if you keep on top of it you can remove the balls. but its likely that theyll keep showing all the way through so keep up. look thouoghly too, theyre sneaky little pricks.

luck

24 hours of light during the first day of flowering isnt really the first day of flowering.....is it?

I guess i gotta clear this up. This kind of plant is only supposed to see 18 hours of light and 6 dark, but i figured veg cyle is veg cycle 24 hours of light will do. And then i changed the lighting over to hps and 18 hours after i noticed that it started flowering, but then i also saw some little balls, pods, and from what iv read those cant be mistaken for flowering hairs, so it turned hermie on me, and the light issue was the only form of stress i could think of..So now my question is can i just rip the male sites off or just let it grow with them on there, cause either way im growin it out its the only one so it cant pollinate any other one. And will the male sites take up more energy with them on there blooming or w/e the fuck they do, or will it take up more energy if i rip them off and the plant just produces more?

you have two options....call it quits with the plant, or frequently check to make sure sacks aren't developing and remove when they do....but i must warn you is mildly difficult

this is my first flowering plant, so i wasnt sure exactly what i'd see, but the buds are stacking with little bulbs. Looks kinda like the male "balls" but its different cause its more of a single entity, rather then having a grouping of the balls. I'v been ripping off the male sacks so far but i think it'll get too hard soon cause the plant is going to start bushing out. What would happen if some off male pollen gets released, would the bud be different from some pure female(sensamila) bud, like potency wise? Or will i just have seeds in my bud?
