do I only have hermaphrodites out of 4 plants???

  1. I have four plants growing at the moment and I find pistil buds on all of them (so I thought cool I only have females), but also "balls" and male flowers!!!

    Could you check these pictures and confirm that I have 4 hermies?!
    Is it worth haversting and smoking them?

    Seeds I've used all come from the same female plant I smoked last year...

  2. on pic 7 don't see any seed forming is that just bag seed?look pretty good
     
  3. heya 5ven, sorry to see u have hermies. i dont see any balls in pic 7 either, but doesnt mean theres not some hiding. Was the female u tookl seeds from a hermie as well. Normally if seeds from a hermie will produce hermies. Well if these are your only 4 plants, id grow em out. it may be seedy and less potent, but its smoke nonetheless. peace, e :bongin:
     
  4. Could be false pods, being as there big and easy to handle snip em off, wont do any harm to it.
     
  5. Looks like u have it under control. good luck dude. peace, e :bongin:
     
  6. I have some NL outside that is finishing up on it's last 2 weeks, frosty and sticky as hell with great weight already but I found seed pods intermixed, so it is a hermie :(. But hey it was a free plant and it is going to still be some great smoke I just picked all the seeds out(about 30-35seeds total on a 3 1/2 foot tall plant so not too bad) and man are my fingers sticky as hell can't hardly get them off the keys. LOL The smell is amazing as well, I do use botanicare and molasses so my plant is extra healthy. I can grab a tip of a fan leaf and pull the whole plant sideways without the leaf breaking whatsoever it is strong!!!! Keep picking off the male parts and you can get the plant to concentrate on its female side.
     
  7. it mite b that u only have 1 hermi and its pollenated the rest of your girls... tooo late now tho ul have to stick with seedy weed still smokes gd tho... iv had to cut one of mine cos it was a hermi and was pollenating my other girls..:wave:
     
  8. pluck the sacs off and check very hard 4 light leaks
     
  9. Does that mean that one male contamination could "transform" females into hermies? Sex doesnt change does it?

    By the way, can a lonely female produce seeds? Cos the plant I had last year was totally alone (I only had one plant) and I did collect quite a lot of seeds from it...
