ok my plant is on day 51 of flowering and it has a been a very nice looking plant, well the last few days ive noticed some weird flowers all over the flowering colas that were on the main stem when the plant first started to flower, i thought these just indicated sex being that on every node intersection of the main stem each little "preflower" had a hair sticking out of it, eventually the hairs went away and they shriveled up, well now every cola i have has these same weird things on them, and some spots on the main stem still have them, they are hard to explain but they do not look like male flowers, some have hairs growing out and some are just split open. for some reason it seems that the plant is producing seeds, but its soo far into flowering, i sampled a bud to see about this, i was curious about what these little things are., i currently have no pics, im confused because about 50 percent of these little things have hairs growing out, some are just there, and some are splitting open, but none of the look like staminate flowers? is my plant turning hermaphrodite, keep in mind the plant is nearly completely budded. what should i do???

well, most are green, some are partially white, and some may have a yellow tint, but none of them are completely yellow except some of the ones that have split open. i broke a wet bud apart yesterday and it seemed to have seed pods of some sort, maybe im just worried, they do not look like typical male flowers, let me browse through my pics to see if i can show you, my camera is broken right now, but i have some older pics that may show the main stem

i couldnt find any pics however, i can say they these grow at the bottom of the buds, they dont hang like sacs, they almost look like female preflowers, but some are just there, i tried open one but some have nothing, some have hairs, some have a little white things with black things in side of a pouch or something, almost too small to distinguish it, i dont know, i just hope its not giving a last effort to reproduce. oh well its got 2 weeks left until i harvest it im sure that ill definately find out in the next few days

i know it is said that some plants turn hermaphrodite in the last week or two of flowering, i just hope this isnt my case, this is my first plant, i was doing so damn good

sounds like swollen calyxes. this is good. unless you see little yellow flowers sticking out of the tops of your buds then you should be ok.

well i harvested the plant, i found loads of little brown/green seeds, some buds had several little seeds, i was so angry when i came back and read your post, because i had already chopped it, but i actually found one that was like yellow and almost brownish colored, im still confused, the buds were premature but still a good smoke, im about 80% sure it was a hermie, and if it wasnt ohhh welll, i got 8 strawberry cough plants and two kush plants that just sprouted with the last week. im hoping both of the kush plants are female so i can breed kush X strawberry cough, im sure at least 1/8 strawberry will be a male.

I would give the flowering area a very thorough cleaning before putting anymore females in there. You had a hermie for sure.
