A week or so ago i posted on someone's thread here (i believe op was JSJ) and i feel i might have given him inaccurate information. Op was concerned about his plant turning hermie - due to a "nanner" turning up in his flowers. I told him it was hermie and i was most likely wrong. there's a lot of different oppinions as to what a "hermie" is, however, i felt this read best describes what i feel a lot of "newbies" experience and i am also posting a journal with more in depth information about this whole "hermie" thing. i've included pics in the journal that are quite good. so...here's the read, and whoever you were mate, i apologize. i will check myself better next time i offer advice :hump:


"Hermaphrodite marijuana plant, or hermie, is a marijuana plant of one sex that develops the sexual organs of the other sex. Most commonly, a flowering female marijuana plant will develop staminate flowers, though the reverse is also true. Primarily male hermaphrodites are not as well recognized only because few growers let their males reach a point of flowering where the pistillate would be expressed. Hermaphrodite cannabis plants are generally viewed with disfavor. First, they will release pollen and ruin a sinsemilia crop, pollinating themselves and all of the other females in the room. Second, the resulting seeds tend to pass on the tendency to their offspring. [note: that occasionally specious staminate flowers will appear in the last days of flowering of a female marijuana plant. These do not drop pollen and their appearance is not considered evidence of deleterious hermaphroditism.]” (Amsterdam MJ seed bank)

i didn't realize that some strains have a tendency to show "nanners" at the end of their flowering! when mine did that i thought i'd done something wrong, which maybe i did, BUT, i like knowing that maybe i didn't! LOL

There are a lot of people on here that give the wrong info. Some of us just need to learn from our own mistakes. But there are some people out there that do give the correct info and do help others. Don't feel bad this was just a minor mistake and you did great by posting. Keep it up
