Are these Hermie Balls or New Sets of Leaves?!?!

WoldofWeedcraft · Jan 31, 2008

Ok i've been flowering for about two weeks now, and I have two females of two diff strains of bagseed. One of my girls is forming this ball-like structure in the center of the top of the plant, but i'm not sure if it's just a new set of leaves that are gonna split apart, bud formation, or if it's gonna be a male ball. Also, on the lower side branches (where i would take a clone) there are ball-like/leaf-like structures forming between the branches near the tips. I'm just wondering if these are gonna be new sets of leaves or if they will be pollen sacs. I know what males look like, and I was planning to wait to see if they cluster before I start chopping. But this is a tough call for me, since I've never watched a bud grow, or the leaves in it.

Looks like it may be Hermie. Watch it closely over the next few days.

I hate to say it bro, but looks like's its going to hermie.

Sorry man, but it looks like a hermie to me, Its deciving, if those little ball type growth dosent have white hairs coming out of them then they are hermies. I would watch them for 2 more days.

Its a man.. not herme. It should have 2 hairs not round things...

congrats its a boy when new leaves grow in there they dont look like balls at the begaining atlest they dont on my plant just look like lil small floded up leaves but them are balls

WoldofWeedcraft · Jan 31, 2008

Well it's definately not a male, and I'm pretty sure they aren't balls but still don't know. If you look at pic #2, those are leaves unfolding, and I believe the ones in pic 3 and 4 are the same structure. Actually in pic #4 you can see the pistil on the left side, and leaflet on the right. I'll be watching closely for those balls developing.

Dannydee · Jan 31, 2008

ooo i see the pistil in the last one now

WoldofWeedcraft · Jan 31, 2008

Yea there are pistils all over the plant, i'm just zooming in on what I think may be balls.

ganji2 · Jan 31, 2008

I dunno man. I can see the pistl in that 3r pic, but it does look like balls =?

look at that first pic dude ... there are clearly pistils hence the term HERMIE! From now on please read entire threads before posting ....

Well, the formation on the left node in pic2 looks like a hermie to me. I just cut down a few hermies a week and a half ago...still good smoke though...just has a few seeds here and there. The "ball" like structure's in pic1 also imply hermie to me...Hermies are not always a bad thing. Unless your going for a commercial sensi crop of course. Watch the ball structure's closely...if they open up and show what kind of resembles a small bunch of banana's...they are hermies. Kill the ones showing these traits if you want a sensi crop. Keep posting pics and asking questions!

Thanks for the input statik, i'll keep an eye on it and keep pics coming.

dude those are balls and it looks like they already started to burst.

daveg1i · Jan 31, 2008

yea if the other ballish lookin things pop hairs out like that other one then you'll be good, but it does look weird. goodluck man

mal_crane · Jan 31, 2008

Now the only thing I can tell ya is to get that herm away from the rest of your crop. Hermed buddy isn't that bud just seedy, this way at least the rest of your crop will stay seed free ... for now.

statik · Feb 2, 2008

Yeah...nowthat I realy look at them...Those ARE hermies...and they ARE going to bust ! I agree, either move the hermie to an isolated location away from the rest of your "girls"...or bite the bullet and kill it if you don't want any seeds. I personaly VALUE seeds...but that is another story.

Jakebakingcake · Feb 2, 2008

man this is a tough call im going through the same thing!!! the thing is the main bud looks like it has mostly pistels so im not sure if the balls are just your plants comming in a little late or just devoloped the sac , definatly watch it for a couple days but no more than that you never know when that sucker will open up and ruin your crop!! i know its tough to throw away beautiful plants loaded up with pistels. it just seems like a sacralidge.. but better safe than sorry!!! go read the growfaq about hermie plants too that helped me alot!!

Are these Hermie Balls or New Sets of Leaves?!?!
