Please note that occassionally specious staminate flowers will appear in the last days of flowering of a female plant. These do not drop pollen and their appearance is not considered evidence of deleterious hermaphroditism.

toss em out? fuck no! they will be fine, just pluck any male flowers off as soon as you see em(check everyday) plants will naturally start putting out male flowers in a desperate attempt to breed towards tje end of flowering sometimes(some strains are more prone to this that others) even if that wasnt the case hermies still make bud and if you are careful about looking the plant over everyday you will catch all the male flowers before they can even do anything so your girl will not be exposed to pollen if you do so. dont worry about the tiny amount of stress cutting the male flowers off right away at all, its nothing to cause concern, flowers are dying naturally all over the plant.

FOR SURE don't toss those out.. Geeeeez. I remember not toooo long ago where hermies were the only thing most people smoked because they didn't even know what sensimilla was. It is still good smoke even if you don't get all of the balls off of it. That much work and waiting....smoke it. By the way they look pretty good if you ask me.

Look anything like this?
The plant smells a bit different then the rest for some reason.
I got these at day 33 of flowering and then i just pulled them off with tweezers. No more popped up and the rest of my ladies were fine!

Some strains are genetically prone to hermie as well, but usually its from stress...especially interrupted night cycles.
