On a regular basis i see people talk of hermies. Some gardners even post full blown males and say wow another hermie.

While most gardners are early in the learning curve you should understand these plants are not all that common. Some strains produce alot of hermies but that is from the genitic makeup. since i have a very large garden they are not always seen early like someone who has 3-6 plants.

i use 3 flowering rooms this is to insure when i do want to breed these plants are seperate from the Sensi crop. when i am flowering plants for the first time they never go to the sensi room.

Below is a few pictures of a hermie i raise in the pollonation room, this plant will flower after 2 weeks of 12/12 at 5 1/2 weeks of 12/12 these male flowers occur. however it is most always too late to make viable seeds. so i took clones and flowered one 2 weeks ahead and use its pollen to breed its clone 1 pollen to clone 2. this results in seeds that have 4 weeks to mature 95% of these seeds are female, however 1 of 15 will be another hermie.

it is best to avoid hermies in our garden unless you want to breed " bad genitics into your crops". i keep certain hermies based on yeild and thc levels.

This hermie is from skywalker and is stronger than any of the female plants i raise of this strain. yeilds are small but the bud is stinky sticky and gets top dollar per gram even with a few seeds. adverage 4 foot plant 2.25 ounces dried under 1k hps

Are these going to be hermies or males? I see lots of white pistol looking things coming out the tops of most of them.

So are all my plants hermies/males or did I just cut one a little early??

no i think you are seeing early developement of fan leaves as pistols, most hermies have one or two "Balls" per node...


your plant pictured is 100 boy, i ee no evidence of female at all. form the looks of it pollen will be blowing everywhere within 10 days from that picture.

100% male i hate people who know nothing and post your the reason people know nothing i cant believe you said thats 100% male first of all why would it have female flowers asshole and do you think the guy would go through all the trouble of growing bomb ass skywalker if he didnt know what he was talkin about?? go back to your stress

yeah there hermies for sure look at all the white pistols if people think these are males an that the white pistols are early fan leave development must be smoking a bit toooo much if ya know wot i mean

thats what i reckon smithy!

That's exactly what I thought! I don't really see any pistils, looks like new leaf growth to me. for sure its a boy and not a hermie. hermies show as female first and a few pollen sacks show up a bit later, they don't look male at first.


Edit: Then i looked at the dates on this thread, damn!!! ausbud responding to shit from a year and a half ago.
