Hi
Had hermies in my previous grow, here is what the root system looks like, and on the larger buds there were lots of single leaves and not much trichomes at the end.
Would this be considered rootbound!?? root rot?? etc.

Also, in my new room, i have a cloned afghan kush from a female plant. Now that its gone a bit bigger (1foot high+wide), it doesn't have the female pistils. Should i be worried?



Here is the buds that turned hermie


Here is the root system, theres no light leaks as far as i can tell, except under the door. But my previous crop didnt go hermie in the same room.

That fan is about 20 inches in diameter.
The height of the pots is about 20 inches
Those are 50L pot socks, so i am def not wrong about that.

Each plant in the same pots and room gave me 2lbs+ prevously

So no one has any idea why my plants turned hermie?

does pollen affect plants in veg state ?

where did you aquire the plants that hermie'd on you? Clones or seeds? What strain and what seedbank did they originate from? Did you have any unexpected fubars during the grow that may've really stressed the grow? Feminized seeds can be easier to hermie because they carry its trait.

Pollen wont affect your plants in veg, but it's quite possible to carry some of that pollen on into your flowering chamber and produce a few seeds,

Also if by some odd chance the lighting was messed up or you had some light leaks, that can shock a plant hermie. Generally though if its from a proven strain it really should just turn hermie.

Hundreds of reasons for it to herm.
Light stress.
Letting some strains run too long can cause a herm. (I use this method to get female seeds from expensive stock when hunting down a rare genotype)
Heat stress (Just one instance of high heat can cause this)
Nute abuse ... high/low EC .. high/low ph etc etc...
too high/low humidity.
I could go on...... basically without a full grow journal and alot more info you are not going to find an answer to your question.
50L pot... that is not the reason. not root rot.
If you had this happen before in your grow room it's either a bad stock mother, or you have an enviromental issue than needs sorting.

Thanks for that.
Reason why i thought it might have been the pot is because these plants were trees.
Its never happened before, i'm thinking/hoping it was the genetics.
