My male hermie

[maineharvest]

I always see growers female plants turning hermie so I thought it was kinda cool when my male plant started shooting out pistils. Ive never had this happen before so I thought I would share a few pics.

I sexed the plant under 12/12 and found out it was a full blown male with obvious pollin sacs forming. I snipped it with a pair of dirty old siccors and then tossed it in a little vase with some water. Normally I would throw it away but I wanted to try to root it in water instead of rockwool just as a little experiment, and I also wanted to collect some pollin for future breeding. So a few days go by and this male plant now has about twenty pistils on the top cola. I just thought it was kinda funny. Heres some pics.

Oh yeah, I forgot to say it has been sitting on the back, top, of my stove with no direct sunlight and it has started to flower without any roots.

Throw it away. Quick. That pollen can be bad news.

I want pollen but not if its from a hermie. So yes the heshe is going in the trash.

Good thing, I was getting the pitchfork and the torch ready. Pretty neat though, he/she sure is resilient.

Bring "it" down... Notta good thiing can come of it unfortunately ...But i also had been wonderin' if somethin like this, male to female , has happened before ... Seems like somethin that'd happen when i finally decide to keep my first male, but that's just my luck...thanks for sharing maine
