Hermie, help! Emergency surgery? (pics)

I thought I had a female until these little balls started dangling off of my nodes. There is one spot with a pair of pistils and some kind of female flowering going on definitely but are these balls male pollen sacks and if so should I snip them off or something?

its a male plant. cut it or it is going to start seeding your garden very soon

Are you sure? Its hard (/impossible) to tell from the pictures but there are definitely pistils on it and some kind of budding but I think the male flowers already may have pollinated the hell out of most of the female flowers and made them all seedy. Any thoughts? At this point I don't have a garden to worry about anyway since this is one of only two plants I am growing (until next time!)

Sorry dude, it's a boy.

you didn't want 2 hear this m8, but is a male/severe hermy(pollinated) plant! cut plant immediately to prevent pollination of rest of your crop! DONT let this put you off growing m8, i grew a 5ft male for my first grow, atleast you still have 1 female to fall back on! always concentrate on the strongest!

Yeah, you're right. I think it might have actually been a male plant that went a little hermie the other way (red herring pistils!). Luckily, the other one is almost certainly a female although it was the smaller plant, I just noticed the pistils today and I can definitely tell the difference so far!

So, I decided to cut off the top half of the hermie plant because there were new bud sites without any male flowers so far (I will be watching closely) and happily it looks like my other plant is just starting to flower. Is there any chance it could have been pollinated? The pistils didn't appear until right around the time I chopped the other one.

As I Said Before M8,always Concentrate On The Strongest,or In Ur Case Ur Other Plant ,that You Say Did Not Produce Pistils Until U Had Chopped That Hermie Top Off, You Do Realise That In Doing So, You Have What People Call "topp'd Ur Hermie Plant" This Is Done By Gardeners To Produce Multiple Cola's (large Terminal Buds) You Now Pose A Higher Thret Of Pollination Of Your True Female Plant! It May Hurt,but Get Rid Of That Hermie Immediately M8, Or It Will Ruin Your Entire Grow! One Healthy Female Is Much Better Than 2 Fekn Hermies! Good Luck With Your Grow M8! To Avoid Further Hermafrodite Plants, Go With Greenhouse Seeds,preferablly With Landrace Genetics And Other Seed That Has Been Around For A Bit And Have Stabilized The Strain As Much As Possible! Try To Avoid Severely Hybridised Seed!

Once A Plant Has Shown Any Hermaphrodite Tendencies,i Am Not Talking About A Couple Of Small Banana Shaped Flowers On Ur Bud In The Lst Week Of Flowering, But Male And Female Pre-flowers Distinguished Before Enducing Flowering By Switching To 12/12 From 18/6 And Switching To A Bloom Fertilizer, The Plant Will Never Recover,but Only Further Turn More Hermaphrodite! Hence, Get Rid Of That Hermie Plant!

I had a great strain that tended strongly to hermi. I used Reverse by Dutch Master (the name is misleading - they are Australian but "Dutch" has positive connotations) as directed with Penetrator. Reverse contains some pretty powerful hormones and hormone altering molecules so put on your zip-front full body cover (I got one at Home Depot for painting then scotch guarded it) and at the least a paper face mask - I wear a respirator. Wear rubber gloves and eye / full face cover. Spray Hermis or males - Penetrator is a totally overpriced item but it does also work. I believe they are the ONLY products by DM that DO work. Foliar Feeding is a bad idea anyways - google it - but this combo had my hermis go totally female and flowered great. I expected some seeds and poor flowers - got neither.
Hope this helps - total cost for Reverse and Penetrator should be about $50 US.

Why do you use reverse and Pentrator why not just reverse?

I suggest you segregate any males and eliminate all hermaphrodites immediately unless you want seeds, then keep the male.
