Hermie confusion

[SensiStarFan]

Hi all. So I have this one Hashberry plant that has been flowering for a week. About 3 days ago I noticed what I thought were balls so I seperated it with a LA Ultra male and I am going to collect pollen from them.

When I went to water it today I noticed what I thought was a white hair. I am confused because I was convinced this plant was showing balls. What do you guys think, am I looking at a hermie? Am I looking at a female and I was just ignorant to the fact these weren't balls? The first two pics show what I thought were balls coming out, then the third shows a white hair coming out of one of them.
Thanks in advance for your help everyone.

i can't really tell, the top two pics are a little blury, do the ball look to have a stem between the ball and node? i'd give it a few more days to be sure. you'll know before it drops pollen if you look everyday

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.

That looks like a white hair for sure in the last pic of both sets....

This is what I found online

And this is female....

It cld just be a weird looking Pistillate Primordia....My males usually get a group of balls and not just one.

Thanks for digging up the info Hammy. The other male plant I am farming pollen from is further along and showing the collection of male flowers. Here it is.


But like slowmo said the little male looking flowers are actually little balls on a stem and I have never seen female flowers begin that way. I really hope it isn't a hermie, that makes it TOTALLY worthless. If it was male at least I was going to be able to take some pollen for crossing.

lets hope it is not a hermie...

I dont think its hermie..Just as Hampster said..Pistillate Primordia..Watch her close for next week..and keep us posted

take care and be safe:bolt::bong:

That would be great if it is a female. I germed 5 seeds of this strain and all 5 cracked but this is the only one that survived so it is all I have (I do have a few more seeds). I will definitely keep you guys posted. I am glad that I decided to keep it for pollen when I thought it looked male (if it is indeed female).

Looks like a female to me. I dont see any balls.

This doesn't look male to you? If you click on it and zoom in?

I agree with Hamster. I also think you should keep it in flower, keep an eye on it. Balls are usually in groups, not one here and one there.

Even if it is a hermie you can still get smoke off it. No reason you can't let it finish with your male, even if it puts out pollen it won't hurt the male. When you harvest it just destroy all the seeds it makes, but no sense in wasting good smoke by destroying it if you have a place for it to finish.

Good luck, I hope it turns out to be a true lady.

Ok I put her/him/it back into the main flowering area with the other plants, made some room in a corner. I'm keeping my fingers crossed she/he/it turns out to be a true female.

Looks like a female just starting to show herself to me.

Looks fem to me, also. It has a taper and a point to it and males tend to be more uniform with a rounded blunt end.

 

[SensiStarFan]

Thanks everyone that dropped by to help so far. I will keep her/him/it in the flower room for now and come back with some new pics in a few days.

Well, I am going to be the dissenting vote here. I think that it definitely looks like it could be a male flower. I would keep a good eye on this plant. What was the source of your seeds?

I agree THG. I think it looks like a male flower too.It kinda hangs too.

Thanks THG, now I know I am not going crazy thinking I am looking at a male!
