I was wondering what a hermaphrodite and a male marijuana plant look like when they first show sex. do the balls on a male plant cluster at the top and look like a small bud?

i can see nut sacks clearly on the stem but at the top sorta looks clustered but i dont see any hairs from what i can tell. wouldnt it have hairs sticking out around the sacks or something?

also if someone were to leave a herm with a female and it seeded, would all those seeds be herms or would some of them turn out ok? if your tell me its going to be bad seeds im going to tell my friend to kill it.

Initially the balls form where the grow tips meet the main stalk. Then they will form clusters of balls. You will not see hairs coming from balls - hairs are pistils on the female plant. Generally a hermie will not show hermie traits at the beginning of flowering. The male flowers will appear later in the flowering cycle.

Hermies breed hermies - I would not use the seeds personally.

Hermies breed Hermie's? How is this possible, when it's not a genetic trait?

Females that are stressed produce hermies

A plant that has pollinated itself because it had both male and female flowers regardless of what caused the hermaphroditism will produce seeds that will inevitably be hermies themselves. Hermies are a genetic trait - not all plants hermie because of stress - some are just predisposed to be that way.
I would not use the seeds.

hermies suck shit.. grew my girl them looked n she had balls too..fuck.........got high off the lil budz that where there tho..lol

I had hermie, not sure why it went that way but i think it was competition in my crowded growroom. The top part of the plant is all fem tho, so I just cutoff like 75 percent of the plant and left the fem top to flower. The bottom was all mixed sex, everything all mixed together, very weird... It was the slowest plant in the grow, so maybe it was feeling the stress and wanted to try to pollinate the better plants around it as a survival mechanism.
