Hermie question

I had a plant show pistils on a top node and what looked to be balls on the node bellow. People here posted that it was in fact male parts and to throw it. The next day I had pistils showing on 3 nodes and 2 sets of balls on that 1 node, I got tweezers and picked them off outside of my grow room and separated that plant. After 2 days I've now got pistils on the node that I picked balls off. I thought that it wouldn't get both sexes on the same node? Could we have all been wrong about the balls being balls? Should I keep the plant and check on it daily? The pics are before I tweezed the balls and now

Castrating your hermie like when you cut your own balls off

still makes you a male, as with the herm, as with you

avoid

monitor for now, and

confirm this is an actual herm,

once you have a positive 7-14 days

Toss it ..

Hard at first but thats the biz we are in

Good Luck

Thanks I will continue to monitor, but if no balls show back up do you think maybe it wasn't male parts that were in the 1st pic? This is my first grow and surprisingly out of 6 plants all except for this one were completely female so I can afford to toss it but if I don't need to I don't want to.

I only see male parts. Accept it, move on or grow it out, but making new threads with the same question, the same plant, same pics isn't gonna change the answers. Get rid of it you'll feel better. At least its only bag seed. It really sucks when pay for seeds and it happens or reg seeds 4 of 10 are males you gotta toss after growin them for a month. Not every seed popped is gonna be a gem. Learn how to clone if you haven't already so when you find one you like you can keep it. practice with the male plant, cut the top off and see if you can get it to root

This plant is a male even if it has some calyx, it is still male. IF you grow it out, it will VERY LIKELY produce more insidious hermie seeds.. I am heartfully sorry for your loss, kill it get some femmed seeds from a reputable breeder and GROW on with life.

Good Luck and Great Growing

Thanks all. I have ordered some auto fem seeds from the seed bank on here, waiting for them to come in and this cycle of plants to finish. Sorry for it seeming like I keep reposting the first hermie post I did because a friend who grows said all plants of mine were female but I was pretty sure that pic looked male. Then this one was because I was confused everything I saw said it wouldn't have balls & pistils on the same node

cull it from your grow unless you want seeds in your buds, you will never get all the balls off of it and one will pollinate your grow. It's inferior genetics and shouldnt be grown.

Some strains have a tendency to hermi more so under stress or light leaks

I`ve had a few where they budded nice but later on grew some balls

if you can monitor them and keep removing the balls fast then fine but if you have loads of plants well better to just get rid of the one causing that issue as that`s easier then dealing with a whole load of seedy weed later

Damn so this one is hermie too? I was hoping maybe it was calyx that hadn't opened yet since it has pistils all over every node

Thanks I picked them off another plant, I do have time to check them daily and remove. I have 6 plants all together, but I'm concerned that maybe it's genetics. The seeds were from bag seed and it had quite a few seeds so I'm worried that mine are going to be hermi. But I have some fem seeds I'm waiting on

I had a nice kali mist by cbd seeds

was not near me and the place it was at kept getting the power fucked with and the timer fucked with

the ice or ice x widow that was there had no issues

but the kali shot off some balls, had to pick them off 2 maybe 3 or 4 times but had no seeds in the kali at the end or the ice was really nice stuff too, that place had nice airflow

see when you find a seed in some weed

that`s normally because something hermie`d and caused that seed

so bag seeds can hermie on you, but there`s so many strains that only exist due to hermies and bag seeds (C99) normally breeding and stress testing can be used to iron out most of the hermies you`d get you know if for some reason you felt the need to breed a plant that hermies.....

Thanks I have no plans to breed, my plants are honestly just for personal so if I had seeds it wouldn't be costing or loosing me anything

Well good news I went back in today to check and 2 of those suspected balls had actually opened to show pistils. So maybe this strain has odd shaped calyxes.
