Male?! Cant tell. I pulled one and crushed it and it had stuff in it

Is this a male? GSCE, ILFM, autoflower. Just saw these as I was doing some lollipopping. If so…3 weeks since pistils started. Scrap this one? The others?

Amending to add - middle picture is indeed male parts. Clip off with scissors and spray the plant down with water afterward. @new2-420

So there are multiple locations that have those. Wouldnt it be best to remove? Are the rest going to seed or is it still early enough?

Overall picture of the entire plant, even with those buds, this is male? Sorry to be a pain, just making sure.

I would expect seeds. I will have some this round from a hermie. Bag seed but was so strong i let her/him go for edibles. Cleaned all sacs i could and am just soldiering on. I would isolate for sure. I am just letting the 4 pollinated go isolated in a 3x3 while vegging stuff.

These are last of bag seed so did not care. Great oils.

Mj is prone to hermie and any stressor can cause it. As @Graysin advised trim off any yellow flowers usually down on bottom of plant, and check every few days. But sorry to say that flower dumped its load already and pollen has been released in that grow. All you can do is ride it out and be vigilant to stop more. You could be lucky and just have a few affected buds or whole plant. I think you will be okay man. Good luck

I always pick them off and watch them close for more some will continue making them others will not but definitely get rid of them. You can also spray the tent plants everything down with water just as your lights are going off, just make sure you have the fans on

Just for some positive…get pretty darn stinky with some seeds it seems. I bet different terps produced…just a guess.

Thanks @Storm @Dennis62 @Graysin

I think i just found another one that hermied. Gorilla Glue Auto…dont get it, they have been spectacular and there hasnt been signs of stress. Temps between 69 and 75, humidity is 50-60 mostly at 50 to 55 though. Showed no signs on leaves…thats the disappointing part.

Appreciate you guys.

I found this a pretty regular thing with auto in my grows but my temps and humidity and light leaks so could be my fault. Most i found before flowers opened as I continually watch for them. Too much nutes, light during dark time, light too close, genetics, just to name a few. Could be anything. All these feminized seeds including autos were made by forcing a female to hermie, so hermie is in the genes.
