hermie?

[Shliite]

SO i am just shy of 5 weeks flowering and I think i've spotted some balls on both of my girls. I'm almost positive these are both hermies but im looking for some outside opinions.

I think there are some light leaks from my veg chamber that need fixing... i didnt think it was anything major though... I guess it doesnt take much. There was also a night in the first week or so of flowering that i accidentally left a desk lamp on overnight.

The K2 hermied last run in soil but also might have had light leaks.. there were only like 8 seeds in the whole 1.5 oz and most were unmatured. I suppose that this K2 is hermie because it was a cutting off of that same plant revegged.

I was wondering if this means that my Sweet Warp clone is hermie too? I took it from the mom before i switched into flower, and it was grown from seed. If i assume that the genetics were not the cause of the hermie, does this mean the cutting is safe?

When do these look like they will burst? I was always looking for "nanners" but i never saw any. Now that i've looked at some visible internodes i see the seed pods. I dont know how i missed them for this long. Would it be worth it to try clipping all of them or will this cause some sort of pollinating effect? And lastly, does this mean there will be seed in the bud or just at the internodes like the visible ones?

It was looking like a good yield but i guess i wont know the full potential of these plants just yet.

(ah sorry im working on getting the pics up - it keeps telling me that my macro shots are unreadable or not the right size or something) - we can just assume for now that they are hermied and that ball looking structures with a couple hairs coming out of them in some cases are on almost every internode.

Balls that appear late in flowering are called nanners and most of the time they do not burst open; but if they do; rather like male pollen sacks... they only let out a slight amount and only affects the small area where the nanners were at....

If you got balls they can form at any time; but balls that are going to spread pollen through the entire grow normally grow about the 2nd week of flowering, they start early where nanners are late pollen sacks

When you get pics up we will see if you got a hermie.
Ya, that lighting change will do it for ya..... thats all it takes to stress the gal out to turn hermie on ya; she does a self sex change!

When did you take cuttings of your sweet warp? How far into flowering? Normally you are not supossed to take cuttings early flowering...... you want them to get on a routine while they are in flowering.....

Or you are supossed to take cuttings before flowering; taking off the lower branches for clones, the lower parts of the plant are the easiest in taking cuttings from, because they are the ones that will root better; the farther up you move on the plant the more harder they can be to clone; woody stems are bad cuttings and are much harder to root...... bendy stems are the best to use for clones; also taking those lower cuttings you also remove popcorn bud sites and increase yield by forcing the plant to produce on the bigger colas rather than putting it's energy into making the popcorn buds.

Genes play a big role too if the plant is going to hermie; female strains are very prone to doing this; what most companies do not tell you is that if you want the 100% female ratio; you must have them in pristine growing conditions and not have them under any stress; where it involves lighting, watering and nutrients.......

When did the balls start to form just recently?
When we see the pics we will be able to tell how far along those balls formed.

i keep trying to load different pictures but none of them work... i keep getting these messages:

I plucked a bunch of seed pods on the K2...hopefully that was the right thing to do

I took the clone before i changed the lights to 12/12.
I didnt notice the seed pods until just a few days ago. Some of them are bigger than others, and the pods on the lower parts of the plants are much more noticeable. By the size of them i'd say they have been forming for a while...but i doubt since the 2nd week of flower. I have noticed that the buds seemed to slow down, growth wise, in the past week or so.

tried hosting on another site..lets see if this works

Ya looks like you got some late nanners; just keep an eye on the rest of the plant to make sure no more come up... the last pic does not look like a ball but looks like a female pistil

 

[Shliite]

is it bad that i take them off? could that stunt growth or cause it to spread a little more?

 

[DontBanMe]

I dont see any signs of hermie, everything looks to me just like swollen female single calyxs filled with resin.

The only one that looks like it might be a nanner is in the first pic. I can't tell cuz it's too far away and blurry, but just behind the petiole btw. the stem; it looks like there is a calyx that is lighter colored. TW will throw nanners late in flower, and sometimes they are sneaky... they hide in the bud, but you can spot them because the color is just 'off' from the rest of the plant. usually several shades lighter/yellower. The color here is similar, but even that looks like it has two 'hairs' coming out of it. It could, and still be a nanner, but regardless, I can't tell w/out a better pic.

As far as the other pics go... They look great! All I see is an isolated calyx, similar to an enlarged pre-flower. Nary a nanner in sight. So, unless I'm missing something here (I'm not) you're doing great. Post a clearer shot of what's in pic one, and I'll tell ya fer sure, but I'm thinking no way jose.

ps- yeah, you can pinch them, and it doesn't kill the plant or anything. Just make sure you dont spread pollen by either bursting it, or removing/squishing and then touching the plant in other places. When dealing w/ hermi pollen....shut off your fans ahead of time!!!

Male parts (including hermies) have multiple ball sacs in one spot, kind of like a new banana bunch on a banana tree. Little bunches of balls.

I see nothing but normal female growth there to be honest. There are even white hairs growing out of them. So I see no evidence of hermies.

Male parts yes but nanners do not always have to be in multiple places you can have one here and there..... his plant does not have male balls but yes he has a few nanners but the pic is so blurry I can't tell 100% if he does or not but it does look like he has at least one........
