I have a plant that I can’t tell if it’s a male, a hermie, or possibly a pollenated female. Would love help. Photos below. The potential hermie doesn’t have any pistils. It’s just a lot more dense than the other obvious males. And if it’s a pollenated female, it’s a lot farther along than any of the other females which are just starting to flower.
Man talk about running a stud stable, every last one of those are males, females would have white pistils, all I see are balls, lots and lots of banana balls
It’s a good looking dude. No pistils and from I’m seeing a potential keeper. Throwing a damn good amount of Trichomes from the looks of things. Always a good sign. Looks like a nice shade of purple just peeking as well. Tight flower clusters. If it dumps I’d definitely attempt to collect some pollen.
Ok, I can usually spot males pretty early but these two plants have me scratching my head… it has plenty of female hairs, but unlike my other young’uns, these also have tiny yellowish round “things” mixed into the center of each young bud… nothing male-looking on any branches or in any crotches… just these tiny “dots” mixed in with the fuzzy parts. My camera isn’t great on taking closeups of small things, but I tried:
Also worth noting: these are clones from a female plant grown from a feminized seed, BUT at the end, just a few days before I would have harvested her anyway, I noticed a couple of boy-flowers, so she was turning Hermie in the homestretch. No other plants in that crop had flowers, balls or seeds. I went ahead and chopped her down that day… she only lost about 4 days of growing time until she would have been put in drying phase anyway, but I didn’t want to risk giving those boy flowers a chance to mature. There were no seeds in it, so apparently I caught it in time.
PS: here’s another view of the pic above… with the contrast turned up a little:
They are three days older now than when those pics were made… here are more pics where the little balls are slightly bigger… they look like tiny cabbages tucked in among the girl hairs… They are only on this strain, none of the others have mini cabbages…
I think you would have been okay for four more days. The boy flowers or pollen sacks have to mature, explode, hit the female pistol and then 4 to 6 weeks later you will get a seed.
