Feminized Seed Turned Hermie?

Hello, I've done a lot of research and I'm still not quite sure what is going on with this C99. She is one of two and the only one displaying these. She is about 8-12inches taller than the one who is not exhibiting these. The plant showing these is consuming 4 gallons of water every 5-7 days. At first they were only present on the upper parts of the node but now are showing further down. I removed one with sterile tweezers and it squeezed out a little bit of clear liquid.

Background:
Seeds: Feminized Regular C99
Indoor: DWC - 5 Gallon Buckets
Nutrients are being replenished every 5-7 days due to rapid consumption
Temperature in water is 68*F and Temperature in the room never exceeds 70*F
Pictures are Flowering Day: #10


My questions are:
1: Did this girl turn into a hermie?
2: What will this do to the other C99 that is not showing these?
3: Is the smoke really that much worse if I let this plant run its course?
4: Can I just remove all of these from the plant and continue the grow?

If they sold you that as a feminized plant get your money back asap mate. Send them those pictures and demand a refund. Tell them you wasted time and money growing some fufu male plant that they passed off as a feminized plant and that you'll tell the whole world about it.

were there interruptions during the light and/or dark cycles? power outages, etc.?
Am a rookie but as i understand it, the primary cause of hermies is interruptions during the dark cycle... getting light when it shouldn't be.

get it away from other females, it will pollinate all of 'em. I would probably try to get a trash bag over it before trying to move it. don't pop those pollen sacks!

I believe another sign of hermies are yellow banana looking things on the tops.

Yeah that ain't a girl that's thrown a few nanners, it's a straight up bloke! Get it away from your other plants fast, preferably with the fans off and/or trash bag over it so you don't risk spilling pollen. Sorry dude :peace:

Actually, the primary cause of hermies is genetics.

So I was very careful with lighting to include redundancy with a backup generator. Temperature was always fine and the leaves and roots never were mis-colored at any point. I let them Veg for about 30 days and then changed over to 12/12. Here is a picture of the one in question again, this time I took a picture of what I think are buds? This is my first grow so sorry for newbie questions. The seeds were purchased from an online type entity(seller had +500 good reviews if that counts for anything :lol:) and not from a reputable bank.


Its weird because some of the balls have little hairs trying to come out and the nods have a long green pistil looking hair coming out of them. The only thing I could think is that the plant was getting too close to the MH bulb? I had it about 6 inches away for about a week.

Who is the breeder and where did you buy them from?
feminized regular c99 doesn't tell us anything.

Fem seeds always have a high chance of going hermie.

Solution? Stop buying fem seeds.

Just buy bulk packs of regulars

Even tho the seed is feminized, as i understand, it ain't 100%... there is always a small chance it will be a male.
Regardless of seed bank.

That's very true. I had 5 feminized autos and I got 1 male. I contacted the seedbank and they apologized and offered 10% off my next order.
It happens.
