Plants turning hermie on me???

Im on the end of week 5 flowering, DWC grow with 400watt HPS. Theres only about 3 more weeks left for flowering, All I see is white pistils, no buds are swelling up, just white pistils. I figured with only 3 weeks left there should be some buds by now, are my babies turning hermie on me?

dont go by the suggested flowering time, go by what the plant tells you. No matter what the strains flowering time is it will always be determined in the end by your environmental conditions. That plant looks sativa dominant. White pistils tell you that it is nowhere near mature. Sativa dominant strains take 11-16 weeks to flower on average and that plant looks like it has much longer than 3 weeks left. Im guessing 5-6 more weeks and she will be done.

a hermaphrodite has male pods that open up into yellowish banana shaped pods that release pollen. If you dont see these then your plant is not hermie. Its' just growing slowly. Be patient, she will start to swell im sure within the next couple weeks. Good luck!

^^^ he is right. You've got to be on the plants time, not yours.

was just going to say that it looks like sativa and from me having an indica beside a sativa you can tell the difference. Indicas seem to fill out from the start and sativas wait till towards the end to fill out.

Whew! Ok, good news, also the strain is Tangerine Dream by Barneys Farm. I'll continue to post pics as harvest approaches! Below is a full pic of her, she's a beauty, this is my second grow, but anyways thanks for the info fellas!

Those are the buds. You have a long time left is all.

I agree with jpockets420 don't expect to harvest them in 3 weeks, I'm growing a mostly sativa right now ( Jack Herer ) and clones from the mother i selected are finishing only after 102 days ( 14 1/2 ) weeks. At 5 week flowering they are not even budded as yours are
