Thx GmGeoff, nice plant by the way! I'm cool now, you just don't expect this kinda thing to happen, with the time, money and effort spent on your project.

Yeah I don't think I'll be going back to Heavyweight anytime soon. I'll go with a more proven strain.

I was attracted to them as I followed a grow online and the harvest seemed pretty generous.

I have lights set on a timer, my HPS duel spec and I have a blue spec T5 just off to the side for a bit of extra light. When I come home from work, I'll knock the HPS off to water the plants, but leave the T5 on, do you think that would've had an effect on them?? As they like the red spec when flowering?

Also, what about this reverse spray I've been reading about?

I'm not qualified to answer that, But the mistakes I made prior to hermies were:
. Transplanting. (the survivor had the least disruptive transplant)
. too much water in the germ stage.
.Fert. too soon along with nitrogen burn
. excessive temp. swings ...........70 -95 deg.
. and probably one or two I have forgotten.

I haven't heard of reverse spray

now my 3 1/2 gal pot is totally solid root (bound) and I'm not sure what this will create, although I just read an article that pot bound in flowering stage will stress/shock the plant and make it flower sooner and with bigger heavier buds. Hope they're correct.

Hector, Auto's normally show sex first at individual calyxes first that are located at the base of leaves. Before you toss anything make sure what you think a male flowers are not calyxes. Male flowers will be hanging from a noticeable stem while a female calyx develops directly against the main stem. I don't see any sign of sex in the photo you posted.

Running the T5 is fine assuming it has 5500k - 6500k lamps.

The reversing spray is colloidal silver and is used to create male plants from feminized seeds so that you can then use the pollen to fertilize female flowers and produce your own seeds

Yeah I had major temp issues first of all, and I did get a lil' nute burn early on as I did probably use nutes a little too early, (or too much of a dose a little too early.) Thanks for the advice anyway man! It's all part of the learning exp I guess

Yeah they're definitely hanging from a mini stem, like a little tiny pea pod on the end at the moment. . I chopped one today, as the pod got bigger and I compared it with images I found on google and it was definitely a Staminate Primodia. These ones I'm noticing now are just the same, just a little smaller at the moment.

I thought they were all female, (apart from the one I first identified) 'cause I noticed the fine white pistils emerging from the Calyx right by the stipules. But as I've started to look more at the plant, I've noticed the male parts on the same plants as the fine white pistils. I've been searching for answers all evening, but I don't think there's anything I can do about a hermie is there?

I'm gonna leave it over night, like I did the other. . I'm gonna give some of the others a chance, as things are still really tiny on some and I wanna be 100%.

Shame I can't zoom in proper on my phone, then I could show you.

I'll try with my Mrs' phone when she gets in.

Thanks for the advice anyway Oldster.

If things don't work out, I'm gonna try out a different strain, but try and salvage what I can here.

You know for any trusted websites where seeds are mostly guaranteed to be feminized?

I probably didn't help matters here with the environment first off, but I'm gonna learn to get it right.

They've got the white pistils as well as those little pods protruding out on the stem.

Weird, I thought I was all sorted as the white pistils were the first things I started to notice.

 

[Hector]

Some of the pods on stems seem to have like a claw effect to them to.

 

[Hector]

Will some be alright in here with my female until we're 100% sure on them?

 

[Hector]

One more thing I forgot to mention, I started tucking the fan leaves behind the potential bud sites that we're being blocked by the light.

The branches have grown equal in hight to where the main cola would be.

Would that bring on too much stress causing my plants to go hermie?

hector just chill smoke one and slow down bro.. If your plant is in fact a hermie remember its more female than male so just pic off the nanners . I have had to do this and it works and you will have little no no seeds. FYI like oldster said i don't see any nanners in those pics so im going off what your saying.

o yea just as fast as they hermied they can stop to.

Thanks Elvis,

Yeah mate, I've been having a good smoke so, more chilled now

I'll do exactly what you said, I definitely have staminate primordia appearing down my stems. Like a tint shell casing on a stem.

Thanks again man, I'll go do that.
