Firstly thank you for askinge into this forum, your help has been great
A newbie friend has this plant (we both are trying to grow properly for the first time) and it has been begining to what we thought was budding up nicely until some suspicious looking “things” appeared… See the following photo
My question on her behalf is it a boy, girl or hermie or did it just get stressed and depending on your findings what should she do with it as she has a lovely 2m tall plant she doesn’t want tainted
Looks like your have a hermie. The balls are male flowers and the little white hair’s are from the female flowers. I would say at best it will form male flowers under every bud or it could start popping out male flowers out of the buds in which case there would be no way to pull them off. One way or the other you will most likely end up with a ton of seeds in that plant
