So I'm sure I'm beating a dead horse but, I've been scouring pics of preflower calyxs and hermie whatnots for hours and still can't decide. I am in my 5th week of flower and can not tell if I have a hermie or not. No bananas on any plants. These were clones bought from a dispensary in denver.

Best of luck. This is the 2nd time I get hermies. Male and female are basic but hermies seem to play tricks on me. I can seem to find them in time.

This is so entertaining. It's not funny I can remember a few times of such anxiety, but it's still kinda funny. To the OP your plant is fine, to everyone else post pics.

I wish I would have thought of it while I was in my room 20 minutes ago, I could have found a nanner somewhere to take some photos. I have a couple strains that ALWAYS sprout a couple nanners out but they're always sterile nanners. I never get any seeds from them.

In my personal experience, male flowers showing in the last 2 weeks of flower never cause any issues other than looking sinister, but other than cosmetic imperfection it doesn't cause any seed. Hell there were even a few strains I've ran over the years that popped full blown nanners before week 6 of flower, I'm talking fully opened and spreading pollen and it caused bout 3 seeds on the single branch the nanner was on. I used to cull any strains that hermied no matter how late they hermed but I have learned to identify a true hermie apart from a stress-induced sterile nanner or two and as long as nothing hermies before the home stretch I don't mind keeping the cross dressing wierdos.

Male flowers are pretty easy to tell apart from female flowers after you have seen a few of them. A male flower really stands out and is easy to see when just doing routine work in the garden. They are bright yellow and they look like a micro banana poking straight out of a bud. Theres no mistaking a male flower. You will know it when you see it and there will be no doubt in your mind as to what it is.

I'll try to remember to get a shot of a male flower on one of my plants tomorrow during work time. Knowing my memory though, I'll probably forget unless I have a RIU alert to remind me tomorrow. Forgive me, my short term memory isn't exactly polished.

Ill see if I can post pics. Just my luck 5 out of 5 are hermie. That why I let them go. It was hard to tell 2nd and 3rd week in. Ill see of I can figure out how to post some pics. Im not a newbie and have over a dozen batches but when u get a problem like herms its never happen to me and I am no expert. Thanks and hope to gave pics tonight

Where did you get the seeds from? I understand letting em go. But that's shitty genetics or plant stress!

EDIT: well I typed out a couple paragraphs that disappeared when I hit submit. In a nutshell it just explained that I wasnt able to find a nanner by just peaking into the room. I know theres some inside there but I have to pull out a half dozen plants at least to get to the strains that hermie every single time. I know they're in there, I just have to find them and I'm not going to dig a bunch of plants out just to snap a single pic.

I have to do my feedings tomorrow anyhow so I'll do it tomorrow.

I'll remember tomorrow. Until then, don't freak out. I PROMISE there are no nanners in those photos the OP posted.

Heres the room I have to dig apart tomorrow night.

I let one of the girls go a extra week..give me a few seeds. Then there were 3 or4 grows. All ladies. Good seed. Then a few back I got about 100 seeds maybe more and noticed a few dried pods but never really thought anything of it. I needed a few anyway. And the other 5 girls were in ready to start flower. They were cloned . So one out of that batch could have been from a clone hermie which I never checked for hermie because I always just took a quick look and they looked female, that was it. Those 5 grew and had seeds also. Which I didnt know till week5 and they were alot of them. But by then they others were ready and I didnt know which moma they come from. So I let them go and marked my clones with the moma I got them from. Stupid me.lol Now I have clones marked and soon will be.sexing. So thats were I at and man this is long..sorry.
