Hermie or normal?

Hey guys first time grow, panicking slightly. Swollen calyxs everywhere. I cannot tell if it's a hermie or is this is just normal bud development. I am at day 40 flowering og kush. Really need the help thanks in advance!

No its just random shots of bud.....

Grab a few bracts and open them up and see if there's seeds.

Looks good.

Looks like it might have been pollinated. Like mentioned above, break open a couple calyx's and check for seeds.

I don't see any signs of hermaphrodism.

It looks like the plant is outside. If so it could have been pollinated on the wind. You can break a couple of the calyxs and check. At day 40 I'd just finish it.

Hey everyone thanks for the input. Ok so I broke open 12 from different parts of the plant. They are either completely empty with judt clear liquid or they have white stuff in them.

I have been putting 4 plants in a black out tent since August 1st to trigger flowering. Just a few days ago I stopped putting them in the tent at night because of the later sunrise and earlier sunset. This is the only thing that has changed. Also I'm assuming odds are that if these got pollinated, my others probably did as well?
Thanks for all the help really appreciate!

Update** so today I found out it is starting to produce seeds. Not very many at all. Just random. 90 percent are.empty with white hairs sticking out. I am on day 41, what do you guys reccomend doing? Should I check for nanners and wait until the trichomes are rdy? Will the bud even continue to grow?

Or just take what I can and chop em down?

Why chop it? I would continue as normal and harvest when ready, cure it and smoke. Save the seeds.

Ok no I'm just asking lol I want to continue there are no bunches of balls or nanner or anything just a couple randoms. Ok great thanks for advice! I want to get something for my first time lol

Don't jump on that terrified of a few seeds train and ruin your harvest by cutting early. Finish it out, pick out a few seeds, smoke.

Ok I thought i was screwed and it would just start to only produce only seeds. Thanks for all the help! I will continue to let em go!

Since it's your 1st grow do you have a jewelers loupe to view the trichomes? I bought an inexpensive LED 30x-60x loupe from amazon for around $7 and it's a great investment for harvesting. The 60x is needed to see up close.

Hey, actually just ordered one of amazon waiting for it to come! I figured I'm started to get close so I should have it rdy on hand!thank you tho. What do you reccomend? Should I just continuoulsy monitor for male balls and bananas?

Every watering I check over the plants by eye, since your'e so far along into flowering I doubt any changes will come. Nanners will stand out if you had them by now so I doubt it. Hopefully your buds will come out potent and have a bonus of seeds for next grow. When I first got my jewelers loupe I practiced using it by trimming off a small bud here and there and sit and examine it getting used to what to look for.

Seeds are a good thing for growers. lol i actually get excited when i find the odd one. if i get alot then something is messed up lol... the little things.

If your neighbours grow one of them could have a male or hermie. Mine got pollinated that way.

just finish it out.....you'd be surprised what you get.......last one that did it to me....got plenty of seeds and it was still great smoke.....i still use the seeds today....12 of 12 all fem of the ones i planted......beautiful tall sativa's
