Hermie?

[witchyhour]

I just found these sacs on the top part that broke from the plant. Did it become male or hermaphrodite?

If so, what do I do with it? I have a fem Royal Caramel seedling in the same system...

Thanks for the help!

Looks like a straight up girl to me, they are just single swollen calyxes, the buds/flowers are made up of multiple amounts of these calyxes, have attached a couple of pics of hermie flowers so you know what they look like for future reference.

Thanks! Now, just to make sure the picture was clear, I'm talking about the sacs circled. That is not a male polen sac, right?

Thanks again for taking the time to help.

Yep thats the ones i thought you meant, you can see the pistils (hairs) coming out of them that have browned off and died back into the calyx causing it to swell, this is the same as what happens to your buds as they mature up ready for harvest, those single calyxes are usually the ones that show first at the start of flowering stage and therefore mature quicker.

Phew! Thank you so very much!

Nice Spanglish..yes those are not male flowers. I am one of the few that is not afraid of hermaphroditic qualities especially male flowers in mid-late stage flower. Every day i'd go around an carefully remove any I find. Last year, outdoor I had a huge blueberry hermy in mid stage flower. I went around every day or two and pulled as many male flowers as I could find. Though I know I missed some for sure. the amount of seed was very minimal.(like less than 100 in 5+lbs of bud)
I could have cut him/her down and got a limited harvest...or wait and pull tons with very few seed. Done deal.

And a further note...hermaphroditic qualities aren't always a bad thing anyways. Depends on the reason for the hermy. Stress induced hermies can be putting out all female pollen and be cursed for it, with the grower not even knowing!

witch'-- those are the preflower calyxes, found at the base of stems,... never do male parts have pistils (hairs)... true male flowers are on short stalks, and hermie nanners are so aptly named, no mistaking them too!

There just swollen bro definitely not male as there's pistils coming out that have turned red as there swollen so nothing to stress over

Thanks, everyone! It was quite a scare, but we're now back on business and with the new Mars300 lights installed!
