Plants seem to be stalled, Hermie?

Hey all

Just wanted to get some.input from anyone who may have an opinion. I have two plants in flower both on week 5ish, berry Ryder and ultra lemon haze. Both were supposedly autos but never produced so they were put into 12/12 on Jan 4. They have looked great up until the past few days. Some of the buds are starting to push out what I believe to be Hermie/male traits. Pistils are very orange on select buds and the sugar leaves are popping out rounded which I have been told is an early sign of male flowers? Is this true? The plants themselves seemed to have stalled in growth. Anyone with opinions/insight are welcomeI've attached a bunch of pics, please let me know what anyone thinks. Thank you in advance.

I think both of these strains are from auto seeds right? I ran polar express from them and they seemed to just stall on me as well. Idk how they would’ve finished becaus I decided to grow photoperiod instead and just chopped them down. One of my first grows. That last picture looks a little suspicious.

Very interesting pthobson, I believe they were. A friend got then from the single seed center and I was gifted them. The last picture to me is definitely the most suspect- bracts seem to have really swollen up which makes me concerned. I honestly already cut off everything I posted just to be sure. I have photo period plants in there now along with them. I'll have to keep a close watch, thanks for your input.

I don't see anything hermie in those pictures. Whoever told you that what you're experiencing is an early sign of male flowers doesn't know what they're talking about and you should not seek out their advice in the future.

What are you feeding? It looks like you've gone too heavy on the bloom boosters which can cause the flowers to mature sooner which would explain the orange pistils and the stalled growth.

Thanks for the input xtsho. It really frustrates me the amount of misinformation there is pertaining to cannabis. I literally never know what or who to believe.

I have been running ppms around 1200, perhaps I did go a little heavy on the herc harvest. I am set to refill my nutes tomorrow anyway, I'm going to back off on p+k and hope these next few weeks go smoothly, I'll post some more pics soon

1200 is too high in general in mid to late flower. What kind of light are you using?

i agree with Xt and Hrh....too much p and k too soon. you in soil or peat or coco? or ? i think i'd give those a light flush and at this point, cut the nutes about in half....
too much P and K will also start blocking Mag, and that's where you start getting deformed looking new growth, and those dark spots on your leaves

Thanks so much guys for your input. I am running two mars hydro 900w LED and two autocob 150w.

I'm going to flush them out with distilled water for a day or two and then re assess the next nute mix. I'll keep you all updated.

You'll know when you have hermies, trust me.

"hmm, what ARE they?" - small yellow bannanas.... shit!

They are really obvious. Proper miniscule bananas.

Had them with one batch of seeds. Nightmare. Just caught them before too much damage to the ladies. Remaining seeds in bin.
