Thanks man, appreciate the prompt response.

I was on the verge of tossing her, glad I decided to get a second opinion.
Seconding the second opinion - pistils means female.

Considering you foxtailed your last plant weird stuff will happen just go off the pistils.

All plants can herm its more grower skill and experience that stop it - i could take the worst herm plants seeds and never get a herm once.

Hope that helps and dont kill plants unless your sure as many kill fems thinking they are male far too often :-)

I think I may have caused some confusion and if so I apologize.

I am not the OP and I invaded this thread rather than starting a new one since people were talking about hermies.

I posted some pictures and asked if anyone was willing to give their thoughts. It appears some folks may have got me mixed up with the OP.

Hermies, I see balls in all the photos. Make sure you don't have light leaks.
Yes they looked like balls to me as well but this is my first crop so all is new to me which is why I asked for input.

I currently have the suspect plant separated for extra measure.

Light leaks should not be an issue since it is in a tent which is in a dedicated room that I use strictly for cultivation. I will look everything over but I took extra measures before starting to make sure I would not have issues with light leaks.

Calyxs are similar shaped, there are a few pros who can sex out or guide you through the stuff you are not sure about:-)
Now I’m even more confused hahah

I think we're both good. And I'm glad you posted on this thread, otherwise I might have missed you're post.

This is what a hermaphrodite looks like.

All Cannabis has the ability to self pollinate (rodelization) from age or stress. You can also reverse a plant's sex with chemicals. Anyway I'd watch your plant extremely closely and keep it separate but it looks like you have a herm to me. In a few days more development you will know. You can also break a ball open to see if it's developing small, yellow flowers inside.

Good luck

Thanks for the input and suggestions.

So long as she doesn’t go completely nuts on me I will likely continue to flower her. I have extra lights and the space to keep her isolated so I’ll treat it as a learning experience rather than a complete loss.

I’ll post an update in a couple weeks to let you guys know how my venture with the confused plant is going.

Yer sorry i am confusing a lot. Grow her out if you can dude, even if it does herm a little thats pretty normal to an extent and i seen loads of weird growth around pre flower and flower time id really wait till said balls grow stems and split into nanas then drop pollem because of what ive said on weird ball shaped stuff.

Hope that helps :-)

Do i disagree those balls dont look like they will seperate into lots of anthers. Am i wrong in thinking pollen sacs have more clear lines down the sides?

Funny-looking isn't it? It kind of has me puzzled too because of the shape of the top. Let me show you the top of that plant and the top of another right next to it. Same strain allegedly. The one in the first photo I am just uploading is the same as the one in the photo I posted before.
In case anyone is interested I harvested that strain and it's not worth smoking as far as I can tell.
