Ok this is my first grow and I think I have a hermie. Check out the preflowers and see what you think. I always had a sucspision this plant would be male but like I said, first grow, no idea! Several of the female preflowers are way "fatter" then the ones on my other plants making them look more like balls, but they still have pistills coming out. What do you think?

Male flowers?????

EDIT:
Well I pulled it off my table, hopefully I'm not too late removing it? I examined the plant thoroughly and can only find two of these "male looking suspects" both are pictured below.......
Lots of female flowers!

This plant has had a very hard life....

Started in soil, was looking to be in very poor health so I transplanted it to an ebb and flow system. The transplant was hard on it and I was overwater for a month by flooding my table every 15 minutes. It took 5 weeks to root and start growing. It was 10+ weeks old when I switched to 12/12 and it didn't even start showing pre-flowers for 7 days. I am about 14 days into 12/12.

My other plant(different strain) has looked gorgeous from the start and was bursting with female preflowers before I switched it to flowering. It has taken off since starting 12/12 and the plant in question has barely grown and just started floweing in the last several days.

Here is my healthy guy(see the plant in question to the left)

I'm thinking just axe it, I have 5 clones rooted in veg off the healthy guy and 2 rooted clones on the flowering table in the hydro wth the plant in question

Those are male flowers fo sho right?

Also, I topped this plant and rooted it a few weeks ago, I have it in veg now. Should I ditch it as well or flower and watch closely? I'm looking to make some long term mothers so if this plant is going to continue to be likely to keep hermying I'd like to ditch it. Is there a chance it was stress induced and future cuttings won't do that in the proper environment?

I think your fine on your first pic. I Had them myself. THe second one looks like it could be. Others insite would be good.
ya first pic looks like phat ol' calyx...but pic two??????? look like nutty nanas developing.

good luck
