Possible hermie in the tent?

[Drgeeenthumbs408]

I am approaching my 3rd week of flower , today I went into the garden for some general inspection and noticed one of my plants in the garden was showing signs of its sex, the problem is while it’s definitely a female it’s showing signs of male pre flowers too? What do you guys think?

I think like you think, and you have a hermaphrodite. Get he/she out of there before he/she starts dropping pollen! Unless you want a boat load of seeds...

What strain? You got light leaks? Has that plant been under any stress?

+1 Spray it with water to stop and kill any potential pollen that's already dropped or may drop while you're moving it

Yeah ...kill it lol..i killed 3 last night.good you spotted it now before it does damage..

turn off the fans until you get it under control. pick off male balls as you see them. sometimes they only throw flowers early in budding. but other times they will throw them all thru budding.

Wouldn't picking them off cause the sacs to pop, spreading the pollen?

Definitely minimal stress and as far as light leakes go i think I’m pretty safe of that... although no of the other plants flipped I think it’s due to weak genetics.. grew here from a feminized platinum gorilla glue seed

I had same issue ending week 5 flower. but i didnt catch it as fast as you and pollen sacs were open and dropping pollen. only on lower branches. i picked them off and havent seen any more, no nanners. and no seeds as of yet. my other 2 plants look fine and no signs of hermie or seeds so i am praying they will be ok, with very minimal seeds if any. im finishing it off as so close to harvest. but if i found it when you have and sacs werent open, id definitely remove it from the tent, easier to kill it when its not already packing on huge buds :(

I had some nitrogen issues and i topped and lst'd the hermie which i think may have been a possible reason in the hermie. yours however looks extremely healthy so what a bummer. hope you get a good result man

no just pinch them and put in cup of water. don't touch anything else with your picking fingers. a lot of times they only throw a couple flowers and that's it. people get all scared and chop the plant when in honesty all they had to do was be patient and let it do it's course. ya other times there's hermies that have whole male branches. I chop those quickly.

You know your horny when you pollinate yourself...

forreal though ....also just found out these fem seeds were a cross between the infamous GG4 and platinum...herm is in the genetics

This is the route I’ve decided to go, I’d hate to destroy this plant over a few possible pollen sacs , I’ve decided to be patient and keep it under control untill I’ve made my final decision to chop it or not

Lol that thing ain’t gonna drop pollen if he just takes it out.

I have no other place for it or I would, trying to see if a friend wants to take it in and flower it alone

You do have a place for it, the compost pile.
