Been growing in the greenhouse a couple of months, started flowering a few of my plants by covering them with empty compost bins. Im worryed that one of them is a hermie, its been getting 12/12 light dark for 3 weeks now.

It's amazing quality for a phone camera... I'm impressed.

Why do you think it's going hermie? I don't see any difinitive signs.

Edit: Is there any way you can get a picture of the nodes while the plant is standing instead of being bent over?

I can't see any signs of a hermie, but like Ravioli said, provide us with a different angle.

i only see something that COULD be a pollen sack on the left side where branch meets stem, and i only bring it up cuz its a bit unclear but look slightly circular. keep a close eye on it. does that bin over it have any cracks? or is the ground there not level? light leaks cause hermis, i know from experience... good luck with it guy.

sorry about picture quality i had to take it and edit it on my phone. Are these bits the buds growing (buds are empty seed pods?) Or is it more? On the plus side i can see the crystals starting to dominate the leaves which has to be a good thing right? Worst comes to the worst i will be able to make some BHO. Apart from the money for the terra veg and terra flores my grow hasnt cost me anything and i have 10 sexy looking females. Its all been done in the greenhouse so no extra cost for lighting bills. Also the are no light leaks from the compost bin i made sure of that from the start

Yeah, I feel you. I had 5 out of 10 plants hermie. It was awful. The remaining females more than made up for it though:mrgreen:. From the look of the pics, it seems like you've got some manly bits there. But like I said, monsta should open one of those pods up before doing something drastic.

Just got the tweezers out and carefully picked one off, when i opened it the was nothing inside apart from what looked like a small white hair like the ones growing all over the plant. The was definitly no seed in there or anything that looked even slightly like a seed.

so if in the little sack the is a hair like in my first photo its female, but if you open the pack and its full of little green bananas its a hermie? Like in my second picture. What if it has the hair and the bananas all in the same seed shaped thing?
