Hermie?

So I'm in a pinch now think that my babies grew some male parts. I plucked off all the sacs I found went over every inch of every plant and some of these sacks had white hairs coming out but didn't want to chance it. Think it was some over zealous that may have caused it. Spent so much time training and vegging and my wife thinks I should cull my grow. They just started flowering and I wanted to wait a couple weeks to see if there is any evidence of actual pollination since the sacs were green and none had a chance to open truly only some with hairs protruding. Should I cut my losses and move on? Is there no way around it?

Chefbjy, are the sacks on the lower part of your side branches? A lot of cannabis puts out what is called faults buds in later flowering. I personally wouldn't cull it because my belief is seed weed is better than no weed.
 
Of course unless it's a single plant inside a multiple grow than I wouldn't chance it.

Thanks Mr.furley. it's early flower they were here and there on the plant one side of the node looks female with white wispy hairs and the other side had pic above that resembles sacs. Found one right under the flower most of them were lower on the branches but has me confused. One side grows a sac and the other a pistil? And sacs having white wispy hairs? I pulled those off too. I'll keep an eye out for more but I put them in my cutting tray after all were collected and tossed them. It's all of the clones except one.

Well, I’m not convinced by the photos and if it’s all of them, I agree to ride it out.
Hope they turn out to truly be girls!
 
Thanks for the reassurance. I'm keeping an eye out. Just means I'll have to inspect them more often. I hope I'm wrong and they're just some swollen ovaries lol.
 
Yea definitely bag seed mayhem. My current Bruce Banner grow is one giant pollination party there are seeds forming everywhere and I'm in week 8 of flower so almost done luckily. It will be good bud, just seedy.
Bagseeds = more Bagseeds is what I'm learning
Those ball sacks will continue to grow and some will turn into pistillate, female growth while others will take the staminate, male growth route. I had the same confusion about mine (they looked identical to yours a few weeks ago) and it turned out to just be a headache.
One observation: not every plant makes viable pollen, some make male parts without causing seeds.
 
It's unreal I seen a few more today was plucking away then I saw this. A few of the hairs on some of the pistils turned brown not sure if it pollinated. Gave an extra dose of bloom nutes hoping to shock into being female a little lol.

yes it does look funky, i think it is hermaphrodite, but you cannot influence sex like that, sex can only be De-estabilized, meaning you could take any male or female and stress it to the point it hermies trying to survive, but an hermaphodite plant cannot be turned into male or female with environmental changes, you can only breed out those expressions.
my advice, get rid of that plant and focus on the healthy females (:
 
All clones are showing these signs except a runt. I have a sprout going on too but from some rec bagseed as well. Have seeds in the mail too but kind of want to ride it out a little longer. But my wife is telling me to get rid of them.
 
I had that same problem with my last grow. I posted and sent pics of my hermied. Both of my bag seed plants did it, swear no matter how good I end up taking care of them and growing them, every bag seed I've ever grown has turned out with nanners or nut sacs. Sorry bout the I'll luck
 
I don't know what to do with myself without watering training and growing lol. I might just move them into a contained area next week and make my judgement then. My first bag seed grow I didn't have this problem I guess it was all beginners luck.
 
I find it is primarily in the lower parts of the plant. Almost like the cure is LIGHT. The intense light seems to favor more flower production, the Nanners & Sacs (some new lawsuit law firm? Lol) end up low on the plant.

Try lolipopping agressively and scrogging low ?
 
KingKush they are under 1000 watt hps so it's pretty intense as far as lightning goes. I have never scrogged and think it is a little late. If you click on my link you can see I'm using the bud based defol tutorial. So lollipopping has been done already. Going to ride it out another week and make my desicion, it's not looking promising.
 
If you have any true ladies in with those a week could mean a huge difference, like I said I've never had good luck with bag seed always had a good Harvest but seedy.
 
The plant I took the clones from had a few seeds but it's really decent. If I can avoid it pollinating or if I can get buds I may just finish it out. My runt in there is so far the only real female but I'm going to move them and see what happens. No training needed any more just feed and water see what happens. I'm wanting to get rid of them now and my wife just smoked some that I cured for 2weeks and tells me to keep them. I can't win lol.
