Female, Male or Herme?

[Aussieaceae]

Casey,

You've likely already been looking at all the sites etc, with no resolve, and that's why you're asking here.

Not a site i use myself, but seems pretty popular here. Searched it out for you, generally has some good info from what i've seen.

Found this on sex determination -

https://www.growweedeasy.com/preflowers

Compare the male preflowers to those on your plant, i think you'll find it's male. (especially below where you circled) You won't get female preflowers looking like that.
They can sometimes be pretty difficult to distinguish, but once the nuts have that little stem then you know what's up.

If you have both male and female flowers, you have a hermie. If you have confirmed females in your grow space, then i wouldn't keep it.

I warn you that i am good, fith generation sensi master sexer of the house hermrmichu and fourth in line to the clan landracier of the kush plains.

My people will not accept my failure to sex a plant correctly, punishments will be harsh severe and also involve humiliation here.

I place my destiny in your hands and may the north winds blow favourably on your pistils whilat we await my impending doom

Holy fuck. Dude. You sound super wicked important. Taking you for your word. That is freakishly awesome. Im a total newbie if that’s not obvious. Lol. I really appreciate your opinion. I want to learn. This is something more than I could imagine.

For sure yea i looked at all the pictures that showed male vs female and still was confused. Figured i asked fellow growers and see what yall
Think. All my other plants have showed their sex quite clearly to me except this one. Not shocked to get both responses. But what do I really know. This is my first grow. Started with 7. 2 male 4 female and waiting on this last one. Thankfully everyone has been healthy throughout veg and flower so far. Well the common thing i hear between both sides is... im safe to wait a little bit longer to figure out what sex it is... so im gonna take a chance and wait a week before i do anything and check it everyday. I’ll post a picture with any changes so y’all can see.

lol dude im just stoned but yes i am good at sexing plants. There is no hermrichu house and all that but smoke enough and.hang here enough and well you write some stupid stuff.

Peeps are right it sort of looks male but so do most plants at this stage juat wait till loads more turn up in a week or so.

Were here to help just be patient - the other guy gives good advice but trick is to simply wait - your weeks of actually getting pollen yet so can leave her show you.

Nature is wonderfull to watch reveal her sex - enjoy the show whilst it lasts

Cool man, sounds like a plan.

Is both male and female? There is the 2 white hairs(pistils) the second circle concerns me. Has a tear drop shape to it but couldthis be a pollen sac?

100% herm. Those are pistils circled up top, and those are nuts where that purpled fan leaf stem meets the main stem. Had the exact same thing happen with a plant this run. Sorry broski!

So now it gets interesting. Hmmm

You sure are gonna feel stupid for writing this when you open the picture in post # 1 a few more times and see the pollen sacs that are about 6 days from busting.

 

[Dankrolledfreshed]

Hey bro them are nuts hanging just make sure you pulled them off before they jizz everywhere !!!!

Aint my first rodeo amigo and its why i bait these threads up so we can all see what happens. There is only male or female - herms are simply not a sexual group but a stress reaction so if it grows pistils you have a female plant that will then go onto produce some lovely bud.

lets wait it out for kingrows sake as he loves these threads

It certainly does, the tension is great

 

[CaseyJones84]

Well more popped out guys.

 

[CaseyJones84]

Finding both a few more white hairs but there are nuts at every spot where i see white hairs. Some are smaller than others but I think that’s just because its a lower branch

I’m no self proclaimed master of bullshit it’s clear as day in your first pic below where you circled like everyone else said they are balls.

Ha ha ha nice!!! Thanks.

Ha ha ha nice!!! Thanks.

I have grown several Hermie's by cutting the balls off and just checking them regularly. They normally stop being produced after a week or 2. more than 10 ball clusters chop it. Less, then castrate and monitor. Look for any stressors: check for light leak, timer setting, pH of feed. What strain is it anyway? happy growing!!

Not sure. Could be Berry White???

I had my plant throw 3-4 balls in week 5 of flower all on the lowest branches. I’m currently week 8 and found a few seeds, no balls since week 5. I’m guessing your about a week on 12/12 so I think there is a much higher chance you would be battling balls the rest of your grow, this early in flowering I would probably chop it just my opinion. Also mine never grew sacs in clusters and I’m not sure I saw any pistils in your pics, if it does have them you have a true hermie I think not just a female producing a sac or two from stress.

Its cool but theres more white hairs or pistils so were moving in the right direction. At best we have totally ruled out the option of it ever being male.

I disagree with most about what a herm is or isnt and what peeps are looking at so let her keep going and we will see more in time

ya but its clear as day its growing pistils and i havent seen pollen yet or them balls split to their nannas to make that level of certainty yet - theres the right way and wrong way to do things
