Hermi? Balls with stigmas/pistils growing out of it.

[farm3r]

I have a Super Lemon Haze that's been flowering from seed for about 5 weeks. At the 4th week, I noticed these ball-like structures that look like male balls but there are stigmas (pistils/hair) that are growing out of it. From far away, they look like balls for sure, but upon close inspection and I opened one up, there are stigmas/pisitls growing out of it. The balls or pollen sacks have not opened and I haven't seen any pollen yet. Is this normal for hermi plants, balls with pistils? Take a look at these photo.


I have already chopped off all the balls, misted the area with water, and going to let her finish if not too many balls are growing all over the place.



I have two other flowering plants in the tent and I know I am taking risk of pollinating the others. But seeing that the balls or structures that look like balls have pistils growing out of them and the fact that I haven't seen pollen yet, makes me curious enough to grow her out. And the fact that there's a tone of bud sites and she's healthy, also makes me want to let her finish.

Yep, massive hermie!
A typical Lemon Haze does not look/grow like that.

Yeh, it's weird. It's like this thing is on super steroid. This is one of another reason why I want to let her run.

It's just a full on hermie and if I'd take a guess I'd say it will produce more balls then bud, chop it down so you won't get the other plants filled with hermieseeds.

Yes, I know. I'd already did one round of balls chopping. I will see if it continues to grow more balls. If only a few balls grow, then I'll pick them off and continue to let her grow. However, if a ton of new balls grow, then she will be on the chopping block.
