if some one would explane to me how a plant can become a hermi that would be great
genetics.. when they start to flower, they choose their gender (not sure how myself) but it can be male female or both... supposedly bag seed has a tendency to go hermie

yes youve got herms dude. Search the tag hermie to find out more about them, there is a ton of info here on them Im sure. Thats pretty basic knowledge IMO.

hermi can be caused by genetics, light exposure, or heat. it is smokeable. i just harvested some purple trainwreck and it hermi the last two weeks of flower.

so whats the problem with hermis they might pollinate themselves? if my plants came to be hermis would cutting off the nuts (hahahaha but seriously) make it not pollinate itself

From what I can tell, the first two pics look male and NOT hermie. There are no white hairs or bud formation, just pollen sacks which means its a dude. In a hermie you get bud development, but the pollen sacks tend to develop within the buds.

It's hard to tell in the last couple of pics, but they don't look DEFINITIVELY female, but I don't see sex organs either way.

And you can try to remove the pollen sacks, but as I said they tend to grow within the buds, making removal difficult and often never 100%, so you'll probably get pollen somewhere...

i agree with jerry. Those first two plants def. look all male to me. I didn't really see any signs of pistils.

as far as the second set of pictures, it seems that they havent begun to show there sex either. What you have shown in the pictures are stipules and not actually pistils or female hairs.

so be careful and watch out, because if those second set of plants turns out to be females, those males will already be pollenators.
