Planted a Nirvana Blue Mystic That Never Auto'd. Switched it to 12/12 on its 7th week. I am not seeing any pistils yet but i do see what appears to be a cluster of nuts. Very Disapointed if it is male but will be okay with a hermie as it is my only plant. Can Hermies spit out nuts and pistils at the same time?

Very low in this case.
You probably have a straight male.
You would've already seen pistils if it was a hermie.

No pistils and jus sacks... possibly all male. If it does hermie jus keep plucking off the sacks. You dont want it to pollinate and make seeds. Those seeds will have a high hermie rate as well... just a headach if u ask me... good luck.

If it has balls first then pistils, it would be a backwards hermie. These are not that common. I had a Papaya male also from Nirvana that reverse hermied on me. I chucked it out then read an article by a breeder that said these type of plants produce good pollen and usually the offspring are female and have good resin production. I do not know if this is true, but I wish I had not trashed it.....

The sacks dont look like balls. they are teardropped and there is a place where three og them are together on an alternating node at the top.
