Can a plant be both sex's ?

[highallthetime]

I have had a few plants show female flowers first. Then after some time. They start showing male clusters. What would be my best options? To perhaps fixing this problem. I have a few pure female plants left.

I'd plug the nanners for a while and see how it goes. If it starts to produce female flowers only, it should be kool, but if the balls keep on swinging.. Toss it asap. Don't want a hermie seeding all yer females.

How far into flowering are you? Depends on how far into flowering you are, late flowering can produce nanners that look like male pollen sacks, but most of the time do not open but do carry pollen in them and can sometimes create seeds in them.

If your early flowering, you got full blown male sacks, if you have a lot of them it would be best to chop it or remove it from the room if you have other sensimea females, don't want hermie pollinating your gals!

Check for light leaks first

Check for light leaks first

Always the first thing to check when sex deviation occurs.

I recently sprouted a seedling that I swear turned both male and female while sexing during first few weeks of flower. Clear as day balls on the lower half while calyx hairs started sprouting on the top half. It was not a stress herm (light leaks, etc). But I killed it since it was in the flower room with 20 females and couldnt risk any pollenation. Weird plant.

its called a hermie

I had a male I was waiting to collect pollen from which one day exploded with female hairs coming out all around the pollen sacks. The male part of the plant stopped growing and the female side seemed to take over.

So yes. Nature will always find a way of surviving.

i got seeds with a mid flower hermie mom. its in the genes. when i planted about fifty seeds i ended up with like 10 solid females 20to25 full blown hermies and the rest males. so much is in the genetics. i had plants where one side shoot was all female and the other side all male
