Are these pollen sacks growing?

Mk89 · Aug 20, 2019

Hi guys,

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?

ganga gurl420 · Aug 20, 2019

Well other ones will regrow for sure. Taking off one or two wont change the size noticeably

Sweet I’ll make sure I won’t go pulling anything else off and will leave it alone haha. Thanks a lot for your help.

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?

Therrion · Aug 20, 2019

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.

Beantown_greentown · Aug 20, 2019

Is that a clone because clones are known to grow calyxes like that with no hairs at first.

Beantown_greentown · Aug 20, 2019

Here’s a clone. One hundred percent female they’re old calyxes left from when I took cuttings . Calyxes are the female flower and stacks and stacks of calyxes make up the buds.

Beantown_greentown · Aug 20, 2019

Sorry just saw your reply. But yeah that’s a calyx. Don’t sweat it.

Yeah in future try not to touch the pistils/calyxes but there normal n female

CanadianJim · Aug 20, 2019

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

Mk89 · Aug 21, 2019

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.

Beantown_greentown · Aug 23, 2019

Hey buddy keep us pistiled brother I mean posted.

Mk89 · Sep 15, 2019

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 to

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.
