Are these swollen calyxes?

These "things" appeared on one third of the buds. I dont know if they are calyxes or i am in trouble.

Would appreciate your help.
Burn it

Edit; looks herm. Better up close photos without those lights on would help but unless you won’t no smoke and a million herm seeds, refer to thee above.

There was a light leak i thought did no harm. I can fix it but im in week 4 of flowering. Should i kill it or fix the leak?

Edit: there was a day were the light leak was "heavier", was it enough to cause that?

It’s too late for that plant my friend. Fix the light leak and kill that plant. I’ve grown several Hermies out. But the Hermies I’ve grown might have 5 or 10 pollen sacs on the whole plant that I easily removed. You couldn’t successfully get all that off.

Yes, sorry for the pics, was in a hurry and my phone camera takes me time to take good pictures. I will update in a few hours with new pics, when lights turn on.

In the meantime i have a question about those "things": i would say that they appeared, i've never seen the bananas popping out and forming onto that. I don't know how the process would be: should bananas have popped out first and the turn into that "balls"?

Went to a grow shop and the owner told me to take a good lock on the branches where the plant shows it's sex. Will do it when lights are on. Don't know what to understand with that although. Let's say i see no male organs: does that mean the plant is ok?

Well, my camera is as bad as me for taking pictures.
So another set of not still best photos. Will get another camera and provide you with better pics.

I didnt see any male organs while inspecting the plant, and the white thing looks more like something "meaty", but im not experienced and may be seeing just what i want to see.

Only on some of the top buds.

I have a question:
In order to become hermie, the plan does first produce male organs aka pollen sacks, that open and self polinate the plant?
Or hermie buds can appear without the prior apparition of male organs at the nodes that then open and polinate itself?

Yeah basically the buds form then due to various stresses or genetics (bad luck) it flips out and grows pollen sacks to seed itself.

Clever plant.

So if i didn't find any male organ/pollen sack that could auto polinate the plant, options lean towards light bleach, right?
And, as you said, the problem is on top of the buds...my first guess is that an open pollen sack would also hit lower buds.

Anyway, today i'll try to get a good phone/camera and decent pics.
