Are these balls? Some pollination going on

Yep so one plant got dark hair very early and has seeds forming, a few others have been lightly pollinated too now. I pulled the first plant to go dark haired out and sprayed everything down with water. I looked through her and could not find anything that looked like balls or bananas but she was then first one to go dark and by far compared to the others that are slightly going now so I'm assuming she was the plant that hermied? But I looked another lightly pollinated plant and are these the balls /pollen sacks people talk about?

Thanks!

Nope, looks like a normal female to me.
Hey thanks. So those little round things where the branches are coming off the stem are female? The balls would be bunches of sacks yes? Do you think the first plant by far who's pistols turned dark would be the hermie?

Yes.
But pollination is not the only reason pistols will brown.
Why is it dripping wet?
I had just sprayed everything down with water to stop any futher pollination.

Yes I know about the pistols going dark for other reasons which is why I didnt pay enough attention early on, I noticed it right away but i didn't think there was any reason for a critical mass seed in good growing conditions to be going hermie and all the other plants seemed OK so I left it but, now there's definitely early seeds on that plant and a few others but the pistols were dark on her first by a long margin so that's the hermie yes? I couldn't find anything on her tho.

Fair enough.

Water can brown your pistols.

So can bugs, which it looks like you might have.

You also seem to have a nutrient issue looking at the burnt tips and clawing.

Have you seen any bananas ?

Edit, on closer inspection what I'm seeing may be just reflecting water and not bug damage

Thanks very much yeah I was looking at pics but creaking out a bit as I wanted to remove who ever was doing this and those things gs I showed I the photos even though only one and not in groups like those pics, were the ones I could find to looking g like that. The plant that had dark pistols first I couldn't see anything on her but it taken her out anyhow as it must be her.

The clawing is from the fan, yes a tiny bit of nute burn a while ago might have even been in veg, my ec is about 1400 at week 5. The water was only once in that photo after seeing seeds forming so pollination for sure, the rh is good not too wet in there. No didn't see any bananas.

Its from the fan its not N toxicity it's getting flowering nutes at an ec of around 1400 at week 5 so low N
How could it be N toxicity in those conditions? There hardly any N in the feed as its flowering nutes at its only at 1400 in week 5. I can't arrange the plants in relation to the fan in any other way its cramped. She's the plant in the photos so to me she's the only one even a little bit stressed but then other ones pistols went dark first by like a week I'd say.

Your fan won't create a claw like that. That's classic N clawing. Here's an article on it.

1400 on what scale?

Because on one scale that's 2.8ec which is twice as much as needed. On the other scale it's still 2.2 ec

What's your temperature like in there?

there's a few differnt strains in the tent that one is the only one showing that at all and it's near the fan, and an ec of 1400 of flower nutes in week 5 is very low N so wouldn't that would be strange to be toxicity?
