Problem with Nirvana Genetics - ICE

I have been using Nirvana genetics for a while now. I have always been impressed with them, especially because they are so cheap. This is the first issue I have seen with bad genetics.

The plant is Ice. I have 2 other girls flowering right now at the same stage as this one. It showed it's female preflowers first around 3 1/2 weeks, but I was surprised to see pistols because the calyxes were raised off the stem, like a pollen pod usually starts. After a week of flowering it started developing pollen pods in the SAME calyx with the pistols.

It has both giblets coming out of the same calyx (left). It also has a male pod coming out of what looks like a female calyx (right). That's the first time I have ever seen it. Since 12/12 it has developed more pods and will have to be destroyed.

-1 for Nirvana. I'm still a supporter though. This is the first hermie I've received from their seeds.

I'm smoking on some Ice right now from a recent harvest. It is very stoney and very powerful. I feel almost hallucinogenic when smoking a bong. Not for the wake and bake, unless you want to feel zapped all day.

Hate to hear about your bad luck. I have two Ice seedlings going right now from Nirvana, haven't had the luxury to grow or taste it before. Was yours grown from a fem seed? You probably know they have a slightly higher inclination to be hermie.

It was grown from standard seeds, not feminized.

It's just an ironic situation. The last Ice plant I grew had so many catastrophic issues with PH and lighting. I thought it was burned to death during flower and it NEVER hermied. This current one had everything perfect and it turned on me.
