Is it possible to hermi 2 weeks before harvest?

[reado]

Howdy!

This is my first grow from seed to flower (all previous attempts have all been male)

I have a Mazar plant that's about 6.5 weeks into flower using soil less mix

About a week and a half ago I started to have some serious pH issues with leaf tips rusting and turning upwards. I also had a few leaves coming out of the buds starting to get orange and brown in the middle of the leaf.

I flushed my plant, trimmed off the brown and it seemed like everything was back on track but now I'm starting to notice these little yellow-green leaves growing out from the bud sites... like they would show up in the middle of a nug. These leaves seem to be longer and thicker then regular pistils and look similar to early male flowers... like typically I'll find anywhere from 2 to 4 of these leaves together..

At first I thought it might be new pistols but now the hypochondriac in me is saying that maybe the flower has gone hermi and is starting to produce male pollen sacks. Like I know the plant was under a lot of stress in the last few weeks but I thought I was safe...

Is it possible that plants can start showing male flowers late in the game?
and if so... WHAT DO I DO TO FIX IT!??

I'm just going to let the plant dry out a bit more then i was going to start with water & molasses followed by harvest in about 2 weeks.

I don't have any pics b/c my cell phone camera is crap but I can borrow a camera if need be..

Any insight would REALLY be appreciated!

Thanks everyone

Does it look like this guy, just above center?



Just pull them off.

Yeah, pretty similiar.. except that they are a bit smaller and there would be multiple of those on each bud

But there are about 30 of them or so in total for the whole plant and are located on almost every bud site.

Pull 'em?!

And I'm assuming that if you're telling me to pull 'em its because they are male flowers?

If it is in the stage freezer showed it is sometimes also called late nanners, could be semi formed balls or all the way formed where pollen could shoot out.

If you are just now seeing them 2 weeks before harvest either 1) you missed some in some areas and they are pollen sacks, or 2) just started to form recently and if so they are also called nanners, pollen sacks that will never burst like a normal pollen sack, it's a half formed and half not formed sack, happens a lot with feminized seeds and stress to the plant and genes can all play a role in when they develop and how they form.

If it's located on every bud site like that, then there has to be a mixture it seems, some formed earlier and later, pick the ones that look like they are going to open up, the bigger ones.

Yeah, I saw that in some plants this late once, it was the result of a messed up lighting schedual, and some fertilising stress.
