Do hermit balls grow brown hairs?

Hi,

Recently had an epic fail and a carbon filter landed on one of my plants as a result I have been inspecting it closely and can see what look suspiciously like balls. They are autos and I do have cola forming and various bud sites. I notice that one of the things I would call a ball has brown hairs coming from it so unsure if this a calyx or a sack. Would a male nut sack show these hairs?

Thanks for the title correction. Posting whilst high, schoolboy error.

Well, I was a hermit for a while so i would know. and yes they do.

Actually, they don't.

Balls are just balls. That's it. They open up to release pollen. I don't think it would be possible to have a calyx and ball all in one.

Think about it, have you ever seen a girl with a penis instead of a clitoris? That's essentially the same thing. And I'm talking naturally here, lol

So you're safe if there's hairs coming out of the ball you see. That's the stigma, which is what would catch pollen

Sweet. Thanks for info all seems logical but as with everyone I can probably over analyse the grow process sometimes

this is incorrect. i have personally seen hermaphrodite plants that had pistils growing out of pollen sacks.

pics would definatly help.

hermit balls hahahahaha made my day

Im still trying to figure out what a hermit plant is...Maybe a loard of the rings strain? or maybe a hermit plant is a plant that lives alone and doesnt like other plants? hmmmmm

Your thinking of Hermitt Romney.

I think what your seeing is just a calyx. It is a preflower that usually swells a little bit earlier than the rest of the flowers. They form right on the main stems. The two hairs are pistils that mean it's female. The balls are different looking, they are more of an oval shaped pod that grows on a little stem.
