well ive been runing this same plant for about 8 months now... ive put her through hell sometimes, no signs of hermies. started growing in dwc, first 2 plants = awesome. the final one im growing of this phenotype for a while decided to go herm. i got pretty lazy with changing nutes in the dwc setup. let it go 3 or 4 weeks just adding water and nutes back into it, kept the ph stable at 5.6-6.0 and dont have a tds meter. usually i follow my simple routine, swap out every 2 weeks, use same solution every time, during flower. this time it got burned from adding nutrients to top off the buckets. as soon as i noticed the burns, i rinsed the roots with water, then put it back into the normal nutrient solution i use. seemed fine, good growth, instant stop of the burning, very white roots still, THEN this morning i noticed THIS wanker hanging out clear as day...YIKES . the only other thing that i can think of that may have caused this, is i turned my lights off for pictures last week-ish and when i turned them back on, i didnt put it back in the timer mode, so it was on constant. noticed it about 6 hrs after it should have been off, it was still on... i have forgotten to close the tent before and had sun shining in a few times for that length of time also, never hermied before. so who knows lol i have to fully inspect the plant and hope there are no more, all pistils are still super white, i poked at the banana after i chopped it off, saw no pollen yet. hopefully i can find them all and cut em off. idk what i want to do with it...
its a male stamen that usually holds a little tiny bit of pollen, i cut that one off, havent seen any others yet, the bud still smells superb so ill let it finish up, atleast make it into hash or sell it cheappp

i just pollinated the previous plant i just cut down last week, im picking seeds as we speak lol. used colloidal silver on a clone and pollinated the plant i just chopped, i also used a male from a mixed batch of seeds from sam the skunk man, could be a sk1 cross or haze cross, crossed with this Cinderella 99. so far i have 30 feminized seeds(still pickin), and over 100 seeds of the cross that i made, from pollinating single branches. at least i know that its a stressed hermie, if it does pollinate itself. it can usually take a beating, but this time it popped a nanner...beats me. if it does produce seeds ill save them for a rainy day, or pop them all outside next year.
it has a few weeks to go still probably 4-ish, it was going to be the largest yielding plant that ive had of this strain, by the looks of it. i got it to stretch way less, by fim'ing a couple tops after the first week of flower, then i put a bucket under it to raise it right up close to the light and cranked up the ac to keep it 65F-70F with lights on. could be a quarter lb plant, by the looks of it, only vegged for 2-3 weeks from clone. ill take more pics later this week.
