Hello, this plant has been under 12/12 for 12 days now. I see a lot of pistols all over it, but I'm worried about what appears to be balls.

Here are some pics, can someone give me a for sure answer? =)

Thanks much!

How many are you growing? Do you have room to let the hermi go away from the others? yes looks like a hermi

Its in a room with 3 other females (2 bag seed, and one crazy looking white widow, the WW has 13 blades per leaf, I might have even seen a 15 blade growing!), so I dont want it to drop polen everywhere.

Most pictures of male plants I saw, always showed a bunch of balls in the area (at least 2), but on this one, I only see ball on each side.

I'm ok to let it go another couple of days without having to worry about it dropping its polen?

Thanks in advance,

Well I'm going to follow Azgrow's advice.

I'm not quite sure its a Hermie... A couple of the 'balls' have opened up. A couple appear to be new branches, and a couple of them are shooting pistols out.

I will snap another pic tonight.

Can anymore of the expert growers take a look at my pic's and offer their opinion?

I always thought males have balls in clumps of 2 or more per clump? Is this not always the case? There can just be one ball node as shown in my pic's?

This is my first grow, I have managed to spot most of the males/females by myself, but this one I'm worried about as I dont want it to be a hermie and seed my other beauties! =)

Thanks,

Ok here is more pic's from tonight. Youll notice in the first pic below, one of the 'balls' has opened and shot out pistols.











So what do you guys think?

Thanks,

i have no idea to be honest , all i know that males have balls and thats it i cut them down , not sure though i havent grown a plant for over 4 yrs and all i remmeber my female had no balls on it . BTW how do you know when a male is at its pollinating stage and are capable of wrecking female plants? becuase im growing all 3 of my seedling together and dont want them pollinating one another.

it's a hermie

question is....how many flowers will it put out and will the pollen be viable?

If you keep on it and there are only a few 'nannaer showing..you can pick em off. It MAY stop throwin; em..and it may not. Each one is different.

If you can..seperate it from the others for a bit..

hope that helps....

Ok, thanks for the input. The plant is just too pretty to destory, so I think I'm going to setup a temp flower area just for this one. Hopefully it doesnt get to hot up there where im going to set it up. You think 2 CFL's will be enough for this plant all by itself wrapped in mylar?

2 clfs of what strength?

i'd say atleast four if they're like the 23 watt ones
or three if theiy're the 42w...

but yeah, just pick the balls off when you see them so that as little pollen as possible drops... check MULTIPLE times a day, them nuts drop fast!!!!!
