Nice, very good find my friend. I always had a feeling about this plant. It just didn't seem right that it could be a hermie. It sounds a lot like what he described early in the post.
From what I've seen, hermies have tons of male flowers all over the nodes. On this plant, they are few and far between. I dunno, I'm feeling real good about this plant. She has been doing really well so far and I'm excited to see what the buds look like.
One question though, he says that this condition is most likely caused by stress. The only real stress I can think of is the under watering issue. Think that could have been enough?
I don't think overwatering caused your hermie problems. You saw what my plants had to go through to stress hermie. You are planting bag seeds, right? any bag with seeds obviously had either the "hermie" trait or the trait FDD is talking about above (likely to produce a few male flowers). Though it is pretty normal for completely female plants to show male flowers later in life. I can't say for certain this pertains to cannabis but it is true for other dioecious plants so i think it is fair to apply it to our beloved plant as well.
anyway - i believe your plants are more genetically prone to hermie. I do not think it is stress induced.
but as you know - i'm no pro and your mileage may vary

im still gonna run with FDD's post on this one. Its so many different ways to stress the plant that I couldnt even list them all here (ie , transplant, root bound, air, wind, heat, light, water, pH, nutes etc.) so I cant rule out environmental stress just yet.
I also disagree about it being a 'true' hermie just yet. Ive grown out a few of the 'self-pollinating' females he talks about. I just cut the ballz off the ladies and they flowered fine, one plant in particular only had about 10 seeds (3 of em were mature.)

It's not so much me wanting them to smell. I haven't bought anything for the smell yet, so I was thinking about getting something soon or just waiting to see how bad it actually gets.they are just itty-bitty buds - give 'em some time - you know you can't rush these things
it won't be long before you're wishing they didn't smell so much (for securities sake anyway)

Still looking like a tranny huh? Getting big though!
I had to go away for the weekend for work. Got stuck an extra day away due to the vagaries of 2008 air travel and my ladies got a tad dry.
They seen to be recovering except for some fan leaves that are dead-dry and had to be snipped. Hopefully I don't end up running a damn ladyboy farm with this stress.
Travel is greatly overrated.

Right on, can't wait to see.
Airport woes..I know exactly what you mean. Last bit of traveling I did was right after 9/11 and when those guys tried to blow up planes with some form of a liquid a few years back. Yea, it's not to fun, thank god they serve alcohol at the airport.
