Here is a Nirvana Northern Light bud. This is real close. The little bud leaves are turning brown.

Here is a closeup of a Nirvana Blackjack bud that I was bitching about not having enough frost. It started to frost up pretty good. All the white hairs are a secondary burst of flowering. This is getting closer.

I wouldn't chop anything with "male pre-flowers" until I flower it to check for sure. Sometimes your first opinion is wrong. Different strains will have different looks. It isn't like the male pollen is instantly going to open and wreck your crop. If you are looking, you can easily catch it...

Cutting them when it is dark probably has very little effect on the quality of the plant. There are so many other factors that are way more important, that in my opinion this is old-wifes-tail advice. The good advice is to harvest just about when you were going to water them. This will shorten...

It is G13 Blueberry Gum. Here is a picture I took right before chopping the balls off. I am going to give it a couple of more weeks.

My dad-gummed Blueberry Gum went hermie on me 9 days into the light change. For now I just clipped all the balls and ordered some Dutch Master Reverse. I'll give it a few weeks and see how it goes. The plant is sure a beautiful healthy little plant besides the hermie crap. I think it is going...

I just cut all the balls off with a razor blade and magnifying glasses. There were a few to say the least. I'm debating whether to invest $25 in Dutch Master Reverse. The only thing that might make me keep this is it should be easy to carry out of the grow room and work on. It isn't going to be...

I'm going to chop all the balls off this weekend and give it another week. Maybe I'll try the Reverse It stuff. If the balls come back strong, it has to be eliminated. I don't mind a little hermie problem late in flowering, or finding a stray seed or two in your stash, but hermie this early...

My Blueberry Gum didn't go through any stress or anything. In fact is is a beautifully healthy plant that started flowering barely a week after the light switch. Unfortunately, it isn't by itself, so it will probably get chopped, but I might try cutting the first set of balls and seeing what...

My Blueberry Gum is trying to go hermie on me. I'm not going to chop it down just yet.

If it is winter, any kind of electric heater will use mass watts. Even on low my oil filled electric radiator uses 600 watts. I don't think a 400 watt or 600 watt HPS on 12 hours per day is going to alert anyone to excessive power usage. If they ask, just say she does a lot of cooking, which is...

After it is cut and starts drying, the hairs that are still white turn brown. When you get mold, it is pretty easy to spot. It will look "rotten." Last time I had mold, I pulled apart the bud and it looked just like an apple going bad from the core. Your picture is a little blurry, but it looks...

Here is another picture. You can plainly see the balls on one side of the stem, and the bud on the other side with white hairs. This is extreme closeup, so cutting these off might be difficult right now.

I'm going to give it another week for sure, just keeping a close eye on it. Fortunately it is relatively compact and I will be able to take out of the grow room and really eyeball it good with some magnifying glasses. When I chopped that hermie NL a few months ago, a friend of mine was pissed he...

The white hairs are on other parts of the plant. They are definitely there. A few months ago I had a Northern Light go hermie on me. Just like this one, I thought it was for sure a male. Suddenly white hairs came out of the balls I thought were male. Then about three weeks later it had big balls...

Here is an extreme closeup of a couple of the male balls. If I decide to try chopping these off, do I wait until they are little bigger and easier to chop? If I chop, do they come back in the same place? Is it possible this might go away after chopping the first few times? The closeup is pretty...

Water from both top and bottom, maybe alternating one method with the other.

BTW, people wondering why I put this in the strain thread and not the plant problem thread, I decided I wanted people to know it was Blueberry Gum. At the same time, I didn't want to totally trash this strain by putting "blueberry gum" in the title.

Unfortunately, it has other girls in the room. It can't be isolated. I think I am going to chop, but I might wait a day or two. Why do the best looking plants in the early stages end up being male or hermie! I guess I'll have to wait to try a blueberry variation. I was pretty excited about...

OK so I got an obvious hermie in my Blueberry Gum freebie seed that I got from attitude. The balls are obvious and so are the white hairs. I'm tempted to cut it down right now, but I'm curious what people think. Is it worth trying to beat off the hermie trait by repeatedly clipping the balls and...
