First grow everything has been going good I’m 6 weeks into flower and I noticed this on some of the lower shoots. Looks like a seed forming can’t tell if it’s a hermie. Someone help me out n let me know what I should do.
Is this a hermie?

Looks like a herm to me. Do you have anything in your grow space that has any lights illuminating during lights off? Have you had light fluctuations? What are your temps like? Are you stressing your plant in any way?

The best thing to do is THOROUGHLY search through ALL plants and cut off the bud sights that are forming pollen sacks. Cut them from the base, not the whole branch just the node. Hopefully it’ll be ok after that, but you have to watch them like a hawk to make sure balls don’t keep forming. If they do, you might have to cut your losses.

The bud formations seems to be good. It’s the really low shoots at the bottom that are growing hermies. The strain is mag landrace I got from a medical jar n I heard it’s known for hermeing but didn’t know if it was true.

Just cut the bud sites off that have balls, watch the tops for bananas. Literally little yellow pollen sacks that like to fuck your plant

For sure thanks. Can the bud still come out fire?

Of course it can, just watch it like a fat kid watches the cooking channel. Cut off any balls you see
Likely a hermie but don’t give up on it. Definitely can still make some incredible stuff. Like everyone said, keep an eye on it and pluck off the pollen sacks with tweezers meticulously.
Worked for one of mine (pics are of week 7)

My understanding is it is not the hermie itself that affects the final product but the production of seeds that can fuck up the cannabinoids.
