hermie ?

This what I think it is? - Never seen pollensacks irl, so, sorry for the probably stupid question. Guess topping stressed her out a bit too much ... anything to save on this one, or cut her up right away?

Hello there. Just be aware when frowning feminized seeds it’s pretty common that they will make pollen sacs on the lower part of the plant. If there is only a few like less than 50 or so just pluck them off and keep an eye out if more grow but if they are growing inside bud sites and all over the plant the. The plant is prob just gonna make a bunch of seeds…. I would say 25% to 50% of fem seeds will have a few pollen sacs lower on the plant a lot of the times they don’t even make pollen and if they do it’s the smallest amount usually not enough to pollenate anything further than a few inches away from the poplen sac

Yes looks like pollen sacks. If they are the only ones then remove them and monitor the plant for any more appearing. If there are way more then the pictures I'd toss the plant. It's just one of them things, sometimes nature can be a bitch.

Definitely pollen sacks, didn't look like this is the plant from your diary though? This looks like a photo of a young male plant

Yes, in my opinion its a pollensack. Would cut all pollensack and give it a try. If it continue with showing pollensacks i would stop the grow.

Don’t blame the training bro 😂 it happens to the best of us. Usually it’s genetics or a bad batch, a healthy plant should handle topping without throwing balls everywhere. I’d mention it to the breeder if it keeps happening. I’ve ripped full branches off mine and the only time I ever got a herm was from light leaks. Have a good one bro ✌️ ♥️

Yes. snacks. Punch them off before they open up. Snack hang down on a mini little branch/twig, they are pod shaped like a cocoa plant and they do not grow pistils or trichomes. Topping alone should not have caused it to hermi on its own, If it did, that's bad genetics. Plants should be able to handle a topping before going hemri. Also some plants will product them mid-late flower and you can pluck em off no worries. They normally don't regrow. However if they showing up in early flower. its going to be a constant battle finding them. Might need to cull the plant.

You can try to remove (extra carefully and clean) all the sacs, fix optimal climate conditions and monitor the plant very carefully once a day to see for new sacs. To cut the plant down immediately is always the safer solution.... The choice is yours. Good luck!

Yes bro, that’s definitely hermie you can clearly see the small pollen sacs forming at the nodes. It was most likely caused by stress after topping. I actually had the same problem with my Blueberry, a few sacs showed up after stress too. If you only see a few, pluck them off carefully and monitor daily but if more appear, it’s better to remove the plant to protect the rest

Yes. If few, pluck them off, if around all plant - get rid off.
