Thats a decision you will have to make,if all are herm then ya may just grow em em out and get some seeded smoke which is better then no smoke.
I dont see any male flowers in the pics,but ya definetly have a pollinated calyx in all the pics.Notice how red the pistols on it as compared to the ones on the flowers.A pollinated calyx pistol will wither and die once pollination has occured.Start looking at the bottom of all the flowers and you will find some male flowers in developement as well as some that are mature and shedding.Being as ya dont have a ton of plants ya can spend a 1/2 hour a day removing them before maturity and save yourself some virgin nugs.Tweazers are all thats needed and some patience.
Some pistils go red and fade of regardless. this occurs mainly at the stem. pistils on the flower should stay fresh to an extent. this is not irregular depending on your strain. I know my trainwreck x chemo has withering pistils, yet they are incapable of bein polinated for some reason or another. personally. i only deal with 1 strain. i might occasionally cross with another. but trainwreck is my base- it leaves me asking fewer questions... anyhow. i see absolutely no hermy development. maybe im missing something meangreen isn't, but im pretty sure im not.
LMFAO I look at meangreens post, then notice a pic of this chick sittin there and before thinkin anything logic all I thought was " no way she has a dick"
One benefit of keeping the hermie is that the seeds are "feminized." Since the seeds only have female chromosomes, they are essentially clones of the mother plant. I hope one of my White Widows goes hermie. Good luck!
You're wrong. Seeds from a hermaphrodite contains both male and female chromosomes. They will NOT grow plants identical to the mother plant. Seeds from a hermaphrodite will generally grow females yes, but they will all carry the hermaphrodite gene, and can send out a branch full of male flowers that can screw up an entire crop. My friend calls those seeds "poison pills". We toss 'em in the trash.
I Made my first femminised seedstock in 1999. I have had problems with all subsequent generations of this particular breeding project. It involved a hogsbreath "bagseed" or S1,which had a few male stamens late in flowering. I carefully collected each stamen as it got mature, but before it opened. This took much time, i had to study the plant for an hour or so each morning, before leaving to work. I collected the pollen sacks in an open jar until i had them all dry completely. I kept the jar in the least ventillated area of the house- to avoid stirring it's contents with breeze. This pollen, was used on other plants that were "solid" females. Non hermaphroditic ones-IOW. THOSE SEEDS WERE FEMINISED, but any inbreeding from this point on caused hermaphroditic traits, and some of that first gen of feminised were hermies- some not. Filial inbreeding locked in the hermaphroditic traits in one variation as a matter of fact.It smells of lemons and Gasoline, tastes citrusy and hashy.And gets bannanas three weeks from the finish in large proportions every time I have ran her- except outdoor.
all that is is the pre flowers. the hairs hav turned red because there old. if you push your plants a few weeks more in veg after you see the pre flowers then come flowering time 2-3-4 weeks later those hairs will be very old and started to turn its no problem
