male or hermie, what defines one or the other...

[snowballnhell]

I was given a few clones that were supposedly female Larry OG's, then yesterday I noticed on (1) upper node on each of the clones that are currently on day 12 of flower multiple sacks, so would these 2 plants be considered males or hermies, TIA!

snowball I dont think those are seed pods I think they are flowers I get them all the time
the difference between a male and a hermie is that a male is a male plant the whole thing is male a hermie is when a female gets to stressed out and grows some seeds

Not to worry. A hermaphroditic plant is a female that has grown pollen sacs, and fertilizes itself. Those are not pollen sacs.

I wonder if the reverse has ever occurred with a male growing buds? I dunno.

starramus, yes ,I've seen males with flowers in magazines, never grew one though, hope I dont.

yes you have a hermaphrodite, it has both male and female flowers, a male would have only those little balls (pollen sacs, umbrellas, bananas, nanners), a female only pistils, this has both, it will produce pollen and pollinate all your females witch will create seeds as a result

[St.buds]

I agree I see both sex parts growing. Hermaphrodite

If you are worried you could do an orchiectomy. Get out the snips and clip off all of those balls. As oldjarhead has seen these growths before I have as well, and had no seed production. Are these the only plants you have? If so let them go, and no matter what you will get some smokeable shit.
