Determine sex of plant

Post by Timmich »

Hi there fellow growers,

5 weeks ago I started my grown from bag seeds, yesterday I switched my babies to flowering.
I could determine the sex of most plants and I am stoked I only found female signs (2 white hairs) on almost all plants.

There's one plant that I can't figure out though ... it clearly shows the white hairs on female preflowers in the upper canopy, but where I topped the plant I see hairs growing out of a little sack (looking like a male flower).
Is this a hermie I am dealing with?

Need second opinion, cheers!

Tim

I'd say they are pollen sacs on the first pic so probs a hermie but someone more experienced will be better to say. looks it to me so id say get rid and air on side of caution

Thanks for the replies guys, really appreciate the feedback ... since I just started the flowering stage I probably wait a few more days to see how the top flowers are evolving.
Fingers crossed but it wouldn't be a disaster if I lose this plant because there are 10 nice 'lady-looking' plants in the grow room as well :D

Hi guys,

Update: 6 days into flowering now and there's no doubt about it, the plant is in fact a hermie. The other 10 plants in the growroom don't show any signs of pollen sacs so I am a happy camper! :D

Thanks again for the support,
Cheers!

It could be an even bigger disaster if those pollen sacs open or have opened in picture one and spread pollen to rest of plants, you`ll know more in 3 to 4 weeks if so. Prolly why it`s bag seed from an hermie plant.

Maybe it's a non-binary plant. You'll have to call it "they" :roll eyes:
