Looks all good.

Late into blooming, most morphs display what looks like a couple little yellow bananas coming out of the tops of the buds. Hard to explain. Pure male spore.

Here is a pic of one of my girls that turned at about 6 1/2 weeks....I ended up with a few seeds, but no real damage.

the reason i asked is i pulled one of those (not real sure what u call it) off and i opened it up a looked like it had a small seed in it forming and the plant i took the clones from when they were done and i harvest them they have seeds in it. not in the bud but below it under the bud site.

The issue I had, the "yellow" banana pistols (for lack of a better word) pollinated my plants. Not many, but the plant itself self-seeded as did two neighbors. Only a few seeds, but nice ones.

The seeds I got were inside the lower buds. If a plant is making seeds, it's at the end of it's life cycle. I am not sure that you can turn a plant around that is seeding, but looks like you are giving it a good try. If the cutting was from a morph, and is also displaying as a morph, if you manage to save it, it will most likely morph again when you try to bud it again.

Unless you want some seed, I wouldn't keep it.

Marijuana plants are very cool survivors. I find they morph when under stress usually.

It is survival. The female plant will make pollen and self pollinate, and pollinate neighbors. I have never seen this happen in a garden where males are allowed, only grows without males. The females want to make seed and survive. Most of the seeds produced from a hermie will be female also, but be careful, the trait can be passed on. I will collect the seeds from neighboring plants pollinated by a morph, but I don't collect the seeds from the morph itself.

That's how I understand it to work anyway :weed:

if u have several plants how would u know which one is the morph and which one is the neighbor? i must have over a 100 seeds from my last harvest (i was very sad to see that many) but i might try to grow a few and see what happens and hopfully they wont morph

The plant that puts out the male spore, the yellow looking banana spores like in the picture I posted. I don't collect the seeds from that plant usually. The seed from the surrounding plants that get pollinated are okay and usually more females than males.

Once you mix the seed up, you can't tell who is who. If you had a plant go hermie, it was probably because it was under stress of some sort. Just try not to stress your girls. Also, Dutch Master makes a product called "Reverse" that you spray the girls with 10 days after you start bud and it keeps them from going morph. I don't know if it works or not, I haven't had any hermies since I started using it, but I may not have had any either way.

Good luck
