Need sex confirmation ...

So if this is an environmental problem and Im sure it is .. will the clones I took off that herm'd female still be good? They should be right? After all the plant was female.. Im sure the light leaks caused the problem.

I had no idea they were THAT sensitive. I knew there couldnt be light leaks.. but geezus. lol

yes your clones are ok
When I worked a tent I covered it with 6ml black plastic and taped it secure, so no light what so ever would show through. Learned that along time ago.
It's a process.
pull the male pods off your female, separate the males collect the pollen and make some good seeds, if you use the herm pollen you will have a greater chance of herms with those seeds known as Selfed or S1. use the pollen on your clones for seed.
all will work out
peace

Really appreciate the input.

So I just climbed inside and zipped it up... get this ... the light is coming from my ducting! Somehow its bouncing through the ductwork, and hitting the inside of the reflector and being casted down .... directly on the plant.

In addition I did find some other light leaks too ... for certain.

Im seriously considering selling off all my tents and buying materials to build something that will work properly.

So can I still flower out this single female if I pull the male pods off? Or should I toss her and start over??

there is no environmental problem seeds are sexualy predetermined its simply the law of averages at play !!

iv grown 4 packs of seeds at the same time in the same environment 1 pack had 8 males other 7 females but out of 40 i got 22 females !!

when you pop allot of seed you realise its simply just the luck of the drew its just statistics if you grow enough it will always end up roughly equal

 

[Obsidian]

you could
may have to fight the herms

Growhi .... but I have a hermie .... doesn't that indicate an environmental problem?

 

[Obsidian]

growhi is wrong, he/she evidently can't read, plus from his/her past posts on other threads, doesn't know much about growing.
it is environmental.
keep up the good wotk OZZ

You know.....I have 5 more ak beans. I have a male and female clone. I think I'm going to flower the male and female to make seeds. Then redesign my grow room... then work with the feminized seeds I have so I don't have to worry about the sex thing. Once I'm comfortable with that ill go back to these to look for a mom.

Looks I have a ton of work ahead of me ...

i found ak to be very sensitive to light leaks but never saw a hermie. nanners late in flower but not hermies. lost 2 crops to a small light leak. they got to about 35 days of flower everything looked great and then they started vegging again. it sucked.

nanners late in flower but not hermies

So female plants put out nanners late in flower because of a light leak ... wouldnt that be a hermie?

cannabis tends to herm even in natural conditions near the end of their life-cycle to create a new generation.
Buddha's Sister is notorious if you let her go to long even with no light leaks.

im not wrong , iv grown more seeds than you have had hot dinners !
you get males with the odd pistil , there all males he was just unlucky !

growing 5 seeds out you cant take any conclusions from that , and plus a true stable female could handle a slight light leek anyway

seeds have predetermined sex he was just unlucky to grow 5 male seeds

I dont consider it a hermie. a lot of times nanners are sterile or happen so late seed development does not happen. Now balls or early nanners are a different story and would worry me more. never had a full blown hermie.

growhi you are a typical n00b who has no experience
your posts on this thread and other threads prove it.

stop stirring the shit, all your posts stink of lies

 

[Greenheart]

I've seen a male do a full bloom under 17/7 lighting that pollinated the preflowers on the vegging females.

noob with no experience ? and excuse me i expressed my opinion and you personally attacked me for no reason , so i think you need to look to your self about the stirring shit accusation ??

this is a forum were people give opinions , you cant spit your dummy/pacifier out every time someone has a differing one to yours , you need to know your place !

your wrong and anyone with growing experience knows your wrong simple as that lol

seen the same thing and it actually happened with ak47 under 24/7. op watch letting them get rootbound ak is notorious for autoflowering if the roots dont have enough space.

sorry i missed your post , to me its not a hermie its a male with a pistil, its got multiple balls , just grow it out and see what happens but if it was a true stable female it wouldn't do that , period

but that's just my opinion
