Is this what I think it is??

I have noticed that many hairs have started turning brown and red in the past week. I wouldn't be worried but the buds are so tiny that it cannot be ready to harvest. I then found what looks to be a male flower which means my girl went hermie on me. Should I just harvest what I can now and count it as a loss? The suspected male flower is right in the middle of the first pic.DSC02455.jpgDSC02457.jpgDSC02454.jpg

you could try pulling the pollen sacs off and keep growing. the fem part should still make thc and grow, as long as the pollen sacs dont grow enough to pollenate it.\

So that is definitely a male sac in the first pic? I guess I could pull them off and continue to grow. I really don't want to have to check them everyday and hope it doesn't pollinate my other two plants that are of a good strain. This is just a bag seed plant thats why shes prolly going hermie on me. So I guess my only two options are to remove it or pull off the male flowers and continue to flower..

I dont know...but I have the same looking thing, and same question...when I googled pics of hermies, they looked pretty similar

Looks like 2 hermie sacs in the first pic. If you don't want to risk pollinating you other girls, you should remove the plant from the grow area and finish it else where or destroy. The buds will still be smoke able if you finish it, just seeded.

So this is a pic of the 3 tiny buds that had orange/brown hairs. They weigh a little over a gram each(dry) so minus the weight of the stem they should only have 1g of actual smokable material. I am blaming bad genetics for this one because my other two plants are looking excellent with buds bigger than this in 4 weeks of flower.
