Male signs or not? Better pictures

Vitorastarted grow question 3 years ago
Its been in floration for two weeks and the pistils are already showing, but now two little sacs appeared. Is this a male sign? It was supposed to be a feminized seed

EXCELLENT, thanks mate! Sadly yes, they definitely are 100% identifiable male flowers. If they are appearing everywhere you have little option, unless you want, for whatever reason, seedy flowers or if there are only a few here and there, you could try picking them off as they appear. Missing just one though, can result in the male flower shedding enough pollen to fertilize hundreds of seeds. You have about 1-4 days from when the male flower is "born" until it is mature enough before it opens, so you will need to check your plants very often, as much as every 2-3 hours, just in case you missed any previously. Your/my worst nightmare is missing one then finding an open male flower in the morning that has been shedding pollen all night. These days, I just get rid of any plants like this, heart breaking as this seems. Remember too, seeds made with pollen from hermaphroditic plans will grow into hermaphroditic plants themselves, so these sort of plants are useless as breeding stock too. Pollination, from when the pollen grain lands on the pistil and fertilizes the ovule at the base of the pistils and within the calyx, takes approximately 20 minutes, so finding each and EVERY male flower is vital to prevent seedy flowers. Misting your plants or any other home "remedies" are largely useless, due to the sheer amount of pollen released by even just one missed male flower and the very short time frame of successful pollination of the ovule/seed. I too have had supposedly "feminised" seeds turn male/hermaphrodite, usually autos and very, very, very rarely with photo period plants (I think one photo period plant in the last 15 years). In fact I stopped growing autos due to too many herms wasting my time, money and effort. Decisions, decisions! Good luck, whichever way you go. And I feel your sorrow at this unfortunate occurrence for you. Hope this helps,.... Organoman. .... and thanks heaps for getting the extra pictures up, much appreciated.

Hermaphroditism is not stress induced in this case. Hermaphroditism is a genetic mutation. Hermaphroditism caused by stress, usually results in male flowers appearing amongst/within the female flowers and not as healthy individual male flowers growing alongside female flowers, such as in this case. The male and female flowers growing independently and healthily and at the same time and at the primordial sites, indicates that this plant is a true hermaphrodite and not a female plant that has grown male flowers as a result of stress. Hope this helps,..... Organoman.

That looks like a male banana:/Could it be possible that it is stress induced from previous issues. I have also read that some femenized plants can be hermaphrodites. You could try removing it and see if anymore grow, but there may he a large chance it will grow more being so early into flower.

Correct, seeds from hermaphrodites are not feminised, they are regular seeds predisposed to hermaphroditism. Generally they will also be poorer plants too, due to self pollination allowing previously recessive and unfavourable genes to become dominant genes once again, giving rise to many genetic flaws/mutations. Continuing to breed with subsequent generations of seeds produced from hermaphroditic plants will lead to acclimatized weed cannabis (hemp) with little THC or with any favourable traits sought by people growing cannabis for psychoactive purposes. Hope this helps all who may read this,..... Organoman.

Nog een tip, gebruik aub geen zaden van een hermafrodiet plant als je deze vind. Er word vaak beweerd dat deze zaadjes het beter doen dan hun moeder en best mooie planten worden, maar de kans dat ook zij veranderen naar een hermafrodiet is te groot. Groetjes!

Yes you got a hermaphrodite. Stress can bring this on. Can pinch them off till you decide what you wanna do. If it is growing alone it is better yet for pinching. If you miss one buds will likely contain seeds then. On good side is you will have more of this strain that are feminized. Seeds are expensive. Good catch and happy growing. 🌲🌲🌲👊

Hoi! Je plant is in een hermafrodiet veranderd. Dit moet een gefeminiseerd zaadje zijn geweest, maar de plant heeft beide geslachtskenmerken (je ziet zowel vrouwelijke witte bloemen als mannelijke pollenzakjes). Dit kan een fout zijn in de genetica, maar kan ook te wijten zijn aan de stress van de plant. Ik voeg een link toe, met wat extra uitleg. https://www.zativo.nl/blog/71-wat-is-een-hermafrodiet-cannabis-plant Gooi Je plant niet weg, maar zet het meteen apart en leest over het onderwerp wat je het beste kan. Daar wordt het goed uitgelegd. Je was er vroeg en vond maar twee tassen, dus ze is er nog steeds. Ik hoop dat ik je kan helpen 🙂 Veel succes! 🌱

Definitively male flowers, so your plant got hermaphroditism. You may have stress it too much early. I'm sorry to say you that, but the best choice now is to throw your plant away before the pollen reaches the pistils, clean the room and start again.
