Are they hermies?

jeneric214 · 07-18-2011, 03:07 PM

Just wondering if my plant has gone hermie on me. I'm just completed week six of flowering. Last night I decided to clip a little bit off of my plant to start drying and give a little sample test and I found a single tiny little seed. At this point I started inspecting my plantss and found that several of them have these weird things on them now that I didn't notice before. When I looked it up, I read that it's possible that they could have been hermie's, but I can't imagine how this is possible. I have them on timers and locked up, so no one is interfering with light or anything like that. My question is, are these signs of hermie's, or are they just another stage in the flowering process of my female plants. Attached are a couple of pictures that I took.

They don't come in bunches and they don't look like bananas like I have seen in some pictures on the internet. They're pointed up, not down and they have two hairs of a yellowish color right out of the middle.

In this picture I'm noticing that one of the little bud-y things is split open.

Ultimately- if these do turn out to be hermies, are they still smoke-able? It is literally on about four out of five of my plants.

Any help would be greatly appreciated... this is all new to me. I've never dealt with anything like this before.

That's a seed. The pollen must have come from somewhere... Maybe one of your plants has hermied.

Hermies are smokeable, but the seeds that form take away from the potency.

For some reason it is only showing one picture. Here's the link to the other picture.

Thanks for the replies. I can't imagine how this happened. Every plant in there right now was female and now most of them are presumably the hermies. So at this point, should I be taking any plant out of the room that looks like this?

be more concerned of the brown leaf tips

and yes your going to have a seed in that there pod

I don't see any male bananas though. Maybe its a matter of accidental pollination instead of being a hermie?

That's a seed, it is not a source of pollen but the result of pollen coming into contact with the female flower.
You may want to pick off the seed but this plant is not necessarily a hermaphrodite.

Inspect the plants carefully for signs of hermaphrodism, you are looking for pollen sacks or small banana like growths. Just one pollen sack could release enough pollen to create many seeds.
That seed looks a fair way to maturity- which means it is probably at least 3 weeks old.

There is no way the plants could have come into contact with pollen from a male plant? Were there any males?

Were you in or around another persons garden, about 2-3 weeks ago & than back in your own garden with out washing or changing clothes?

All it takes is a single pollen that could have been left on your hands, hair, clothing to germinate your lady.

could you up a pic of the entire plant/plants, as I'm curious about the lack of broadleaf/amount of stretch between flowers.
