Purplish newer growth at top of, and scattered throughout several colas. I'm concerned they could be pollen sacks, so I'm trying to figure out whether its hermied, or just swelling buds. I plucked a few off and opened them up - didn't find any obvious pollen inside, just hollow sacks that may very well be normal calyxes. Not sure. Trying to determine whether to keep on going, or if I should cut my losses and harvest asap?
Has it Hermied?

Theres a name for them that eludes me, someone on here will know. I didnt see any nanners. Eyes not great but would give more time before doing anything rash.

She looks like shes hurting, they can be very forgiving. Might suprise you.

Do you check ph?
Yes, daily.
It's my first 5 gal DWC and I switched up my feed schedule to heavier regimen right around the time I flipped to flower at the start of June... Clearly a mistake. Pulled back to light weekly water/nute changes after 2 weeks of that but the damage was already done.
Daily checks/adjustments to keep it b/w 5.8 - 6.2. As of last night I have her in clean water pH to 5.8
I'll take some more comprehensive pics and upload shortly

I raised my nutes to around 1500 ppm after a month in 12x12, was about half before that. Shes in 15gal cloth pot in 4x4 under 600w. Shes big girl so think she can handle it. Same plant as my profile pic but further along. Hand water daily, try to get no runoff but drips out sides a bit. Humidity is high this time of year in my area.

I would pick on of those calix pods and open one up to see if there is a seed inside ... I have the same this growing right now they where bagseed and they are Hermie and no nanners...
Edit I'm pretty sure there is a name for it the nanners pop up when the plant is stressed and it turns hermie but I think these just genetically are Hermie

Rodelization
I tried and a bunch and all I checked were totally empty. No pollen, no seed, soft shell only. It was a freebie from seedsman. They were supposedly, lol, "Banana Kush OG, auto/fem..." I popped 2 in total. The first one was very male so discarded early on... This surviving sibling does not appear to be auto bc I had to switch to 12/12 to start flowering after 10 weeks in veg, and her brother, clearly was a male from early on.

Here is a example I just plucked one out

What was inside?

That's a seeded calyx. Rodelization can occur through multiple stressors. Light, damage, drought, and age can increase the likelihood of rodelization. When she rodelizes she will produce stamen (nanners). These are not genetic herming. If caused by genetics the plant will have calyx and pollen pods, rodelization, just nanners. Rodelization is selfing in nature. The plant is stressed to the point survival comes into question and the plant will fo what she needs to in order to continue her genetic line.

So it's past due to harvest?
