Swollen Calyxes or Pollinated plant?

It looks like you had a hermie in the mix. Is that Sour Diesel?

Actually it was my only plant, and my very first plant grow also.

While it did get irregular light starting into it's about its second week of flowering (that was when I got it and didn't have more than a single and OLD, fluorescent tube to light it for about a week.) I did check the plant thoroughly for any hermie balls and didn't see any. But like I said, this was also my first grow, so maybe I missed something.

When I crack that pod, what would a seed look like? Would it be hard to bust open, what would be inside if it was a seed and if it was, cross fingers, a swollen calyxe.

Re: strain, I'm not really sure. I got it about two weeks into flowering, as best I can determine, and was told it was either OG or Master Kush; are those sativa strains. Since I definitely know it's some type of a sativa.

Hermies can also just be a small yellow spike at first,located in the center of the buds, then it opens into a flower and pollenates the surrounding calyxes.
Depending on the age of the seed, it will be a liquid inside at first, then begins to whiten and harden, then it ripens to a brownish-grey with dark tiger-like stripes. Some will have orange or rust colored hues.

I've never grown OG, I have master kush in veg at 8 inches. But I think they are hybrids.

Ive just finished reading a book by Ed Rosenthal that mentioned something about how unpollinated buds swell when they are ripe just as if they had a seed. A false pregnancy if you will.

No no that plant has seeds and it was pollinated.

I guess that is what happened, is there someway to identify early on?

I'm sure I must've aggravated the situation/spread the pollen that is, because of shaking the tree, occasionally trying to see if my whiteflies were still around.

I just trimmed the plant today and am beginning drying it. So I had some nice up close time with the colas. If I had to estimate, I'd say on two or three of colas, there is what appears to be a little cluster within the colas of some obvious seed development. But it doesn't seem wide spread.

Is that wishful thinking, as perhaps the other buds also got pollinated? Or is it possible the pollination was limited to a few select areas?

It is possible. I usually just pick off any male pollen flower before they have a chance to open.
If you're late in flower and they are pollenated, the glands won't swell as much neither will the calyx.

can you take the picture again without the hps on because that light makes it really hard to see. Also if you can take out that thing you see inside and put it onto a hard surface and take a picture of it.
