Hermie confusion

[The Hemp Goddess]

:giggle: This is great. As of right now the poll is saying 4 for male, 4 for female, and 3 for hermie. All of you are just as confused as me. That makes me feel better about having no clue what is going on.

IMO, those that have voted have jumped the gun. It is simply too soon to tell anything definitive.

The poll is just for fun, to get people's opinions. I am not going to do anything drastic based on the poll and while give it time for a definitive answer.

Haha. I have not looked at pic, but am laughing at all the variety of answers. I will look in a bit.

tthat looks like an ordinary, staminate flower, more than a "nanner". errr maybe our perception of 'zactly what a "nanner" is is different
"I" don't call/consider them 'nanners', unless they appear later, "in".. the buds. THAT is when they "look" like a little yellow bannana.. "IMO/E"

:doh: And all this time I thought people were saying "nanners" because bananas look like male genitalia.
(EDIT: The only other time I had hermies they looked like Hick's pic. They started off looking female then showed male well into flower.)

Wow Hick,,those are some Nanners.

So it's 3 days later and I am seeing more definitive (IMO) clusters of male flowers coming in. But then again I am all still seeing preflowers that do not look male at all, they are more flat and elongated than round. And some flowers look like male flowers but seem to be sprouting a white hair

Still confused, but I am 98% sure that I am seeing male flowers on the plant so regardless it is out of the flowering area with the others and in with the other known male I am flowering. I'm going to keep growing it until I know for sure. Today makes it day #10 of flowering for the plant.

These certainly look like male flowers to me. Do these have hairs also or do you believe they are straight (no pun intended) males?

 

[Gixxerman420]

Yea exactly, they appear like the balls are raised on a little stem, I will try to get a better pic, they are tiny.

EDIT: Ok hopefully these pics are clearer. The plant looks healthy and I do not think I have stressed it in any way other than topping it a while back.

If these are on the same plant, this is a hermie for sure bro... Get rid of it now!

Man that's tuff SSF, but that hard work didn't go to waste. Thanks for the postings and letting us see the development.

Thanks niteshift I was just about to update this thread.

So it's been a full week since the confusion over this plant began and I can safely say at this point that I am confident it is a male. I believe the one part that looked like a female hair coming in was just an abnormality of some sorts and not an actual female hair.
The part on the plant I was thinking looked female looked like this a week ago:


That same part on the plant now looks like this a week later (except the pic was taken from the other side) If you zoom in you can still the remnants of what looked like a white hair:


Overall the rest of the plant is producing nothing other than male flowers so at this point I am going to call it a male with one very abnormal male flower. I will still keep an eye on the odd flower but the rest of the plant looks completely male now.



Thank you to everyone that has helped in this thread.

male or hermie either one you need to either kill it (cover it with a trash bag and toss the whole thing, pot and all) or separate it far from the others to harvest pollen from... Not an easy task without pollinating your ladies so not advised unless cross breeding for our own strain.

Thanks Gixxer,
I seperated it with another male in order to farm it's pollen. The other male has already started dropping pollen and I crossed it yesterday with a female Diesel I have that is just finishing it's 3rd week of flower. I'm being as careful as can be with the pollen. If you are interested the details of the cross are the last post in my journal. Thanks for the help and suggestions.

Wow that sucks....that plant wld be trash for me....you are brave using it's pollen. That one female pre flower looking thing wld have scared me off. I hope it was just a fluke and doesn't have any hermie genes.

I'm with HL. I would think it would be best to toss the possible hermie, especially since you have another male that you are getting pollen from. Once you have had an entire crop ruined by being heavily seeded from an unnoticed hermie, it is really easy to destroy hermies.
