Hey there...yup its hermalicious...Since this is your first grow I'd just get rid of it so you don't risk pollinating the other girls. Is that last pic a flower site on the hermie?

if it is not kept in the same room with the girls it should be ok. and it will produce smokable bud. but if can completely separate them and have light for you herm, there shouldn't be any risk of pollination. if it is any consolation herms and males seem to show themselves first.

Herm....that shit looks more male too me....kill that fucker.....I had five at first...and two were definately males....and one i didnt want to believe was male....so after she grew balls.... i labeled her herm...but after days and days of chopping balls... i finally realized this bitch was a man....i know its hard to kill them....but dont trip out... this only means you have more room for the others to grow.....all you really need is one chick....me im a two timing bastard.....even if you end up wth one chick, just clone her..... i have 5 clone from my two girlies...cloning is too easy...good luck.

gdg a calyx is a female flower the hair that comes out is called a pistol.I looked at the pics and didnt see a hermie anywhere I did see a male.If i were you i would try to research your situation a little better.Instead of just taking pictures and asking strangers for advice.I know i wont be popular here for saying this.But you should really read the grow faqs.There are dozens of pictures pretaining to sex.I know i personally would want to know for myself instead of taking someones word for it on the internet.Best of luck hope you get a girl

Unfortunately, I can give you direct input of what you'll see if you have a Hermi :cuss:(see below). My first grow and everything seemed to be going very well, until....flowering. After a month & a half of admiring the "girls". Here came some "nanners"...DAMN:wall:. But the input I got so far says to go into harvest mode and clean the room to get rid of any trace spore that may remain so I don't infest the next crop. Then just clean out any seed and smoke away...OK:joint::joint::joint::joint:, I like the sound of that. It may not be the best sensi bud, but it's still my first crop and I love my little girls, and yes, even the "guyirl". We'll see what happens. Anyway, here are couple pics to see what one (hermi) looks like.:peace::blsmoke:bongsmilie

Don't get too bumed out...like cheezy said..all you need is one lady to start a brothel.lol You'll be fine. You can separate them...as long as you are carefull. I never do it just because I'm paranoid of rouge pollen.

Oh and I think you know who to listen to...don't think anymore needs to be said on that one! If th plant shows signs of both male and female from the begining then it IS a Herm. If the plant develops mostly female and then starts to get a few male sites...then it is Intersexed. That flower site pic at the end(allthough I just thought about how shity my monitor is and I may not be seeing it clearly) Looks like bud on my screen..therefor showing both traits. I'll send you a good link that fdd made on the subject.
Here you go.

I was just trying to give GDG some input I got from other growers on the "hermi" subject. NO ONE said word one about "intersexed" plants. I read your link to the explanation and it makes good sense. The flowering never showed both sexes, only started showing after the calyxes were getting bigger. So, if I understand correctly, it probably started due to some stress. I have no idea how she got stressed, but I'll be more careful next grow. Thanks for the invaluable input shenagen, I'll put it to use.

Bong hits i couldnt disagree more...you have to do your reaserch...of course.... but sexing plants is a no brainer....males have balls females dont...just like us...itss like saying how do i know if my girlfriend a man ?????....check for ballls....and for info on riu.... its priceless....yeah some people gve horrible advice...and others give better...i listen to what people have to say....and then i make my own judgement...not based on one reply...if it wasnt for peoples advice and reading through threads i would be fucked.... and as far as intersexed....i think thats euphemism for hermies....started by gays and people who felt the were not given the genetals that suited their sexual identity....any way stess causing sex to change is a widely controversial subject... i dont think its true...i believe some just dont want to accept there plants are male....so they call it herm....and sometimes there right....however some plants are more male or more female....like i said kill it....but dont rush it....it wont pollinate for a while anyhow....its ok your in denial....

I just got back from a trip home for lunch and did a chop-job on herm/intersex or w/e it is :lol:. I kept the other 2 girls as they were only half as tall & showed no signs of sexual indifference. I lowered the light down to them and will continue with the flowering schedule for another week or 2 or 3. At the lower branches of the herm there were what I would say are the beginnings of seeds. Real small so I don't think there will be a lot of them so cleaning for smoke should be a breeze. I agree to a point of your assessment of the input received here. I also take the advice with a grain of salt, but as you also said, I make a decision based on my logical interpretation of the advice. Some is easy to filter while others make my brow turn up with bewilderment. The only thing I can tell you for sure right now is that I CAN'T GET THE SMELL OFF MY HANDS FROM TAKING OFF THE FAN LEAVES....:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:. Thanks for the input as well.:joint::joint::joint::joint::joint: have a few on me :mrgreen:.

Intersexed is not a euphemism for a herm....its a published fact so is stressing..in the grow books, in the mags etc. Now you are giving the misinformation!!! You can choose to believe what you like...just be sure to say its YOUR opinion...which I guess you sort of did...so maybe I should shut up now:mrgreen:

ok so im gonna kinda reply to everyone at once but if any of it comes out rude its to bonghits lol... First off i want to again say that i have sexed 7 of my 8 plants on my own... no it does not take a genius i found plants with alot of hairs ok girl.... found plants with alot of balls ok boy... then i had this one it did not look like either... no hairs and the balls were different just one here and there and no clusters. ok with that being said ive also done my fair share of research so dont just come in here and assume that i havent or that im just an idiot... i read alot of articles and posts and have looked at hundereds of pictures about sexing... which have said that alot of times noobies mistake a calyx sorry thought it was a pistil.... for a ball... and since my plant did not look like the boys i RESEARCHED.. and def. wasnt a girl i thought hey why not ask my friends on riu.. wow didnt know that i would get the third degree. i wanted to be safe rather than sorry on both accounts (keeping it or throwing it away) i did think it was more male but wanted a second opinion... like ive said b4 ive never even seen a weed plant in real life so how the fuck was i supposed to know what i was looking at.. and no i now do not think the plant i asked about is a herm... for there were no hairs but balls so i tossed.. thx for those of you that did help and fuck all of those who just want to hate. :blsmoke:
