Is this plant gonna be a hermie?????

I'm no plant expert when it goes to the hermie but yes those are balls and they will produce poklen. If you don't want to risk the others having a bunch of seeds then yes I would take her out my man... don't destroy her or anything until someone with more hermie experience weighs in though.

gaaahhh!! Them is bollocks, alright,... sucky Mike, but it happens on rare occasion,... I don't think the light is behind this, either penetration or spectrum,... fem'ing plants carries it's own set of risks, and this is one of them,... As A-Train says, you have no choice but to isolate,...uhh, it! Or, if you're willing to risk scanning and plucking nut-sacks on this plant EVERY DAY, like your harvest depends on it-- and it does, you can roll the dice and keep it in there, but I don't recommend it,.... I know how brutal it can be to trash-can a beauty plant though, so it's your call,... all I can say is a little pollen goes a very long way, and contamination of a tent requires a major clean-out!

.. good news is, doesn't look like the male flowers opened yet... they form up at the end of a distinct stalk as they mature, with a simple flower at the end.... yup, certain mate, sad to say,... some folks have managed to keep them at bay until harvest as described above,...it's a craps shoot!
I'll jus throw the plant outside I still have 4 plants that was one of my nicest I had high expectations for her and one of my other plants was stunted a fan fell on her and overwatered and fed get to early to make up for it so now I have 3 and a half plants and a hermie wow and I thought I was gonna be a good grower lmao I have watched over everything so closely made sure everything was jus how they say to do it and this happens wow
I got two of those on my first grow, brought them both out of grow room and put them in the kitchen with some cfls above to finish flower. And i removed the sacs everyday, at harvest i found out that one sac was hidden under the buds but no seeds anyway.
I did some studies about it since and these are the facts that might intrest you:
1.Hermies are either caused by poor genetics or cheap femming technics, or by environmental shocks(temp, nute mostly N, PH issues, growing medium size and temp, hst...)
2.not all of the same strain plants show this reaction, some stay female even in close to death situations
3.bushy low height plants are more prone to becoming hermies.
4.most of stress caused hermies pollen are inhert and wont seed up your plants.
5.genetical hermies normally grow sacs on different nods and female and male part apparition sites are seperated. Shock hermies grow sacs among female flowers.
Dont worry, when you stress too much and try to control everything in first grow some details slip your mind, thats what experience is for
You will get better with every grow.
Good luck
