Female or Hermie?

[gavinm]

Hi guys, just looking for an expert opinion on if my girl has turned hermie on me. Thanks in advance for your replies.

 

[Mr.furley]

Boy it is hard to tell with the pictures your providing, can you give us the age of the plant and some.pics from were the fan leafs met the main stock?

 

[gavinm]

Sure thing. Like this you mean? Its 3 - 4 weeks in to flowering, but ive had some issues. Thank you Mr Furley.

 

[Mr.furley]

What's this, is it a pod/pods with out pistils growing out of it?

 

[gavinm]

I think there are pistils coming from nearly all of them, or at least the beginnings of pistils. Hopefully the following pictures maybe more informative. (I should invest in a better camera lol)

 

[Mr.furley]

Gavinm, to my untrained eye on herm's at this stage it looks like a stretchy plant or a re-veg but I wouldn't feel comfortable being the one to saying yes it is, but it is strange growing. You mention problems? What kind of problems?

 

[Mr.furley]

You should get a Jeweler's loupe

 

[gavinm]

yes i had to chop the top two buds, that suddenly wilted and died on me, ive had a few power/electricity outages, so Mr Furley, in your personal opinion, do you think I should throw throw it and start over? Thats what I am thinking, I cant see any tricomes or very few and I am fast losing heart with it. Thank you for your help anyways Mr Furley. Most appreciated.

 

[Mr.furley]

Gavinm, power outage can cause a plant to herm especially if it happened in flowering. To be honest for 3-4 weeks, your buds are a little confused and underdeveloped looking but this can be a factor of many things
For instance if you are growing under a low watt light, or had problems your plant may not develop properly and may not grow to there full potential, but it does not mean you won't harvest something and sometimes something is better then nothing so DON'T LOSE HEART! So I would like to ask about your growing environment, can you elaborate a little more.

Hey GAvin, I don't think Mr.Furley will mind ,if that's your only plant ,keep on growing her, You will be smoking bud in a month or so, that would be a waste to kill her.

 

[Mr.furley]

Daas, you are always welcome at this party.

 

[gavinm]

Thanks Mr Furley and of course DAAS.69, i take strength from you encouragement and will see her through till the end

About my growing environment, its slightly less than ideal, I am limited and trying to make the best of what I have to work with, I am running a 300w cfl dual spectrum, with two fans no outtake, but it gets plenty of fresh air circulating from the window next to it, which is always open, I switched nutrients from miracle grow (amateur) I know in veg to big bud at the start of flowering. Once again thanks, you guys do an awesome job here.
