Is it possible for you to get your camera lens so it's looking directly down the center of the plant, and then a side shot of the same plant? That two photo combo would really help me to answer your question. I'm not good enough yet to answer you based on the other pic. Lol. Funny but true. If you can.
Oka I'll try to take a picture
I see pollinated pistils! Do you have some pollen floating around the neighborhood?Ok @Bill284, and also @StoneOtter since you just went through this too, here's a hermie watch photo series for us.
I took two node shots off each plant. Here's what I see:
1. Blueberry - too early to tell, but no worries yet
2. Strawberry Lemonade - this is what I want to see, likely not a hermie, at least yet, lol
3. Dos Si Dos Fast Flowering - I see mixed messages here and this one has me worried. The first pic is a top-ish node and looks like what I want. The second pic is a lower node. See those two little things to the right and left of the stamens or whatever those hairs are called? These worry me and are being watched closely. They either pop hairs like above or they turn to balls. Starting to wonder about these FF photos. Seems a trend may be developing here.
My eye is far less experienced than yours. What do you guys see?

I had hermaphrodites but none of them released the pollen and I immediately eliminated them and the other four would be fine and had no symptoms. Where do you go there?
I'm sorry it was up to me
Which ones? The Dos Si Dos? That's the one I thought was maybe.
I dunno Kanno, I don't think I would take any leaves from this personally. Your lower buds are pretty lit up so they're getting light, and I don't see any leaves that are covering bud sites in any significant way. If it were me I would leave this be and not worry too much about defol right now. I might instead work on getting them a bit greener, although the lightish green thing may be a function of the light/picture?
Ok I like to get advice, greens are nice in my opinion it makes a camera and light together. I'll let it be and see thanks for the feedback.
the pistils that are already dark like at the end... mostly noticed them on the popcorn buds at the notches. Its not a biggie.. you will get a few seeds, but the buds that never saw the pollen should be ok
So you're telling me clear/white pistils all the way is female and when they shoot darker hairs from the get go like this they are pollinated? And if that's the case why shouldn't I completely pull the plant?
they are female. females get pollinated. This doesnt make them a hermi or signal any need to pull the plant. Only the sites that exist now, and that got a bit of the pollen will produce seeds. Any of your bud sites that still show perfect white pistils are fine. If you feel there is a danger of more pollen hanging around that might pollinate the plant further, spray it down with water. Just because you get seeds in one place on the plant doesn't mean you can't be growing perfectly good sensimilla in another place on the plant. Stay calm.
Oh I see. You are referring to the Strawberry Banana that actually had a penis. You are surmising that the SB may have touched a few buds with pollen and affected only them, and as soon as I removed the plant that stopped any further damage. So when I harvest this, assuming it works out, if I happen to bite into a bud with seeds the first one, I should not panic and immediately get depressed cuz the rest of the plant will likely be fine.
exactly... one plant throwing out pollen, especially with fans working the air, can pollinate an entire room. I have had pollen in one end of the house go through the furnace system and end up pollinating a few buds in my grow room at the other end of the house. Pollen is insidious.
Well perhaps that explains why I've been getting a higher instance rate of this on the Fast Flowering photos. They are F1s. Does that make sense?
it makes perfect sense. F1 automatically means destabilized.
Funny how they don't explain this little reality to you on the sites you buy them from.
caveat emptor my friend, not just in buying seeds.
