Hermaphroditic Cannabis Plants (Often called Hermies)

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.
