Herming?

MrSnoid
MrSnoidstarted grow question 3 months ago
I noticed these structures - is this herming? I have unambiguous female flowers higher up the plant but these are growing on the main stem and from looking at pics I think they may be pollen sacs. Can anyone confirm

Keep an eye, but by look it should be just single female calyx. At same time it could be place were male flower can form. It will have tail, then flower bud/site. Have a look at this question. growdiaries.com/grow-questions/43266-hermie- Give more time to be sure.

Nah mate. This is called sexing It happens in later stsge fems or longer veg grows. It's just female parts. That's all. .no issue here. Good luck.

Some plants will throw out a ball sack later in flower. It shows the hallmark classics of a pollen sack. its pod shaped and supported by a small stem and pointing slightly downwards. Keep and eye on it and see if it fully forms. might just be a dud. but only time will tell. Monitor other plants in the tent for the same thing.

High MrSnoid, It is too small to confirm, keep an eye on it and remove it when it turns out to be a pollensack. Check the rest of the plant to find any male growth on the plant. When you find it you remove them carefully before they develop pollen. When it becomes a daily job I would recommend to start over but a few is not the end of the world as long as you remove them on time. And even when your weed got a few seeds you can always make bubble hash, oil or edibles from it. Happy Growing Buddy! 💚

Okay, there are a few things to look for when checking for hermaphrodite cannabis plants. First, you'll want to inspect the flowers. Hermaphrodites have both male and female flowers on the same plant. Male flowers look like small, round balls, while female flowers have a teardrop shape with small hairs on them. Also, look at the nodes, the parts of the stem where branches grow out. Hermaphrodites might develop small, pollen-producing structures right at the nodes. Finally, you can check the plant's overall health. Stressors like improper light, water, or nutrients can make a plant turn hermaphrodite, so if your plant looks unhealthy, that's another sign to look closely.

Hello there. Good morning. I have had the same exact same problem before. I was worried aswell when I saw this growth. It is nothing to worry about I assure you. It is just some random growth. 100% garentee it doesn't turn into a pollen sac. I always suggest to recheck plants right after the plants stop stretching if there is any pollen sacs at that time and there small just pluck them off the plant. Now if you have main colas that are half herm most deff toss the plant. Again what you have there is just a random growth don't worry about it Have a great

it is extremely small but does have the shape of a single pollensack. which week of flowering is it? are there any other similar things somewhere else on the plant, or are there maybe more irregular growth patterns that seems unfamiliar? anyways i would probably rip that small thing out after spraying it wet and then keep looking closely at every possible internode of this plant for every day of the next few weeks. its annoying but better than finding multiple pollensack formations in the last few weeks of flowering
