned out hermie also. So use them if you want, just watch them close and be prepared to chuck some. Though if you can find non-hermies in them, I would guess they would be ok for mother plants.
