Swollen Calyx or is this a hermie?? 7 weekth of budd (Lots of Pics)

I have been troubled to find balls on the lower branches of one of my plants. It first appeared on the smallest plant... Bubba Kush and then some have appeared on the other bubba kush plant but not nearly as bad. I have found some with the hair coming out and i think that indicates it is a swolen calyx??? Yet some have a small white hard thing in it? Possible Seed?

I have 4 plants in a grow tent... Since im so late in the flowering stage and probably only have a few more weeks to go should i still be worried about this affecting my entire crop.

I have heard that bubba kush tends to go hermie late in the growth, has anybody ever heard this or have experience growing them?

The master kush clones im also growing seem to e a lot more crystally and sparkly white all over the buds while the bubba kush ones seems to be of somewhat stunted on bud growth..

For now until someone can help i have quarantined the smallest bubba k plant in a safe closet far away.(it has decent buds and i still want to finish it) I left the other bubba kush plant due to its size in the grow tent with the other healthy master kush plants. If i see any ball whether it be a swollen calyx or pollen sac i have pulled them off and safely discarded i cleaned the fans hoods etc....

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Here are the pics on the smallest (i think hermie crop that i quarantined)
Heres where i was finding them and i put a pic of the main cola as well as all the pods or swollen calyxes???

swollen calyxs...100% positive

CK

In the 3rd pic you can see the white seed like thing that came out of one of the pods...... However I've noticed most of the balls on my healthier bubba-kush plant has a brown hair coming out that might indicate its showing its female dominance???

Heres some pics of my other two crops they look really healthy but still have some time...

Im just nervous about the fact that i think that small (Bubba Kush) turned Hermie???

Please Help

Bump - any oppinions???

Those just appeared on one of my plants last night. I thought it was a seed as it looked like a tiny premature seed was inside.. Im hoping I dont have a hermie on my hands.

Ya thats what i found but i really dont think its a hermie the plant loks so healthy ... im just going to pick off anything that looks suspicious and survive the next two weeks till theyr are ready to be flushed and harvested..

Anybody else with more experience please help us out with these pics

look good to me, those single little calyx that randomly pop up on branches are usually what i smoke when im trimming, haha they usually drier than the rest of the plant so you can pop them off and load up a nice bowl of calyx's

I've dealt with many a hermie in my day, and there is nothing in any of those photos that show staminate growth.

Post more pictures if you're nervous, but you appear to be okay.

except in your 3rd pic it kinda looks like a seed laying on your table haha why dont you just squeeze the damn thing and see if theres seeds in it

if there is a green hard ball INSIDE of the calyx coating.. then it is hermie. if it is/they are empty then it is just a calyx and female.

it's full of seeds

Ya well that lil hard seed is what came out of one or two of the 20 calyxes that i pulled off the lower lateral branches. I only found 2 with something inside of them. For the mean time im just going to keep an eye on the situation. I'm in the last couple of weeks of budding now so i think i can just ride it out and keep an eye on things.

If it is in fact a hermie then should i be worried for it to affect my crop this late? 8 weekth of budding complete tomorrow

In the first post, picture number three. I see a male pollen sack in the upper right area of the photo. You'll know if one opens.

Yea guys that is a seed in pic 3. And we should all remember that a calyx is simply a seedpod without a seed in it (i.e. it has not been pollinated). Unseeded calyxes can get very swollen so I see nothing out of the ordinary in pics 1 and 2 but having a seed like pic 3 is pretty conclusive evidence. Also know those seeded calyxes are not the source of your pollination, they only received the pollen. You must have male stamens elsewhere in your garden. Look for little banana shaped sacs sticking out of the buds.

good advice

I understand ya this makes sense... I think the buds kind of look differently but can i put up a picture of the buds on the crops and get somebodys elses oppinions


Or does somebody have a picture of what the banana shape looks like or have a pic?

Pics of the cola ( it looks different to me???)

or is this just what bubba kush looks like late in flower

I have a strain called Bubba's Kush from Cannacopia. It is genuine Bubba Kush bred with Tom Hill's Deep Chunk males and it is my favorite smoke. Here is a picture for you to compare. Looks very similar to your second pic. I've never had hermies with this strain and this plant was completely unseeded. My avatar pic is same strain and you can really see how the calyxes can look like little seed pods.



The attachment pic is not mine thank god but shows very clearly the banana shapes you need to look for. Sometimes there is just one, sometimes clusters.

Thanks for the help mared juwan

Those pics look nice and i understand now what a banana leave is.. It looks almost thick. So basically i have found a seed pod with a baby seed formation in the previous pics ive post.... So that must mean that the plant stressed to a point but it still looks quite fem to me. Its the smallest plant and is all running through the same res.... So its been getting a hefty amount of nutes compared to the others.

Im gonna post some pics just for some extra advice if these are in fact not banana leaves?? They dont look like it to me but if anybody has an opinion im all ears. Thanks for ur posts all .. These pics are all from the possible hermie.. where the premature seed was found
