Possible Males and Early Flowering?

[Duzooka]

Hello, So the plants I'm speaking about I've been growing since Aug, 7th - the Seeds come from a plant I previously grew, It was a female plant that ended up with about 9 seeds throughout the whole plant, being a new grower I decided to try to grow them and if their male I'll just remove them and continue with the rest. Its now about a month in and all the plants are showing their sex i believe with pistils coming from every plant - But there are two I'm a little concerned about which seem to have tiny pistils but also look like they have a few bulbs hanging down - One plant has two bulbs, the other has one. - Not only is that my only concern but the seeds came from a photoperiod plant, But as of now it seems like acouple of the plants are going into flower, The light cycle hasn't changed, Lights cycle has been the same since day one other than a little increase in power.

If plants came from a herm they are all female.

If you see a pistol it is all female.

Herms happen their genetics are in every plant every strain or we would have bred or cloned it out by now.

My thinking is stresses trigger it and to be frank I got it more when I first started rarely see it now.

If you find a herm as a newer grower I'd be more inclined to pinch off the pollen sacs (when you properly identify them) and live with any you miss and the seed. Buds still going to be good seed or not doesn't change much just annoying to pick out. If your the sort of person that wants to kill them be aware most may herm leaving you little to nothing left to grow at worst case situation.

I'd also leave a male pollen sac till it's male anthers separate out and into what we jokingly call bananas. Obviously these contain the pollen and yer you may seed something accidentally but priceless learning for you all round. You can also collect that pollen when and pollinate one of them small bottom branches to carry forward the strain genetics in new seeds for another grow.

I'm pretty open to herms if they happen, fI someone gave me herm seeds I'd grow them probably not get any herms, some probably just want to fire and fury them like no one has ever seen before.

Appreciate the information, As for the early flowering what would you recommend? I was planning to try to grow one canopy all roughly the same height but some of them don't have pre flower sites like some of the ones in the picture, Would you recommend Changing my light cycle to 12/12 on the flowering plants or continue to grow them under 18/6 for some more time. They seem small to be going into flower so I'm not even sure if they'll be worth to grow and if i swap the light cycle i'd have to do it for all of them as currently my flowering tent still has a plant in it at 100% power so putting them in there probably wouldn't be a good idea.

With Hermi seeds some will carry over the herm trait & produce male sacks.

I can’t zoom in enough without it going blurry however ones with balls you should remove or they will pollinate the plants

The more you cross hermis the more herm plants you get so I wouldn’t reuse any seeds you get this time around

Consider this species picked up the trait before it could a) leave the Tibetan plateau and b) before it spread worldwide.

And we have yet to find one plant without these genetics to breed from.

The person who finds a just one female without these genetics gets ten million dollars in sales of that strain.

Me I'd go 12/12, will fill out a little but I suppose it's a hard call all round.

If you keep the flowering ones under 18 six, there is always the possibility of reveg! And you don’t wanna go there! Keep your eye on what you think are pollen sacs! I think I would be inclined to just go 1212 and get it over with! Start over again with some decent genetics! Good luck!

Appreciate the information everybody! It is extremely helpful, I'm going to switch them all to 12/12 and then start another grow as my Flowering tent should be done any day now.

The odd part is that they’re even flowering under 18 six unless they are autos! Or you had them outside and move them in! or you’ve been jerking their light around somehow!

That was another thing I was curious about because I haven't touched them since I transplanted them, They've been in the same tent since Seedling nothing has changed except a fan was added a week or two ago - They've been on a 18/6 Cycle for a month now, The light has only gone up about 30% from where it started at 30% power and raised a few inches as the plants got taller, The original plant that i recieved the seeds from was a Critical Widow Photoperiod which grew perfectly fine.

This grow has confused me more than anything but its all a learning experience.
