HERMIE?? Or... Calyxs?

This is week 2 of flowering. Plant is extremely healthy. DWC Hydroponic, Jack's 321, 5.8-6.2 ph, with 50%RH. I've noticed these sacs? Or, calyxs? Completely unsure, but it seems that some of them are popping hairs. Wait it out, or should I pluck em? 1 plant by itself. Here are some photos.20200522_160236.jpg20200522_160307.jpg20200522_160358.jpg20200520_170427.jpg

It was just bagseed, practice for my first run in over 10yrs, so it being a hermie isn't a huge surprise. I think I'll just let it go and see what happens, I'm seeing some of these popping pistils, that's why it's confusing. I'd chop it down if I had several other fems

My conditions have been pretty damn spot on throughout the life of the plant, I would assume I just got unlucky with the seed. Have some feminized seeds for the next run, hopefully they will work out. Now, I have read thing saying if there is a hard green ball inside it is a hermie, is that true? Took a couple off and cut open and did not find anything

It is absolutely 100% hermaphroditic. Bag seed is often not a great choice as if the plant was a female, bag seed often means it seeded itself therefore producing seeds that 50% of the time, will be hermie, and 50% will be female.

Makes sense completely, essentially of this were to bud and had seeds and you were to grow those seeds, this would basically be the result. Curious if I were to pluck all the sacs if it would still bud nicely as long as i pulled them before pollen dropped.

I’ve heard y’all of it being done successfully, though generally only when it’s a very small grow as it would take a lot of time and effort that can be better spent caring for the rest of your op, but again, if you have only a few personal plants, I suppose it may be your best course of action to keep it going.

Its a lovely female plant that might have thrown the odd pollen sac from touch of stress, its common for cannabis to do this in all regs autos and fems but the better growers find it dosent happen or very much.

You should keep it and finish it and even grow any seed you get. Hermies arent bred, you learn a strain and get good and it will stop happening - just look at all the fem seed growers here or bag seed pollen chuckers getting seedless bud after ten twenty years growing that when started got herms too.

Its a little stretched otherwise great job.

Okay Nice, yeah i was just wondering because the pistels and sacks in her armpits got so big.
Thanks for the input
And by the way, is it even possible for an autoflower to turn hermie?

"There are two origins that could be to blame for your marijuana plants being hermaphrodites. The first is genetics. Some strains of marijuana simply have a higher sensitivity to hermaphroditism, such as Thai sativas."

Go have yourself several fucking seats.
