Autoflower hermie?

[chiefj]

Hello all!
This is my second grow. White widow autoflower approx 12 weeks old. The plant seems to have slowed growing and now I’m seeing these sacs growing. It’s starting to look like it’s grow into a hermie.
What do you all think?
I have 2 tents, this one is in the same tent with another flowing auto. But in the other tent I have a flowering female. What to do?

Looks like you have a few issues going on here. Plant looks really stressed overall, very stretchy, weird leaf growth, lots of discoloration on the leaves. Some of this might be genetic, you might have a fast flowering plant, not a stable autoflower. Switching it to 12/12 might bring on stronger flowering. You have some feeding issues by the look of the leaves, probably overfeeding causing lockout of some macro and micro nutrients. I am guessing the light is also too high causing the stretchy thin growth. The Hermi flowers are probably a stress response to all of these factors. It might be hard for I salvage at the stage it’s in.

More info about your lights, nutrients and soil will help people to give you better advice. I can tell you what’s generally wrong, but not how to fix it without more information.

Thanks MI. You are likely spot on.

The plant has been acting odd the last few weeks. So I have tried a few things to try to help. This plant is growing in co-co. I also thought over-feeding, so I flushed and started nuts quite low. Like around 25% of recommend
Nutrients
Hydroguard
Power-Si
Cal-Mag
Advanced nutrients 3 part

Its very likely I over-feed early in the grow. But thought I had that pegged. Then plant went haywire the last few weeks.

should I toss the plant or do I need to do something to protect my other 2 plants?
Thank you for the feed back!

If you don't want the other plants to get polinated I would remove her/him. You can always make oil out of it...

The best thing to do unfortunately might be to bin it. It looks like the pollen sacks haven’t started opening yet, but once they do to pollen can hang around for a while even with a good cleaning and cause seeds to show up for the next few cycles.

Definitely hermied. I don’t wanna sound harsh but I’d bin her. She will just continue to grow maleish flowers. Sometimes some grow male flowers and sometimes you manage to get female flowers but with seeds in them. I’ve grown many plants that hermie but with female flowers and the potency lacks. Not great. But ones that have produced male flowers pretty much like yours, it’s not worth it
