help identifying hermie during flower

Anyone have good closeup pictures of plants that have gone hermie during flowering? This is my first grow and one of the plants was from a hermie seed so I'm keeping a close watch to see if it goes hermie on me. So far I don't think it has, but I'm not exactly sure what to look for. Identifying hermies when they're vegging/preflower is pretty easy but once they've budded I'm not sure what to look for. Thanks.

well to tell you the truth this is thr first time i've ever seen a marijuana plant in person so I'm not exactly sure what to look for. I've thrown out males that had some balls when i first started flowering but the plants are old enough that the buds are pretty developed with trichomes covering everything. would the male flowers be mixed inside the buds? or next to them? i have no idea where to start...

If you see a little yellow banana poking thru the bud, you prolly got yerself a hermie.

Tho, Verite is correct. You may be able to find a pic if you use the search engine. Maybe in the cannabis infirmary or the flowering pix section. I'm not positive, but it's where I would start.

Good luck. :wave:

i tried to search through threads but most ppl have questions regarding identifying hermies before everything has bloomed. couldn't find any clear pictures of hermied flowers.

i THINK i saw a photo once, but damn i swear sometimes i read a thread here one day and then never find it again

My plants didn't show any signs of hermie until at least 5 weeks into flower. The most obvious one in this photo is on the right side of the bud, about 2/3 down. It's a lot more yellow than the rest, and looks like a banana. I just let it go, and there were no mature seeds in my harvest, and no more than 20 little white ones.

If the plant doesn't get stressed and has all the nutrients and moisture it needs, it shouldn't start herming up now.... And if it does, just pick out the male flowers.
