Is this hermie?

So yeah I usually have no problem sexing plants but this has me stumped. I am 5 days into flowering and the rest are all showing nice pistols except this one but it isn't showing balls really either. I am going to let it go and see how it turns out, but if anyone has an idea let me know.

Honestly, my last grow looked just like that. It took 3 1/2 weeks for pistils to start showing up. And it threw a few bananas toward the end. Did that particular plant get extra N, or is that particular pheno more sensitive to nutes? Because I determined that my problem was too much N going into flower.

That could be balls, or like mine, it could be a pistiless calyx. Tough to tell without it being magnified. I say this, because balls usually come in clusters, and stick out on their own stems somewhat. That looks pretty tight to the stem. Not sure, need more magnification to be sure.

It does look like a ball from that angle so I tried to take a better pic for you. If you save it then zoom in you can see better.

For some reason it didn't attach the photo, trying again..

Yeah it is weird, it is showing what looks like pistiless calyx's and there are really fine hairs forming on the buds.

Yea, it could be a ball. But like I said, my last grow was nearly identical. I isolated the problem plant and played it out. Those same balls spat out pistils a few weeks later, and I didn't have any seeding in the bud at all. So it's gonna be a judgement call on your part. If you can, I would isolate it. If you can't then depending on how many girls you are running it may be safer to pull that plant.

Yeah possibly too much N. It looks different to the rest of the plants it was a lot darker green then the rest and wasn't showing nute burn when the others did. They were all from bag seed so not sure what pheno's I am growing. Was my first time with DWC so didn't want to start with good seeds.

Yeah I think I will give it another week and isolate it to see what it does, it is one of the bigger plants so don't want to make a judgement call until I am sure about the sex.

Mine was really dark also. Considering it's bagseed it's hard to tell that plants sensitivity to nutes it would also be more likely one plant was more sensitive than the others, giving that all the plants are running different traits.

Good luck 3viL, I hope it turns out well for you.

Yeah I think I will have a lot less hassles next grow when I am using decent seeds, going to get some GSC femmed. That way atleast I will know how much nutes to run and they will all be the same. I really should of thought in advance how much of a fuck around growing several different types of weed would be. Esp since they are in totes, so some get more nutes then they are happy with while the others are difficient.
