Hey all! First grow. I’m learning a lot. However, just when I think I KNOW FOR SURE what I’m looking at, MJ still baffles me.
All my plants are from bag seed (so I expected males and/or females with hermaphroditic traits) germinated around 12/10/20. None of them showed what I felt to be true gender determining preflowers after 7 weeks of veg in DWC under Spider Farmer SF2000 and SF1000. They are on day 16 of 12/12. Other than my learning curve with hydro nutrients and LED lights, the only “stress” the plants received was topping and LST early in veg and one night the heater malfunctioned causing the tent to get up to 89-90 F for the 12 hour dark cycle. Otherwise the environment has always been 65-75 F and 45-60% humidity.
All of the plants now show definite female bracts with pistils. All EXCEPT Ms. Pearl here. She started growing what I thought for sure were MALE preflowers. I decided to give her a few days to be certain. But instead of her preflowers looking more like a male, pistils keep coming out of them. I see a grape like growth patterns, the male “crab claw”, crossed and not-crossed stipules, growing at the node and between the nodes,
BUT...
After a day or so from appearing, 2 little pistils keep coming out of these things. Is it naive to wait and be sure? If it is a hermie (almost seems like reverse hermie based on my reading), would it hurt to give it more time? Or am I playing Russian Roulette by not culling asap? Thank you in advance. Peace!
