Ok As title says, wk 5, just started flower stage, still keeping lights at 18/6 tho. Sitting in ffof, in a 2 gal smart pot. Light feed once or twice in veg. Got it under approx 10-12 23w cfls. 1 32w cfl grow light, at 6400k. The other 23w is mostly 5000k, but a few 2700 mixed in. Seems to be like a Christmas tree shape. Few side branches, but only done lst to her. No pruning/topping/fimming/ anything. Just the lst with natural fiber string gently pulling side branches down away from the canopy. Still within 6" from the light tho.no further than 6" for the side branches. The top is rather close at like an inch or two. But no burnt tips or anything. Temps staying at no higher than 76, let it go as high as 79 once. Night hours dropping to about 63. 61 @ the coldest. Officially its day number 36 for her. I'm thinking its a her anyway. That leads to me to reason behind this post. As this is my first grow, and yes I've done my research, my question is this, is whats shown in the pictures the formation of a calyx that hasn't shown its hair yet? Or is it possibly herming on me. I've read that spade shaped "balls" or "sacks" could form on female plants, and if so, get rid of them as they will pollinate the entire crop. This is an auto mind you, it has female calyxes and pistils, but the pictured sac is worrysome. Just showed sex about 5 days ago, and were not present when first calyxes showed through pistil so they recently formed, as in like within 2 days. Any comments as to what I'm interpreting as a calyx that hasn't released its white hair yet would greatly be appreciated fellas. As always, burn on. I know I will.
