Stunted bud growth ?

Hello there, Gods of Grass. This is my first grow in 12 years, and I am having an odd problem with my plants. They have been flowering for just over a month now, but only the top colas have sprouted hairs or shown development in the last 2-3 weeks. Is this normal? I am starting to wonder if either 1) the growth of the lower buds is stunted for some reason or 2) I accidentally exposed them to pollen when I culled the males. That would make sense, because the tops of the plant grew after I removed the males.

So, are my babies stunted, or am I growing a lifetime supply of seed?

Thanks!

Kinda hard to say without seeing if the male flowers opened but sounds normal to me.

from the second pic it looks as though you have a little nute burn and the edges are curling up also check your ph levels too it will stunt growth!!!!

the other thing is possible heat stress, i have seen that cause leaves to curl in my plants. got more cooling and they started to bud better and the leaves went back to normal
