Hermaphrodite flowers

I wasn't able to notice this until the last two weeks of flowering, b one of my 4 plants, which was sold to me as female seeds, has turned out to be a hermaphrodite!

No seeds on my plants, so no pollen was created, but the flowers, in this late stage, look like female flowers but with a bulbous or thick staminate looking thing that ends in the normal female looking thin flower hairs.

This plant stopped growing sooner than the others... maybe some kind of stress caused the hermi. I did plant this in soil that contained "Dr Earth organic bud and bloom booster"
And I added more soil to the pot about 3 weeks ago. other than that it was grown the same way as the other plants.

Any thoughts?

Will these flowers contain much THC?

I don't get it It sounds to me like your describing calyxs, pictures would help alot.

My camera is not able to take a close up so this is the URL for Google images of hermaphrodite marijuana flowers.

They look like the flowers on one of my plants. Fortunately no pollen sacks formed. The plant suffered stress a month ago and I don't really know for sure what the exact cause was.

Will it be worth smoking?

I guess what I don't get is how it didn't seed itself (and the others) if it went hermie a month ago That's along time to have a hermie in the growroom, and if that's the case you got lucky. But it kinda sounds like something else might be up, I think hermies pretty much always produce pollen...but I could very well be wrong.

It will probably taste like ball sack, but it'll get you buzzed.

sounds like it could be just the buds really fattening up nearing harvest and with that bud and bloom booster in there. just pick the male flowers off when you see them and it should be fine, just make sure they ARE male flowers before you go picking your buds apart or anything

it couldlikely just be swollen calyxes that do nothing but pop a hair, at the bases of a branch nodes = normal.

If you have hermies (big if) the buds can still turn out good if you harvest prior to the pollen being released. Male flowers sort of have a banana look to them before they open all the way and release pollen. When pollen is released you soon loose the sinsemilla qualities that we all love so much. I've had plants hermi late in flowering that did not appear to loose quality.

I have had mixed luck with fem seeds. Some were well behaved and some liked to throw bananas. Sometimes single bananas, sometimes bunches. Seems to me that excessive heat is a prime factor for encouraging hermies. If you catch them early you can just pop em off. Any seeds that result form hermies, I consider likely to be valueless. Now I avoid fem seeds if possible.

Anyway, I'd def save that bud and smoke it, Good luck!
