Herma ?

Definitely

Sadly, absolutely yes, that is a male flower....no doubt about it. Commiserations..

Hey Buddy You’re reading this correctly. That little ball you circled does not belong there in a normal female flower path. What we’re looking at • That structure is round, smooth, and sits tight to the node • No pistils (white hairs) emerging from it • Shape is consistent with an early pollen sac, not a swollen calyx This strongly suggests male expression or hermaphroditism, especially if: • The plant was expected to be female • It’s early in flower / preflower • There has been stress (light, nutrition, drybacks, temps, swings) Important nuance (so we don’t panic blindly) • One sac ≠ total disaster yet • Early herm traits can appear localized • Environment correction + monitoring matters a lot here What I’d advise the grower (step by step) 1. Inspect the entire plant • Check every node, top to bottom • Look for more balls or clusters 2. Check neighboring plants • Especially if they’re at the same stage 3. Reduce stress immediately • Light intensity (this plant already looked suspicious at 20 days) • EC / feed balance • Dryback extremes 4. Decision point • One isolated sac → can be carefully removed + monitored daily • Multiple sacs / clusters → plant should be removed, no debate If this is the only plant Then yeah… hard truth, but removal is safest unless it’s a personal experiment. If there are multiple plants This becomes a risk management call, not an emotional one. Over all and this all reflex my humble opinion That ball doesn’t belong there. Not in our world. Growers Love my friend 👊

Hey growmie, yes it definitely looks like one

Hi, Unfortunately Yes. You can try to Pinch it Off, but Most likely it will grow more of those.
