Hermi is it not?

Since the plant is in flower, must have gone hermaphrodite huh?

Yes, I think so. Lights accidentally were off for at least an hour. Damn!

With only the one zoomed in pic I had to guess. Thought I saw pistils bottom left and the one in the middle.

If you see any “balls” pluck them off. If you don’t have any other plants let it grow. You’ll get flowers, just not as much.

I am interested. That's a great a idea. Do I change anything compared to reg. grow with a female?

Movie was nice but pics help better for exam and feedback IMO.

Couldn’t see anything other than a nice canopy and that they are in flower.

Looks like you have two plants? If the other is fine you might want to separate them. Or take a chance and pluck anything male on the one and leave it.

Then figure out what caused it next.

Yes, I will be pulling it momentarily. Probably going to have a friend finish it out. : (

I’ve had one male my second indoor grow. I put it in a closet with its own light until it opened then I saved the flowers and pollen.

Haven’t done anything with it just thought since I went this far might as well.

In your case either pluck the balls and have your buddy finish it or have him put it to seed.

Not bad either way. I assume these aren’t autos.

So you say to simply pluck the "balls" off if I want to finish the flower cycle with best possible yield?

BTW, I'm aware defoliating needs to be done. Is on my list for the day : )

There are folks here with alot more expertise in hermie pollinating, hopefully they will chime in!!! but what I do know is if you let those balls mature and open to pollenate, any seeds you have will be femmed seeds. You can collect the balls, just before they open and let them open in a plastic baggie to control the pollen release or just let it go. If you only have that single cluster of male balls (not likely), I'd guess you won't get more than a dozen seed. Worst case I ever had with herrmies I didn't discover until harvest was to get MAYBE 100 seeds. Natural herrmies, in my experiances, never shed alot of pollen, so it's not like you'll have 50% seed weight in your buds, no way! and in general, they will only pollenate female pistil in the immeadiate area. YRMV!!!(your results may vary)

Haven’t had to try it but yes. You’re not the first here to have it happen. If you can see only a few sites that have them pluck them off.

Sometimes a few get missed and pollinate the flowers around it but then you get a few seeds too. I’m a noob too so I can only tell you what I’ve read/seen.

If it happened to me that’s what I’d do. If I didn’t care about the harvest I’d try to get seeds.

I was nice. Didn’t say a word. 😝

Thx Zen....I appreciate your input.
