Hi People.
First time growing from regular seeds.In the search for great mother plant i have planted 33 seeds and so far 17 of them turned out to be males.Few other ones apart from pre flowers with hairs shown something else. Is that hermie or some sort of regular seeds type of thing?I know it may sound stupid but just want to make sure before i throw them away
Plants are all in basement with no light coming in from outside.They are all in the tent and veg tent is next to it but vents are covered with cooker carbon filter and flowering tent have light trap from cardboard tested for light leaks.I topped them few times and took 2 quite large clones from each plant. I was kind of giving them tough love to make sure future mother will be strong and wont hermie on me.
Should I remove just them balls or full plants?I sirously need help. THANK YOU
P.S Excuse my lack of English grammar

Looks like herman showed up to the party. I'd probably pull it considering how many plants you have going. Sometimes they do this early on and you can pluck the pollen sacks and they end up just fine. Sometimes they keep pushing out more sacks. Either way it will probably be prone to herm.

Its happening on about 4 to 5 females or possibly more.Shame will have less than 10 plants to choose best mother from.I should have get more seeds but now its so late in the process that it will be waste to start again.On the other hand not sure now if super silver haze it's such good strain for me. I went for it thinking it may be good mold resistant commercial strain...time will tell i guess

Emiel, do not chuck them yet. Sometimes plants get lower nutsacks due to stress or genetics. Pull them off and keep your eye on the lower stems. If you see those balls in your buds then chuck it asap. Those nuts are not near the buds. They have hope yet. Stay on them.

So far i made notes of plants that show this signs and see how it goes with them.From all of the plants there is one of exceptional growth rate and branching right for scrogg. Unfortunately showed signs of hermie as well:/

I made some more pictures today and I think i can see balls near the buds now in some cases.
Is it normal for so many plants to hermie? From 16 females i got left 8 of them showed balls in various parts. That leaves me 8 females to choose mother from initial 33 plants I've started with.

No it's not normal to have so many hermies. Males yes as you were about 50/50 male to female.
