I am a first time grower and have been reading about hermy plants and think I may have one I started the seed off outside and after 2 weeks put it under led lights. It died off after 2 weeks under lights i think because I didn’t have any nutrients to give it then I bought house and garden soil a+b roots excelerator, amino and multizyme and brought it back to life. I am growing under 600w green fingers full spectrum LED and is 8 weeks into veg. It has small sacks and one of them is slightly open with a brown fuzzy hair coming out what are these? I found the seed in some bud I got and it has just been topped for the 2nd time, pruned all the bottom off and is 42cms high in a 1.6x.8 tent.

Hope this isn’t too much information I’m Very new to this so any help would be appreciated.

That is the calyx. Pistils come out of it. No not a pollen sac.
Shit I think your right they had a long white thing inside of them I pulled a couple off today because they looked big and swollen didn’t want to take the risk if they pop and ruin the plant. Will pulling 2 of them off stress the plant or do anything bad?

Well...no. but that is actually what your buds are made up of. Lots and lots of calyx. It's a girl for sure..
Just let her do her thing

Thanks for the good news haha it was stressing me out for a while I thought it might have gone hermy from stress it went through in the early days. Will those calyx’s regrow when I start flowering in a few days or will I get less bud because I pulled them off?

Haha no microscope used just a iPhone 8 camera zoom. The pictures make the plant look a lot better than it does to the human eye. Thanks mate

Looks to me like a stipule the little spikes right where the clalyxes grow. Is that a clone. ?
Nah this plant grew from seed but I have 4 clones from it growing in the background. Are stipules good to have on the plant? And would I have done any damage pulling a couple off?

stipules will have 2 small hairs shoot out of them, that's how you know it's female. Males have pollen sacs and usually appear before stipules do.

Don't be pulling anything but nanners or bugs off your plants. Randomly plucking unidentified things is a bad idea. Leave the stipules.

Thanks to everyone for all the comments and advice I am now confident it’s a female and won’t pull anything off In future unless it’s bugs which I don’t have many at the moment just a few gnats.

Here’s an update for everyone.

End of week 3 flowering today tomorrow will be day 22 and things are progressing each day. Not sure if this is a problem or not but my main middle cola is starting to show 8 to588A8432-374A-4765-94D9-DE049426C4F0.jpeg F853C627-C849-44BC-9DFC-B5377AA21CBD.jpeg DD00A226-6A25-4B57-ABCC-B42F0E3AD441.jpeg 45C422DE-DF2F-472B-B461-AD369D89A563.jpeg 35A6CD59-205D-4911-8DB5-DBF80CDF9FEF.jpeg 8EC22604-0D21-4507-9304-D63432B6F702.jpeg 0761C3FE-AC0B-49A6-894D-D54462CF701E.jpeg 10 orange pistols instead of all white like the other colas, i have added a photo. Apart from that everything is going pretty well and haven’t had any issues. How important is a fan in the tent? Because I don’t have any sort of fan or air circulation in there and haven’t had any since day 1 but if it’s needed for a good end result I’ll get something this week.

Enjoy the photos.
