Are these nuts?

Hi all,

Haven't posted in a while. Started back up on growing again. Running into problems already, looks like a hermie.

12/12, 2 weeks veg from seed, 3 weeks 3 days into flower. 1800wtts, DWC, 33 plants.

Found what looks like nuts on this plant during inspection, they are on the middle three nodes. There is none on the top nodes and the nuts highest up started to open. Should I cut it??

Any helpful answer ASAP is greatly appreciated! Sorry About the shitty pics! Shitty camera!

yea those male parts

ah shit. Gotta cut her.

I mean him

I mean it.

1 of 33 i'd say pull it, or go in everyday to check for new sacks and bananas

Just cut it. Put a bag over it then cut the stem and pulled it. Was looking it over and I found more nuts, fully open.

How long does it usually take to see if the other plants are pollinated? They just started budding...

Yep

Sent from my LG-LS980 using Rollitup mobile app

Pulling a double shift at work tonight, only came home for a nap. Going to look for more hermies tomorrow night. Hopefully its not too late now...

Started with 36 seeds. 2 seeds died. Pulled 1 plant because it was stunted and not doing anything. Now pulled another for turning hermie. Losing too many plants!

Thanks for the input!

watch for hairs turning brown to early, thats one of the first sign of pollination. follow ur airflow from that plant to your exhaust. with any luck most of it was caught by that plant.

Balls.

Were these commercial seeds? Inquiring minds want to know!

Agreed, but lets make it clear that pollination isn't the only thing that can cause early browning. In my experience, small clusters of brown pistils are indicative of pollination. If it's a uniform browning across the whole plant, it's either BADLY pollinated (very unlikely to happen without seeing male flowers or pollen clouds in the air) or it's another cause like heat stress, leaves rubbing on pistils constantly, root sections dieing off, or most likely just time for the pistils to naturally brown. Anytime the cause is from a minor stress-induced hermie pollination, it will most often just be small clusters of brown hairs.

We must also understand that there is a large difference between a stress-induced sort of "psuedo-hermie" and a true genetically encoded hermie. A true genetic hermie will have an almost equal ratio of male to female flowers, while a stressed hermie will just develop a few nanners here and there. TRUE hermies should be destroyed, but the offspring of a stress-induced hermie has the potential to be grown 100% free of male flowers if that particular strains ideal conditions can be met. The TRUE hermie has it encoded into it's DNA to grow both male and female blossoms every time. A stress-induced hermie forms male blossoms as a survival mechanism in order to survive and carry on it's lineage via propagation while in the face of unfavorable conditions. When conditions are right, the plant has no reason to go into survival sex-change mode lol A TRUE hermie however will grow LOTS of male blossoms, no matter how perfect the environment is.

I just wanted to clarify that so nobody sees early brown pistils and automatically writes it off to hermie pollination.

Hello mate, If it's a feminized seed that turned hermie, and if you have some extra space away from your crop with grow light and ventilation. I personally would keep this plant. It will give you some amount of feminised seeds as well as cannabis that is only about 30% weaker in it's THC concentration, from what I know it appears to affect only THC. Thus, concentration of other psychoactive compounds increases, which in my opinion makes the effect allot more pleasant.
Sorry if its too late.
All the best

Are you able to provide us with the source that convinced you of a loss of THC production? I have been unable to find anything supporting that.

I am afraid I am not able to provide any source with proven information about it, as I believe such a research have not been done in a professional lab. My experience based purely on personal comparison of the same strains from standard plan and hermi plant. The only way for you to find out, I believe is to do it yourself. You can force plant to hermaphrodite by using "colloidal silver"
Good luck

I plan on buying a membership at a local testing lab that gives me unlimited lab testing access. I might just have to do a little experiment I already have lots of CS and an extra chamber to use for pollination. Been wanting to make some S1's of a few different strains I have anyways. Might as well make it a bit more interesting.

It sounds very interesting, If you come up with some results,I would much appreciate to receive a message from you with some info about it.
Thanks
