Professor DeBacco
Visually Recognizing a Hermaphoditic Plant
Hermaphroditic plant contains both female and male sex organs.
Not common in general
Some strains have greater odds of producing a hermaphroditic plants
Also, plants under stress may also increase the odds of hermaphroditic flowers
Hermaphroditic plants can sometimes self-pollinate since both pollen and ovaries will be produced on the same plant.
Herming Out Due to Stress
Plant damage
Including heavy pruning
Environmental stresses
Water stress
Salt stress
Root bound
Nutrient deficiencies
Monitor Plants
When plant are exposed to a known stress this should be an indicator for growers to do an extra scout for flower identification.
Indoor Stress Examples
High temperatures
Light intensity
Outdoor Stress Examples
Physical plant damage (due to wind commonly)
Know the genetics as some strains tend to have more hermaphroditic tendencies and should be removed once identified.
What to Look For…
Look for both buds and pollen sacs on the same plant and sometimes in the same flower cluster.

There are two known types. The ones that actually grow full on pollen sacks & the ones that just grow (stamens/nanas) and usually will only lead to seeds in the actual buds they occur in.
If pollen sacks are produced they can pollinate your entire crop very quickly. I.D. those plants early and destroy them away from the other plants.
Scouting and removing are key.
I would love a pic of both types you mentioned.
Thank you very interesting
Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for the info
No problem 👍
Everyone says herms and males are bad but since i love to grow, i think its lucky as you can benifit from alot of seeds, which most of the time turn into females so you basically get a few free years of growing, instead of paying 30 bux for 3 seeds
Making the best of the situation!
I have a question does alien x gorilla have more or less herming tendencies as gg4 gorilla glue #4 purchased a bunch of seeds n dont know if i should even bother planting them please lmk thanks
Some crosses do seem to have increased odds of this issue.
I propagated a cannabis plant from seeds from a wild plant in my home town, and at first it showed magnetic characteristics, but after five weeks I found pollen sacs on the top of it, I only have this one plant, and I was wondering if I can get rid of the pollen sacs? If I get rid of the pollen sacs will it still be psychoactive? Can I light it up in the future?
You can remove the male flowers as you see them, however if all the flowers are male you will not get a harvest.
I harvested and found a small cluster of hermie male flowers at the base of flowered stalk and they were opened. Will the seeds from this accidental pollination carry the hermaphroditic trait or possibly be viable genetics?
Sounds like it was stress induced and while the genes may be present the odds are low of seeing an outbreak based on your description.
Usually if it's just a few nanas or even a few sacks one one plant it is stress related. But that said, different/phenos/strains will react differently and handle stresses worse or better. So yes it's stress but it's also related to the genetics too.
i always looked on the bright side as a chance for some good seed, if i didnt pull it ✌️💚
Nice to always keep a positive attitude.
I have 6 straggly plants (beginner!) outdoors and one of my best is a hermie. I have been grooming the plants to remove leaves showing Septoria browning (also treating with Trichoderma) and to identify and remove the little white buds. Is this enough or do I have to isolate the plant or should I just destroy it? Is there a spray to 'un-hermie'? Thanks very much for your posts.🙏💛💙
Isolate and treat to try and prevent/limit the spread.
sounds like you played with your plants to much lol ✌️💚
Peace, I have an indoor vegging female until I topped multiple and trimmed now have these sticky sac looking (I had a male and its not seed sacs) ... she looks healthy but is she stressed and do you believe if I just lay off for a few weeks all will be ok ? Thank you for your knowledge, this is my 3rd plant that survived lol I love it ✌🏻💚💨💨💨💨Stay High
Reduce plant stress and feed normally and hopefully things return to normal.
@@DeBaccoUniversity peace, thank you for responding and she is getting better ✌🏻💚
I think I have the same as you it almost looks like it should be seeds like sticky pods but when you open one up it's nothing 🙏 I'm hoping it goes away .. all the buds look normal and beautiful 🤷
If you start your grow from seed outdoor it is harder to herme. Seedlings grown outdoors become accustomed to the stresses the environment brings. Indoor grows are a huge gamble regardless of how good you are and can completely wreck an investment. Always grow outside.
Lol I grow indoors and always have major Sucess Outdoors i just wash for making hash.
Should not make a difference as it can come to plant stresses that the growers can unintentionally induce or not correct.
I have never had these sacs and still they hermie. I have been told it’s due to light pollution at night. They show all the signs of being female until I notice seed in the flower. So frustrating
Could be other environmental stresses such as temperature.
I planted a seed this year from my hermie from my last grow and it also hermed. My question is can a hermie get pollinated from a male plant as well or with it only pollinate from its self and have female seeds.
If the pollen is viable.
That's the mathematics I like!
It is all in the application.
I’m having a hard time distinguishing between Caylix or male clusters
Probably just need to wait a little longer and the visual differences should be apparent.
@@DeBaccoUniversity yes it actually cleared up within the time you responded.. Ty
I've found 2 hairs are a dead giveaway
Whats the difference between a silver nitrate induced herm and a stress induced herm ? Why does the stress induced is the only one that passes the herm trait?
One is controlled and will have better yields. (Silver nitrate)
Just found out the only plant I have is a hermie. Will removing the pollen sacks as I see them, keep it from self-pollinating?
This should help reduce the odds, and if you need some seeds you can isolate the flowers and see what you get.
@@DeBaccoUniversity ok, that makes sense. Thx for the reply.
Is there a benefit to it?
As in if a plant can be "forced" to go Herm, will it's seeds be normal, or will have damaged genetics leading them to be Herm's?
You could potentially produce seeds with just one plant.
Can I use Hermie plant's seeds?
In short yes, but there is the possibility of this trait showing up again the offspring.
I have taken clones frist week of flower from plants that 2 week's later hermaphrodite I'm sure was me over pruning will the clones be hermaphrodite
Sounds like it was stress induced.
@@DeBaccoUniversity the question was will the clones from the plants become hermaphrodite
Only if grown under stressful conditions.
I accidentally left a lamp light on in my grow room during 12 hour dark time last night. I noticed it when I was checking my dehumidifier before work this morning. I'm just looking for peace of mind. It's been almost three weeks since I flipped them into flower I haven't defoliated since then so their canopies are a little excessive, and they are in a tent so the only light would have been through a ventilation screen on the bottom of the tent. Should I be concerned?
Would love to get some feedback from you
One night with the lights on should not cause a complete change to veg so make sure you keep the plants in 12 hours of continuous darkness.
Hello. When do the seeds ripen after removing a banana? Also, will it pollinate the other plants in the tent? If I cut it when the normal harvest time comes, will the seeds be ripe? I want to take his seeds while he is a hermaphrodite.
Look for the dark ran/brown coloration to the seed coat. Yes, one male will pollinate a full grow tent, room or even large number of plants in an outdoor setting so be aware the grains are very small.
@@DeBaccoUniversity thnx bro 🙏
Can i use the seed in this kind of plant?
If it is viable, it still should produce a viable plant.
In Germany we say ein Zwitter.
Thanks for providing the translation.
what about Ethylene? i have seed plants (regs) in flower and they have some herm-trates. what about the clone run or the 2nd clone run? do they have more female hormones and so less herms? im looking sexual stability ^___^ regards and love!
Reducing plant stress is key. Ethylene can work but the timing and concentration are critical factors.
thank you :) @@DeBaccoUniversity
Can you tell if a plant is a herm when it's in veg?
Only in late veg when pre-flowers are produced.
Can a plant have male and female limbs on the same plant? Can I cut the male limbs and save the rest of the plant?
Not common as the limbs (unless treated) should not produce separate flowers. Watch for the same flower producing both pollen and stigmas.
@@DeBaccoUniversity this plant has 1 limb producing male pollen balls.The rest of the plant is budding.I have another plant doing the same thing now.If seeds are produced on these 2 plants will they be female? Thanks for any help/advice.
@alananderson4161 Following .. my opinion is I think they are female I had one do it last year and this year most of my plants turned out female 🤷
@@tommyhurst90 plants this year were all female but they turned hermie just like last year.I trashed all the seeds.
But can you still smoke a hermie?
IMO, yes. It's not as potent but will do the job.
Yes, but has reduced chemical concentrations.
Grew gg#4 , grew a few sacks in week 3 luckily I picked them off and watched closely till it finished, best plants I ever grew, found 1 seed out of 9 ounces.
I haven’t grown in over twenty years, and only ever used the seeds I could scrounge up from good seedless (almost) bud. My experience was similar. Often they’d herm out, and only real bad occasionally. If I was persistent and patient enough I could usually stay ahead of the “guy parts” and keep from making too many seeds. The work was worth it though and the product from those plants was often amazing by the standards of the day. I’m sure given the almost extinction of prohibition and proliferation of seed banks since then the product coming from the seeds available for outright purchase (a privilege I didn’t have then) would blow my mind”old head” mind.
Plant scouting is important.
If you stress a plant making a hermaphrodite will the seeds be hermaphrodite what about the seeds from pollinated non hermaphrodite plants in same room
Remove the stress and you should get consistency in your plant material.
@@DeBaccoUniversity next time I will remove the stress. Please reread my question
If the hermaphrodite trait was the result of stress by removing this in the proceeding plant material you should remove the issue.
@@DeBaccoUniversity thank you
I see what you were saying now
That's not the question asked, your answers are really superficial @@DeBaccoUniversity
Should we not be defanning in the flower stage? It's one of the topics where some growers swear by and others curse. Im worked at several different grows and have been told different things. it would be nice to get your input.
Typically lower leaves would be removed and then de-fanning would occur near the buds closer to actual harvest time to increase air circulation.
We also call them Ladyboys…….
Interesting term;-)
I can say without a doubt a hermie female will produce all female seeds but will inherent hermaphroditic traits. im looking at a 60 40 hermie to female ratio. thats the price u pay for cutting corners though.
Thank for providing your experience.
Seeds in weed suck.
Unless you want to grow them.
this happened to mine , i kept trying to search because i was like “i thought this was a feminized seed why am i seeing pollen sacks”
Glad the video content was helpful!
Pull them out and throw away.
If minimal you can selectively remove the male flowers.
Also known as TRIPLOIDS😂
Some can be.
Intersex my dude, got to get away from the silly terms
Published scientific papers are using the term as presented in the video.
Make the name of it pollution!
Pollen is important for breeders and also those looking to increase genetic variability.
Eat video short and infromatoinal
Thanks, glad you like them.
