I just found a couple of these on my lovely lovely BMR ladies 19 days into flower.

O.K. this looks like a male organ to me...I found what looked like an open one of these but there was no polen.

I am trying to be optimistic about this but I am starting to get that sinking feeling.

In my experience when a plant turns hermie it goes hermie. But this is strange. I am only finding one ball here and there. When I encountered hermies in the past they showed multiple ball brachs just like a male.

Is it possible that I can get a few balls but no real pollen?

I am seriously going to cry now because I am extremely low on bud and this was to be my Christmas stash. I will not have time to start fresh from seed

Can anyone tell me anything positive? Is it possible to get some of these balls but they are not fertile?

Possible yes but the times I encountered those were generally much later in flowering.

Your lady looks slightly mannish

BenitoCereno · 10-24-2005, 11:42 PM

Thanks for all the support and especially the girl power, I can use it in this case.

I found this on one of the lower little branchlets on a different plant this morning.

Please tell me if these are immature banannas?

It can be managed buddy... just little Extra Time. I always like it when the bud spits a a couple of seeds.

mean mr.mustard · 10-25-2005, 01:40 AM

WTF is that picture of Benito???

I have never seen that in my decade plus of growing

But I admit to only seeing bananas coming out of male flowers also.... I have wondered what they look like if they appear on a girl, for your sake I kind of hope those are bananas for fear of the invasion of the body snatchers

It could be worse

BC u made me lol,,, ans so did everyone answering this post...... lmao....... what your arrow is pointing twards in the 1st pic is not a male flower ....... lmao... it's normal to have (false) seed pods on the nodes.... sorry for, lmao but i cant't help it..... BC,,, please do not cut your plants..... i repeat what your arrow is pointing twards in the 1st pic is not a male flower.

Well I can't make my mind up. That last pic does look like nanas, but I know what Drawoh means on the first pic. Some plants do put out single giant female buds at the node that look like male sacks but dont come out on a stalke like the male pods at the same points. The way to tell is to feel it. If it feels empty then it is a normal female bud, if it feels solid, esp if on a tiny stalk, then it is a male pod and needs removing.

mean mr.mustard · 10-25-2005, 02:13 AM

I don't want anyone to cut down their plants (even the males) !!! I have seen false seed pods but they have never had segments like that one, I have also seen male flowers that look just like that photo showed too. Usually the false seed pods just kind of wrap around themselves in one piece. Male flowers look similar minus the hairs, save for the five segmented pod.... good luck Benito

BenitoCereno · 10-25-2005, 06:56 AM

Thanks for all the responses guys...I'm confused too. I guess since I cant really chop because I need the bud, even seeded, I will use this thread as a hermie/or not experimentation thread.
