<<PICS>> is this a hermi? <<PICS>>

i was checking my plants today and found these little beauties. my plants have been in flower for 5 weeks now, under a combo of cfl's and hps. i only water with distilled water when the meter tells me to. i only use nutes every 14 days. alaska big bloom, 0-10-10. these plants are covered in bud sites and i have no males any where. they have been inside the whole time. i have not noticed this growth before,


also i have "heard" that if a plant has brown hairs it has been pollinated. but i have also heard different, and seen pics of plants that are covered in brown hairs and not one seed.

the pics are of 2 different plants. the first pic is the growth and then the top cola of the same plant with no seeds in it. the third and fourth pics are of another plant that is sprouting brown hairs out of the stem when it first opens.

and if i do have a hermi, when would i see seeds? do they only come at the very end? any help and i will plus one your rep.



PLEASE ONLY ANSWER IF YOU KNOW FOR SURE!!! PLEASE DONT HI-JACK THE THREAD AND GET OFF TOPIC.

THANK YOU!

Pics 1 and 5 are definately balls...It does not look open yet but you will not be able to see them all.
You will start seeing the seed closer to harvest time.Thats when they will be developed and ripe enough.

yessir thats a hermi if i ever seen one

should i pull the plants and let them keep flowering else where? do i kill them? what should i do? i have no clue how this could have happened... damn it. i have been working very hard on this shit and really need the money....

will the buds that have no balls continue to grow seedless?

Pull the balls off before they open, a bit labor intensive but it might keep you from a seeded crop and you wont have to kill the plant.

why would it show after 5 weeks and not before?

Just pull the balls you can see and let it grow out you came this far..You will still be able to get some bud to smoke or do as you please with it you dont need to kill it.

Could be genetics..My guess is as good as yours..

Not to thread Jack but seriously if you see any type of growth on your female plant then what else could it be? It's not something from mars where we are all trying to gather information on this new plant species called cannabis. You don't need an expert to tell you if it's a hermie you need eyes and a search engine called google.

so as long as i keep pulling the balls the bud should continue to grow???

Yeah and you should have less seed production..

Could be genetics, or could b from a stress your plants have had, ie light interruption or light leaks.
I once had a few beauties budding nicely and then the light mover started earthing out n causing the light to come on n off several times within one day. This caused pollen sacks the very next day.
Pull the pods. It is labor intensive, but if u stay on top of it, u will stop them from opening n pollenating ur crop.

yup. they were in a closet and i looked in there the other day during the day and i had some light leaks. will they pollinate the rest of the crop? do they act just like males and start getting shit every where?

so i went up there and checked again. i have quite a few plants that have balls. and some of them have opened. so is the whole crop ruined? will all the bud have seeds, or just the new bud growth? what should i do? anyone?

Your plants will have seeds.Alot now that the balls open but i dont think your cola will get seeded..

the seeds i got from holland are high grade. can i grow till harvest and pull the buds and pick out the seeds and still sell it as high grade? will it take me like 2 years to pull all the seeds out of the final product? will it still have high thc content?

any one? i know its late.

Yeah u can grow till harvest then pick out all the seed and sell it for high grade..Its still going to be good smoke that nobody has...
Make sure you get the seeds tho...Dont want nobody asking why they have seeds in high grade...
