First grow need advice

Do they have to hang down before they open and release pollen? I just noticed these starting to form maybe 4-5 days ago.

I can't see any open ones there yet. Yes, they usually grow a bit of a stem and hang upside down when ready to let go of the pollen.
Like an upside down umbrella.

Sure, but if thats all there is on the plant then in my opinion it is too soon to cull it.
They might be culling the best smoker of the three.
Worth letting it develop a little longer in my opinion.
Not long now and they will also be harvesting something consumable from it.
It's not black and white in every situation depending on the goals of the grower.

Thanks- I think i am going to remove all of them and see how it hoes- this is my first try here. They look really good

Just keep a close eye on it

Pot bound is definitely a possibility- I started with 2 gallon fabric pots and i have 5 gallon but I thought they were doing ok

Also- i am growing in coco coir with 25-30 percent perlite in fabric pots- on racks over tubs to catch the overflow.

It is most definitely a hermaphrodite, and not good for anything, except ruining the rest of your plants. It is already spreading small amounts of pollen.

You should carefully remove it NOW.

I would mist everything in the room with water at lights off, and then remove it. The water will kill any pollen floating around.

It happens, most likely from genetics. You'll have a few seeds probably, but the rest isn';t ruined....yet.

That might be the only male flowers you find. Fingers crossed that is the case then any seeds you get become valuable.
Some of the best commercial indoor weed comes with seeds in it. Admittedly very few but when you find them and grow them they are usually pretty good.

Every day!!

Good luck man. You've got a full blown hermie on your hands. I would chop it and get it out of there. Especially since you have other plants. Just my 2 cents.

Sorry man. But what commercial weed are you getting with seeds in it? And there's a huge difference between a true hermie, and a plant that throws nanners under stress.

I have found very few in my medical- saved and catalog- but i am going to try a seed bank

I think you already made that point.
Time will tell.

I think it already has, but good luck. Hope you like seeds.

Just think, anything you get off it will be a bonus.
Some people get a bit carried away about male flowers.
Just be vigilant removing them and have fun. It's a learning curve and sticking with this plant until you can tell how bad the problem is would seem to be a logical step.
At least you know the seed came from something the dispensaries consider to be good.
Stick to your guns if the male flowers never open then nothing gets pollinated.
You have nothing to lose.

I have zero experience- but i have been with these girls every day- pruning and rotating them. I really don’t think anything opened yet. I see the browning pistols but the buds don’t look like they are making any seeds- yet. Could it just be this strain? It is supposed to be a prolific resin producer.

 

[Bud man 43]

I just took one off and it had 2 small sticky balls inside.

 

[hotrodharley]

What should I do?
The plant is beautiful with only a few developing. Im pretty sure it is a female.
Can I just remove them or is it futile?

That’s hopeless. Plant another.

 

[Relaxed]

by the time you notice open pistols or seed its too late. you lost half the weed if hermie but male theres no bud. Seeded bud is a pain in the ass. I would trash em hermie and seeds from them. every experienced peeps passing by would give you a 3 stooges poke in the eye for not trashing these before ruining other females.
