So as of now i could just be paranoid about the pollination huh?
Whats exactly are these in my picture, are they pollen sacks or what? should i be pulling them off?
My girls have had some heat stress but also have had the risk of pollination im so confused hahaha
Either way what will be will be, this crop will be finished regardless of what happens. Tent will be cleaned and moved to a friends along with another and then its holy grail kush time
Edit: Also if there not seed sacks what exactly was the little green seed looking this in the one i pulled off

It coulda been starting to hermie tho, really early stages but most peeps ive known to get them havnt noticed till the bananas showed up, so don't know mate, my only guess would be totally undeveloped male parts.
time will tell man, but if it does just keep pulling em off.
Cool, sounds good man!
Like i say i wont be pulling them now as i feel ive invested to much time to not just see what happens. If i empty my tent i cant set up another for a few weeks till my pal moves anyways so it makes sense to see these ones out.
If nothing else im learning an awful lot from these girls :thumbs:

Carbon,
from rereading this thread a couple of times I am guessing you are not very familiar with plant biology.
Just to be clear.
If you have newly budding female plants growing and friend "A" walks in after bathing himself in pollen and shakes the pollen off of himself and all over your newly budding females,
the result will not be the hermaphrodization of your females.
This is without regard to the pollen being from a legitimate male or a hermaphrodite.
What will happen is that the viable pistils will be pollinated and form seed. Residual pollen can be rendered virtually infertile by misting the area of exposure a few times over a few days. However, if degradation of the pollen is not initiated artificially it can remain viable for quite some time and be the source of random seed clusters in otherwise seed free plants.
If you mist your now exposed and pollinated females and grow area down with water after the exposure, only those buds that were exposed to the initial pollen will produce seed. Those buds that form after will not produce seed if they are not exposed to viable pollen. Each pistil is capable of producing one seed, Each pistil that produces a seed must be fertilized by a piece of pollen. No pollen attaching to that pistil, no seed.
The truth of the matter is that you could very well transfer pollen to your plants yourself by incidental exposure to male pollen blowing around your neighborhood.
But the result would just be a few odd seeds.
Now if you have a plant that is a female that goes "hermaphrodite", you will most likely have a plant that starts off looking like a female and producing buds like a female, and then sometimes midway through bud production but usually towards the end, they will produce a few male flowers randomly through the various buds.
This is not really a herm. And in my experience did not result in tons of seed nor a noticeable drop in the expected effect of the cannabis.
