Question about hermies

Ok so i bought a fem pack....1 actually turned out to be a male which im pissed about...and i have another one that has hairs coming out of the top...but when i look at lower nodes...its looks like a male....would this be a Hermie?

and if so....do fem seed packs tend to have a hermie or two in them? i kno they come from stressed plants.

and my final question....can a Hermie pollinate my females??

-first pic is the top of the plant

-second 2 pics are the lower nodes.

-last pic is the top node...u can see pistols

-second last pic is the second node down from the top...looksmale

im at about 9 days into flower?

are these pollen sacks? or just pre shoot growth?

i thought hermies hrow sacks and hairs in the same nodes

any help would be appreciated.

thanks

possible its a hermie but watch it for a few days if white hairs dont come out in a v shape then its a hermie and yes its just as bad as a full on male it will rape all your other ladies and inpregnate them

yah, they look like pollen sacks to me... and to answer your other ?, yes, a hermie can surely seed your crop and has done so many a times.. just a quick ? for you if you don't mind my asking.. what strain are they and from what breeder did they come from..
and not all femed seeds come from stress nowadays.. they have a couple of chemical options that they can use to cause a female to produce males flowers.. im sure im gonna mispell them but one of them is collidual sivler, and i can't remember the name of the other one?

What's up Brosnan,

Yes that plant is a hermie, yes it can pollinate itself and your other plants. There are 2 things you can do 1) watch it daily preferably when lights come on and remove the pollen sacks or 2) kill it. Sorry for the bad news. Good luck!

the fem pack was called "skunk Kush" from "green giant seeds"

i guess the most important question at this point is.....how long before it starts pollinating if its a hermie? im at 9 days flower?

haha thanks man...u know what.. thats actually good news cuz i can be sure and remove it before it ruins the whole crop.


does anyone know how long (IN DAYS) males takes during flower to actually produce and release.

Just kill the suspect hermie, it only takes 1 open pollen sack to make your entire crop go to seed on every plant.

watch for clusters if it starts to cluster its a herm and a herm will destroy a whole crop it looks right now like fem.keep an eye on it.good luck bro.
