Your ok.... They start to show their sex after about 4 weeks of vegitation.... Time to throw them into flower man. The 2 white hairs signify their female...congrats! Now watch for pollen sacs (balls), but so far, sounds good man....

i think the op is just paranoid because it's going well. the odds of planting 6 bagseeds and getting 6 true females are pretty low, so i understand the concern. but like everyone said, until you actually see balls you have ladies. check all the nodes of the main stem and the branches. hermies show in various ways. sometimes nodes will alternate between lady and male flowers, sometimes they will be mixed at the same node. i've even seen actual pollen sacs with hairs in them. just check them frequently as they flower and you will be fine. i've had plants with only certain branches herm. i cut off just those branches and the plant was fine. too soon for worry.

Thanks for your answers, I guess I'm just paranoid like Total Head says, I imagined the seeds came from hermie mom that had pollinated her self or something. But I'll be keeping a close eye on them, hope they don't go sex changing on me.

Thanks for the +rep but I don't deserve it :( I was wrong, they ALL turned out to be hermies :( I moved my tent setup with them to a friends house, then there where no pollen sacks only female flower "hairs"?? well the guy who babysat them harvested them 3 days ago and when I took a look they had pollen sacks hidden inside the buds, and seeds all over the place :( but the smoke was good from what I quickly dried at home. But you learn from mistakes. My lesson is: DONT WASTE TIME AND ELECTRICITY ON BAGSEED!! It may turn out good but it is not worth the risk:dunce:

Yeah, most of the pollen sacks had hairs also....fucking disappointing. I was going to sell some because I'm so broke now i only afford eating noodle soup and haven't smoked marijuana in more than a week. Maybe I can sell some cheap but I doubt it, seeds must be 50% of the buds weight :(

I'm not too sure if light leaks caused it, but I hatched a bag seed that started to have some big ugly testicle sacks hanging around a few weeks after the flowers showed in. I shouldn't have said this, but if you are looking for advice if some bagseed can make hermies because of the genetics, it's all the luck of the draw, my friend :) I had one nice bag seed plant mature to completion and I fucking loved it! no herm. That was in PA and 9 years ago.
