    this one if you zoom in im not sure if these are hermaphrodite traits but it looks similar to the ones that were as it looks a lot like the sacs but with hairs coming out of it which i know is a possible sign of hermaphrodite
    Attachment 364884

    these are my 2 remaining blue cheese autos their growth was slower than the rest because i topped them (where as i did not top the others that turned hermaphrodite) as a result of the topping i have much much more bud growth areas but like the others it was stinking of blue cheese that distinctive smell but all of a sudden they have started to smell like lemon which is strange because it like the others did and then they turned hermaphrodite so i am wondering if when a plant suddenly switches to lemon smell randomly is it a sign of sever stress
    also light schedules arent an issue here as they are autoflowers

    my guess it's your light source that's the problem,

    Not sure why Monster has these photos but I do not. Seeing them I gotta agree.

    Cheers bro that is what I had feared. I bought a 600w led from Amazon and am worried it's not what it says it is because under a 600w led they should be flying up really
    Guess I'm gonna have to put this down to a very expensive loss

    Dude, how "big" is that pot? About 10 cm or 4 inches?

    If so, my money is on the pot being too small for higher yield.

    The "600w" LED might be what they want to have us believe that the lamp can replace. So my guess is that the wall draw of it might be around 150 - 250 watt just as a ball park figure. My point is that, it's probably not entirely a total loss.

    The plants look small but their colour is good and healthy. Keep it up

    the plant hasn't matured nor developed properly - that's simply a lighting problem
    a small pot means smaller formed plants not underdeveloped buds due to low levels of light

    i seen a 600w led on amazon that didn't even use 125w

    Talking

    Is it an Orange Strain by any chance? Like a Juicy Fruit, or Victory Weed, or California Orange? If it is, those buds will get dank as fuck over time. It's just the way some plants grow no cola's, just buds, but I would say Light would help also. JMO
