Hermaphrodites?

[Gardinhackle]

Please tell me these aren't hermaphrodite plants I have. And if so what do I do?

 

[Modest Grower]

Keep an eye on them and others can correct me if I am wrong but those do not look to be manners. I think they are just larg calyx (sorry if thats the wrong term) ill look it up. You should be good in my opinion

Edit: I think that is the right term. Some plants have some big ones like that on their own in my experience

 

[Modest Grower]

You can tell because this one has pistils coming from it

 

[Modest Grower]

And one rule of thumb to tell a larg calyx from a male flower is the calyx is pointy and has pistils the male is more round and has a little stalk that brings it off of the main branch. There are some good pics online comparing the two

 

[bluter]

yeah i see hair. they also look real close in to the plant. i'd say it's calyxes as well, but keep a watch for the next bit.

 

[Gardinhackle]

Thanks for the replies....what do I do if they are hermies?

 

[Modest Grower]

Very likely they are not but if they are you can pluck them off before they open if there aren't any other non effected plants involved or scrap them if you have others you wish to save.

 

[Gardinhackle]

Ok, well I'm ok to pluck them all off even now if I have to. I take it that won't hurt the plant?

Also, I'm supposed to be away all next week should i do this before I leave or does it take much longer for them to develop in the event they are?

....and thanks for taking to time to answer me, I don't mind saying I'm stressed LOL. This is my first grow and I have done lots of HST on these plants and they look so good it would be a shamed if something happened.

You could rip them off but I'm sure it would cause some amount of stress not sure how much. I would watch them until like the day before you leave and make your call. I am like 99% sure the ones pictured are not though.

No worries about asking, that's what this place is all about. Your plants looks super nice. I totally get the stress, a lot goes into these ladies and we always want to put our best effort in. The main reason I feel confident is the pointed ends on yours, the hairs or pistils coming out, and they are attached right on the plant. If it hermied, those would be round on the end and have a little stem pushing them away from the plant. Yours to me look exactly like the ones on the left.

If you have a magnifying jeweler's loop take a closer look at yours. The pistils or hairs is really a dead giveaway that they are not male. Personally, I wouldn't rip them off just to be safe but if you do, your plant will still be ok, not sure how much stress it would be if any maybe like a light defol I suppose

 

[Gardinhackle]

Once again, thank you guys (especially @Modest Grower) for your quick and thorough response. I looked at the Calyx under a 25X loop and each one has a couple of hairs coming out of it. Further to that there are no "nanners" within the buds.

Sets my mind at ease.
Hackle!

I am having the same question is this possibly pollonated?

 

[Modest Grower]

Hey @Dkcamaro. Something definitely looks off on top there. Can you get a better picture by chance, its hard to see in those.

Same as the posters question about the 5th week of flower and just noticed these today

will get better pics tomorrow

 

[Gardinhackle]

I'll be interested in seeing whats said about yours too @Dkcamaro . The fact that you have what appears as two or maybe three together is weird but I see some hairs coming from the one on the left on the top photo.

will get better pics tomorrow

Hi Dk - the best way to get a good close-up is to let the camera focus but then move back and forth slightly until the bit you want in detail comes into sharp focus, in this case you were a little too close and focused behind the subject
If you can use a flash, even in daylight it will set the shutter speed to 1/125 -1/250 and give you a sharp picture with the correct part precisely in focus and well lit

Here's one of your photos, Dkcamaro. All I did was darken it a little and increase the contrast. Makes it a little easier to see.
