Possible hermi pls advise

hello all here I have my first grow of some purple OG #18 . grown in organic soil about 4 foot tall and 2 weeks into flower but it looks like it is trying to go herm on me pls look at the pics and give me your thoughts

you got balls! yeah its hermi. Are the balls at every preflower spot or just at the bottom of plants? Id just pick the balls off and pick any that form afterwards. Alot of times they dont come back. Good luck man!

Thats what i was fraid of . Actualy the balls are mostly showing up in the middle of the plant. So far I have not found any at the top or bottom

Definitely male flowers.

My condolences my friend.

if I continue to pick off the balls do you think the plant will still produce decent smoke . or should I scrap it and concentrate my efforts on its sisters .
ty for the info

Seeds won't kill you unless your selling it seeded bud is still good smoke though and pick everyone you see you may not be too bad on seeds.

OK... Why don't you learn a little with your plant teaching you?
Stop picking off this growth...
Watch it, and what happens next... Why?
So you can come on here and tell the next newbie that wants to pull growth early and new... from his plant...
You will be able to tell him... What next?

There is no need to pick off this growth at this time...
why don't you watch and learn?

If it is a Hermie... and those are Balls.... then at this time, what is the worst that can happen...
Nothing will happen...
Balls will grow, then one day one will explode with pollen...
You are some growth away from that happening...
What is the hurry?
You might learn a thing or two, about what happens next....
Good Luck man...
With the first signs, like you have... there is never a hurry.... slow down and watch and learn...

ok Last question I had cut me a couple of clones just prior to 12-12. do you think they are destined for hermi or could they turn out normal provided the proper environment is maintained.

and thank you in advance for the info

some seed runs hermi and never hermi as clones you will just have to run them again and see what happens.

Agree with everyone else... he-bitch for sure. Clone and run again...

I also had an old grower tell me if you save some of that pollen, then grow out the clones, you can polinate one lower tiny little bud on the plant and it will stop the rest of it from herming, I havent tried this but I tend to believe the person who told me, hes never steered me wrong before... so maybe try to harness some of that and save it so you can fix your clones? I dont know... Does anyone have any knowledge of this working?

Ive never heard of this before. Could you post the thread where this is discussed? interesting concept but im not sold on it based on how many seed runs have had a ball pop up but clone run no balls ever, so only way to test is have a plant that always hermis consistently and try it on...I dont have a hermi plant to test, fortunatly!

Okay I have heard of this problem but never personally ran into it. Is this from the seed genetics or stress? Maybe both. I am new on here and I guess I could just try the search tool. Just trying to pack my brain with knowledge. Thanks guys

This could also have happened from a small light leak. Something as small as an LED light on a fan or power strip could cause the heri condition.

so untrue

explain street lights and the moon ?

Very true man. I think you need to understand your light colors and temperatures. Try searching about the moon and understanding red lights, blue lights etc. sorry but lets research a little before making statements like this..if you are willing to learn..i also recommend not growing around street lights. that is all

must not be reading my post I'm Riddleme reincarnated, I've done more research on this plant than you can imagine, not to mention I have an open garden where my open veg room behind my flower room shines properly PAR'd light all over and I have only had 2 hermies in 5 years (one I did on purpose) There is no such thing as light leaks cause hermies, I'll stand over here and let others argue about it

why would you reference the moon then if you understand red/blue lights...but anyway my knowledge in know way compares to your unimaginable amount of research...good day

yeah that ol moon light is blue, no way we would use that in our veg rooms to reduce stretch or build roots, and no way all those HPS street lights would make enough light to be compared to an LED on an electronic device

I've actually done the 24 hour all blue light in flower experiment and guess what it didn't cause hermies
