Indeed I think there is something wrong
Common Causes Of Hermies
1. Genetic defect or a natural genetic trait.
Some cannabis strains tend to go hermaphroditic as a result of their natural genetic inheritance. Other strains that become hermaphrodite are victim of breeding errors that introduced hermie tendencies into the strain.
2. Unnatural types of seed manipulation can create hermaphrodite tendencies.
The majority of the strains I’ve seen go hermie are from feminized seeds. The process of creating seeds that don’t follow nature’s normal pathway to grow out as male or female can create hermaphroditism in some cases. I’ve also seen this with autoflowering marijuana, not just photoperiod varieties.
3. Some buds go hermie in late bloom phase.
These plants have been waiting a long time for pollen and have not gotten any, so they decide to create male flowers themselves to make their own pollen. This is a great reason to pay close attention to
harvest timing of your cannabis, so you don’t allow overripe buds on your plants. If you let your bloom-phase plants live too long, the buds may start to go hermie.
4. Stressed plants.
Cannabis plants crave an ideal set of environmental and nutritional conditions. If your grow op takes them out of their comfort zone during bloom phase, they might go hermie.
Plant stress comes in many forms. If your grow room is too hot or too cold, that will stress your crop. If your light cycles are unreliable in their start and stop times, or if there are light leaks or other light penetration interruptions during the night period, that’s also a stresser. If your plants are too close to lights or too far away, or if the lights are too intense, not intense enough, or are delivering a radiation spectrum not useful for cannabis, it can induce stress.
If you overfeed or underfeed, overwater or underwater, that too is stress for your crop. If you use inferior hydroponics nutrients, and/or if the nutrients solution or root zone is at the wrong pH, that hurts plants and may provoke a hermaphrodite marijuana situation. If your plants are rootbound, suffering from root rot, or your grow media isn’t aerated enough, that too causes stress.
Plant stress also occurs when growers use inferior bloom boosters that have the wrong amounts, types and ratios of phosphorus and potassium.
If you trim your plants too much, too often, or at the wrong time near or in bloom phase, these actions may trigger hermie marijuana. If your plants are attacked by pests and/or diseases, this too is a stressor that can trigger hermie flowers.
Hermies are much more likely to develop from seed-grown cannabis, but I’ve seen hermies from clones, even when the clone mother never displayed hermaphroditic tendencies.
Anything that means less than perfect conditions or actionable harm for your plants creates stress, and that stress can lead to hermaphroditism, especially if the plants already have a genetic propensity to go hermie.
