Another Hermi question

[PdxFarms]

New guy here... first time dealing with hermi's. 22 days into flower, I have 3 beautiful ladies that seem to have a mind of their own. I'm fairly confident these are hermi/male sacks... pretty easy to tell but then again it's my first time dealing with them. These plants did see some stress about 4 weeks into their 12 week veg. One actually started to flower and reverted back due to high temps and and cold nights (2 days the thermostat controller was acting up) and a few power outages during winter, one lasting 4 hours that interrupted their 18/6 light. I'm sure that is what brought this on.

Here are the pics




The Questions is.... as much as I hate to, I know I need to pull them, like right now. But, Now I am wondering what my next round and the 2 rounds after that sitting in my veg room are going to do.... My setup is not cheap. Id hate to run the next round all the way out only to find they do the same thing. What would you do? This is a legal medical grow with multiple growers. Throw the rest out in veg and don't waist the money/time or run them out?

Thanks

Umm, dont think those are herms. Can't remember the term, but that's very common, u'll be fine..

those are female calyx's aka bracts... they are what make up buds or a nug when collected together closely on a stem.

what you are seeing seem to be preflowers... the first bracts to appear during flowering at the nodes.

here is what male pollen sacks look like and its also a herm... with the female flowers on top

 

[Crusader Rabbit]

Yeah, those look like female preflowers. In the top picture it looks very swollen, almost as if it held a seed.

Thanks guys.

These are only on 3 of the 10 count in the room. And are on the 3 that saw the most stress in veg (I labeled them to keep my eye on them) which I kept to one side of the room. The rest of the plant is flowering nicely and these balls are at almost each inter node from about half way up the plant to the top. In pairs, one on each side. I popped one off, took it in another room and attempted to split it open under the mag. A yellow pulpy inside but I couldnt make out if it was flower or pollen sacks. I'll take a closer look today. This is a new strain for me
"sweet irish kush" Appreciate the help. If it helps, this is where we are in flower (As you can tell these did not see much training, trimming, topping etc... and the canopy is out of control but they are healthy)
Sorry for the HPS photos

And why would there not be any pistils coming from them if they were a female calyx?

 

[MJPassion]

Check those calyxes in a few more days and inspect every inch of every single plant in the room.

If you haven't sexed your plants there could be a boy in the room. If you have sexed your plants, look for nanners (male parts protruding from female bracts.

Hope this helps ya out.

And why would there not be any pistils coming from them if they were a female calyx?

sometimes the preflowers that come out at the node where the petiole splits from the stem are sterile and dont have pistils either that or they have been pollinated and the pistils have receded

 

[who dat is]

Yes, those are female preflowers. I'll echo what everybody else on here is saying in that you are fine. Continue to flower them out as planned. Even if they might throw a nanner or two you can always inspect the plant and tweezer off any unwanteds. You might be playing with fire at that point as well but only worry if you have to cross that bridge.

come on over to the history of herms

 

[PdxFarms]

Thanks. They are clones from a mother plant.
Ill keep them around and keep my eyes on them. Another piece of history on this particular plant. I made a call to the friend of mine where these clones originated from and he informed me he had a few issues with nanners toward the end of flower on his last round with this strain. Thanks again

ya that

I have seen a male sac develop on a female but the difference is that it looks like it is on a stem.
