    Hermie in the hen house?

    Can you tell by my close-up if this plant is a hermie?

    This is my very first grow, the 14 young 3-week-olds you see in the foreground. A neighbor was about to throw out the plant you see in the background, because police had visited the house next door for a completely unrelated situation. So, I adopted this 'girl' 7 days ago, leaves all drooped over, re-potted her, and put her in a small grow tent inside my larger grow tent, because she's not autoflowering, and all the ones I started from seed are autoflowering. Her leaves expanded within an hour of watering, and she grew 3" the first two days. This was exciting for me to witness.

    I know it was risky, albeit maybe stupid, to take an outdoor plant and bring her into my grow tent. Pests and other considerations aside, I'm afraid she's a hermie. My biggest fear with this is of her pollinating my 3-week-olds.

    I am grateful for suggestions, and opinions.

      DAAS is correct - no wonder your neighbor wanted to get rid of it.

    Throw it out and clean your tent really good or you'll get pollinated

      Yup, definite male, get it out fast and destroy it. With your plants being young, you have plenty of time to move them out of the tent and wipe down every nook and cranny of that tent. I'm no expert but I believe your plants are way to young to be pollinated but the pollen can live in your tent plenty long enough to pollinate your plants later .

        THANK YOU each, and ALL.
        I am so grateful for the knowledge. He's gone. Cleaned the mini tent super-well. Cleaned around the mini-tent well.

        Can 3-week olds get inseminated?

          no they cannot, until flowering that is, buds are made of calyxes and pistils which are made to catch the pollen that male of yourse will produce and create seeds in order to reproduce, any pollen in your grow are wil become infertile dust in a couple of weeks so nothing to worry about

          Plants that are flowering become pollinated. They need pistils to seek out pollen. You should be 👌. Just make sure you clean real good.
