So I'm pretty sure I've got a full blown hermie here. I'll leave it up to you guys to tell me what I already know.









Not the greatest pictures but I'm sure they tell the tale.

All the other plants are in the same room and no issues. That is the only one with issues, it's a space bomb. The other plants I have in there Jillybean and another space bomb. The other spacebomb is good. The jilly has been good.

I'm sorry. GRown in SS, water going is is 6.7 every single time. I don't use anything else. There are ZERO light leaks. All other plants show no signs of anything wrong. Temps are around 75 and 65 in the low points. The other spacebomb is a brick house though. It was the only plant in the box for a while. The whole time it started out it had a light leak and when i transplanted I ripped off the bottom half of it's roots It took 3 weeks to get this far in flower but not a single nut. I'm proud of her and I think I found a keeper!

Really? I guess I could let it go but at just about every hub ( I have a regular person camera) There is a calyx with a wad of green underneath one. On a few of them you get the pistols on one side and the ball with the claw on the other. The first picture is one with pistols and one with the ball with the claw... The other they have 2 calyxes and a ball under the calyx. The only other thing it could be is the strange bud formation that TGA sometimes gets. But right next to / below a female preflower?

Well, you can obviously see the plant better than what is represented in the pics. I've only had one hermie in over 10 grows (yeah, still a newb), and it was very obvious with a cluster of balls at the end of stalks. I guess I'm just not seeing any of that in your pics.

Can you get some Dutchmaster Reverse? I heard it works wonders. I actually have some I sprayed on my hermie last year, and it seemed to halt the process, but I put the plant outside and it got a bad case of bud rot later in the season

Either set the white balance on the camera or take the plant out from under the HID so folks can see what's going on. Reverse stops production of intersex flowers from stress. It will not stop production if the intersex flowers are caused by genetic factors, but it will prevent any seeds from developing.

Yeah mango, you need a better pic. All i can see is female parts, but that could easily be from the lack of light and bad angle..

Happy 420 though bro! bongsmilie

Here are some better pictures. Tell me what you think. She still lives at the moment but I don't see much a future for her.

I had these all over my Nirvana PPP, I think they are just poorly developed secondary branches. It freaked me out when I saw them, thought they were exploded sacs of pollen. If they were, I never saw any seeds in any of the other plants!

Really, now that just puts me more on the fence. I'll wait for second opinion before I act. I was gonna cut it down before I even showed the pictures.

Yours seemed to be coming out on the meeting between the main stalk and a leaf (which is where a "top" would normally form. Mine are down where the presex are mashed in there with the female parts. Some are the ole ball with a claw. I'm pretty certain that it's a herm. The more I look at them and think about it.

Yea I probably will. I'm still gonna stick it out until I get a couple more opinions but I think I'm gonna pull it regardless. But it's hard. I'm pretty new and I still get emotionally attached to these damn plants. . . That and I'm stoned and cutting it down right now involves stairs and I'm not down with that just yet.

Well, after seeing some more pics of possible hermies, I do think that what I had on my PPP was pollen sacs, just very low on the plant. Does not appear to have pollinated anything though, all of my plants harvested after that were seed free.
