Pics are way too bright for my monitor. Is there any way you can take pics without the grow lights on?

I see a male pollin sack in picture 1 and I see a female calyx in the second picture. So if they are the same plant it is a hermi.

If it's the same plant in both pics, it's most likely a hermie. But you might get lucky, that ball in pic 1 could just be a weird calyx and sprout hairs... But not likely. Sorry bro.

yes hermi... you can t ry to either cut all the balls off and risk having a seedy plant if you dont get em, or you can cut her down. if its all you have for a plant then grow it anyways and take the seeds. they will be feminized. thats if you need seeds anyways.

Click to expand...

so if you grow one hermie and no other plants, it will only produce feminized seeds??

I'm thinking it's an IT. It was bag seed and I heard they are notorious for going hermi. I'll give it another day or two just to make sure.

If a plant pollinates itself, almost all of the seeds produced will grow into females, but will have a higher chance of becoming hermaphrodite themselves if subjected to stress.
It's one of the methods used to produce feminised seeds, another involves spraying the plant with hormones, but that's really as much as I know about it. I'm no breeder, I just picked that nugget of knowledge up along my way.

I have a theory on commercial, or mid grade pot. I think it starts out as a real good quality plant. They must breed hermes too, and then use them to polinate the plants to make them heavier with useless seeds. It would also could turn one loose seed into a field of pot in a few seasons. But its just a theory. I think that the bricking process is what makes it look like crap. But all the resulting seeds are hermes, or will easily turn herme. If you can't buy seeds in your state yet, i would just wait until you can secure some medical strains. Pet plants are fun, but i think most mid seed is bunk,
