hey guys It's difficult to see on the pictures, but my girl is about 50 days old and on her main bud a calyx is open and I think it's either a seed or a nanner inside. A few pistils turned brown only on the main bud around the open calyx...does not sound good does it? Do you think it hermied? All other buds still have white pistills. And the other plant that is same age also has only white pistils everywhere with no sign of brown yet. Sorry that some pics are sideways..uploaded from phone.
 
Noob, I can't see anything wrong in those pics ( well, it is wrong that all that frosty goodness isn't under my lights right now!).
If it looks like a 'naner or male bits to you, I'd mist the area lightly with water and pick off the potentially offending part with tweezers. Then keep a sharp eye out for any more popping up.
I like to mist before and after "neutering" to minimize the chance of pollen spreading.
 
Noob-- I don't see any nanners either, but with all the yellow in there, they can hide out a bit! --nothing looks like a nanner bunch though, very much like it's namesake... can you Paint-shop an arrow to the spot you're referring to? ...here's great pic of a bud loaded with them--

.... that bud is FUBAR! :doh: :rofl: ... in any case, you're so late in the game here, seeds would hardly start to develop before harvest,...
 
Thanks for the quick replies @ Waira and @ Renaissance Redneck. Here are the pics that I marked

I hope you guys now see what I mean. I assume that its not normal that a calyx opens because they usually stay closed, is this correct? It might not be a nanner but rather a seed developing, but strange that only the very top of the main bud is affected (brown pistils surrounding the strange-looking calyx) on only one plant. I assume its not possible that a seed develops alone due to stress without the development of nanners and being self polinated.
I just think its very strange and hope you guys can once again help me out :toke:

Many thanks in advance!
 
..yeah, that's the spot I was looking at too, but the top shot can be deceiving,... calyxes can do some odd things sometimes,..stack and wrap around each other, and the pistils can get mooshed and bound up against each other, making them look kinda like a 'nanner bunch, but the color still will be like immature hairs-- nanners are yellow,....the side shot is no help because of the LED color detail loss-- I'm not sure if I do or don't see hairs coming out of it? :dizzy::rofl:....pistils would mean it's fine,... Is it just sitting open like a envelope of sorts, or is it plump and solid? ..that would be a seed forming if so,... nanners can be plucked out with tweezers, if needs be! :amazon:.... they can form from genetic tendencies too, besides the other usual stressors,... that has ended many a strain lineage! Of course, there's always the remote possibility of stray pollen from elsewhere :eek1: LOL!

Yes Waira not only the picture is tricky to look at but it's also very tricky for me to identify what that strange-looking thing inside the calyx really is...I think it's solid but im not sure. I know that the led light in the picture makes the diagnose even more difficult but my camera was just not able to focus on the spot when I turned the led off. So the close up from the side only worked with the led on. Anyway, I will try to inspect this mystery further and if I discover something new I will get back to you mate.

Many thanks for the info!!!
 
I dont see nanners on the pic. However fun fact #33 lol, the Pistils (Hairs) are used in nature to grab pollen
