Hermie?

First grow,
I have 9 lowryder crosses growing and 1 looks pretty different to the rest. The buds are tiny compared to its sisters and it looks like the buds may have male flowers appearing . There are little hairs that look like female bits, but it looks much different to the rest. There are no balls in the usual spots btw.

Can you guys take a look and see what you think.

hey man,how far into flowering are you?the last pic does look a bit hermiefied.I have exactly the same problem with one of my plants.im 12 days into flower and its showing what i think to be male flowers right at the top of the cola but not anywhere else.The rest of the plant is flowering nicely.Looks like we are in the same boat my friend.

Hi chow,
My plants are 6 weeks old and all look great with nice looking buds bar this one. I think I`ll keep it all by itself just in case and see what happens.
I did a little pruning of fan leaves and topped it early on as an experiment so this may have caused it to hermie.

I had a hermie on in my last grow. Looked a bit different though. The male parts grew off of little thin branches that stretched away from the plant and then began to grow odd little flowers. I picked them off as I found them. End result - only the hermie plant (1 of 9) started to go to seed at harvest time and only the buds that were near the male parts were affected. However, I don't have a strong fan and I picked off as many as I could find. If you have a strong fan blowing pollen around the room you may end up with some problems. Oh, the smoke on the hermie plant wasn't too bad for the most part. Comparible to the rest of the harvest in taste & buzz but the buds had a different texture and I sometimes find half developed seeds here and there.
Hope this helps. Sorry, I can't tell for sure if your plants are showing male parts so I'll not bother with guessing as this won't help you.
Good luck and happy growing!

Well if It hermied on you and you still want to harvest it and not let it pollinate the rest of your girl just cut off all the things you think are balls just in case.

I topped mine early on too,just the one thats showing hermie-style colas.I guess it was the topping that did it.I wont be topping this strain again(ch9 super haze).

you could always harvest it and make hash out of it. that's what i do with my males and hermies

I am going to isolate it and let it grow out and see what happens. If its a hermie at least I might get some seeds from it.

Thanks guys

Yeah, I heard that too, but I`ll grow them out anyway and see for the fun of it.
