Im not asking if its a male or female
I know it's a male (didnt i say that in my first post?). Im asking if it's a true hermaphrodite.....I thought I'm in advance part of the forum not in the noobie section. Its an F2 male.

Just found this from Skunkmagazine.com. Types of hermies
The List (Rule of Thumb Style)
- If you see hermies at about the two to three weeks into flowering stage, and they are actually male and female flowers, not mutant male flowers like “banana” type hermies. These are true hermies, as I call them. Genetically hardwired to express (appear), and as long as only a small number of your females do this, they are easy to spot and cull (kill/remove). Your other females are fairly likely to be alright, percentage wise.
- If you see hermies at around the four weeks to six weeks into flowering, that are mutant male flowers, also called “bananas” due to their waxy yellowish look, about the size of rice grains, sticking out of your buds. Ruling out high stress, or light/darkness issues, as the cause, again, if only a small number of females are showing these hermies, these plants are pretty easy to spot and remove before they throw any pollen out.
- If you are flowering, say a 10-week cannabis variety—flowers for 10 weeks/70 days—and you let it go over 70 days, you could see a banana or two pop up, which means it’s time to harvest them. This is actually pretty normal for cannabis hermaphrodites to “activate” as a last hope for the plant to breed; a Hail Mary. Nothing wrong with these plants, these hermies are also fairly often sterile.

Road Rules Spotting Anti-Hermie Cannabis Hermaphrodites
You must be very careful identifying them, here are the important “rules” to properly select one of these awesome male breeders…
- The male must be all male, with zero female pistils showing up, until after 3 weeks into flowering. In that order. The male should actually be throwing pollen for at least a few days before any female pistils show up.
- When the male does show some female pistils, they should be few and far between, not massive pistils all of a sudden. 20% pistils to 80% male flowers is a good benchmark here, and even 30% pistils can often work fine.
Hermaphrodite Free Buds Baybee – That is Our Goal
These males (
Anti-Hermies) I’m talking about are actually fairly rare, so consider yourself lucky if you find one that fits the bill. These show up, in my experience, more often in the f2 and f3 generations, than in f1 generations; so, there’s that little tidbit.
Well I guess thats answer my question
