Help! Is this a herm plant?

Eclipted · Jul 2, 2023

Hey guys new grower here, I’ve got my plants all in flower and I’ve just now started to notice these things pop up that look like pollen sacs. I’m on day 23 of flower is it normal for them to pop up this late? I’m gonna tag some pics below I’m having a hard time getting a good one to show what I mean. The 3rd pic shows one that looks like a Pollen sack but has a pistil coming out of it? If it is a herm any recommendations on what to do with it? It’s my biggest plant and i don’t mind it having some seeds I’d rather keep it than toss it just cause it’s my first time ever. I don’t want it pollinating my other plants tho. Hoping someone’s gonna tell me there’s a way to save them

Here’s another example they seem to be on all my lower bud sights not so much on my top

Unfortunately, it looks that way too me.

Might be swollen calyx

I’d wait for more experienced opinions

I’m about to post more pics hopefully that helps. I will go through and hand pick these balls out and deal with a few seeds in the bud idc lol. I’m hoping it’s swollen calyx tho

If you have space and a spare light you could move the intersex plant far away from your others. It’ll probably pollinate itself. No biggie. You can harvest it a bit earlier than planned and the seeds will not have developed enough to be a nuisance. Or let it go to the bitter end and you’ll have some mature feminized seeds (that unfortunately will have a tendency to herm).

just my inexperienced opinion.

I’m currently smoking some hermed out white widow, if that makes any sense. Lol.

They have pistols on most of them?

They are on day 23 of flower I’ve been giving them Humboldts flower stacker and sweet and sticky since. One dose of flower stacker on day 21 and sweet and sticky has had 2 doses day 18 day 21. Also supplementing cal mag. Average humidity is 48%. Temp during daytime may reach 80 but normally is 78 and the low is 72.

These seeds came from what I assume was a herm plant. I set that bud aside specifically because it was really top tier in my opinion and I found probably 3 seeds out of the whole ounce. Also remember when I got the bud it was too fresh to smoke I had to let it cure for a few days. But it had seeds in it for sure and it was unbelievably good.

Praying it’s just swollen calyx

yeah I’m assuming this plant was a herm I used the seeds I found in a baggie so the bud from the mother plant had seeds in it.

This might be the pic that confirms hermie.

Eclipted · Jul 2, 2023

I still want to let this plant flower but am completely exhausted on funds. I could buy one more grow light and possibly set this plant in my spare bathroom shower? I could keep it light controlled, there’s the exhaust fan to suck air out and I have fans to circulate air inside the shower. It’s ugly but do you guys think it’d work? I have thermometers and hygrometers to set in there as well. I just really don’t have the space for another 2/3/5 grow tent anywhere or the money. First grow ever and it’s my biggest plant and my favorite strain I’ll deal with some seeds. I’ll handpick all the male parts off that I can and let her bud up

Mikedin · Jul 3, 2023

Looking like herm to me, some are swollen Cylaxes but some of the others look like sacs,

Let some more chime in. it Seems like you plan to flower her out anyways, I’d rip off any balls you see that don’t have a hair coming out of the top

Some reference material while you wait on more opinions

Most of the times the hermie parts show up on the lowers and within the first 3 weeks. Just hand remove all the ones you see ASAP and keep an eye, IMO it’s a herm but may not be a full blown herm if tended to

Reference my scare and people tending and helping me out. I cleared out all the male parts, kept all 4 in the tent and didn’t have one seed in my whole harvest

Just checked it out this is awesome info, do you think I should just fully remove some of the lowers even tho I’m on day 23? Or just solely pick pollen sacks off? My canopy buds don’t have any sacks that I can see just fat calyx. My lowers are the most affected I could chop the ones I see clusters on and hand pick the ones that have a sack here and there

HerbalEdu · Jul 3, 2023

i deal with a few lite hermi phenotypes almost each batch of seeds.

As long as your plant produce more actively calyx and pistil than males preflowers Just keep a watchfull eye and remove the males preflowers preferably before they are mature enough and drop some pollen and you'll be fine without the need to move the hermie in an other tent, unlike female flowers males flowers will fall easily if you touch them.

F.Dupp · Jul 3, 2023

It's a herm. If you are gonna keep it, cut all of the lower bud sites off. Then keep an eye on the top stuff too.

yeah day 23 is fine enough to full remove any lowers if you’d like. I removed a few myself, but mainly just removed the male parts which lasted maybe a day or two and it was done.
