Hi all. I have a few "Medi-juana" strain plants, been in veg under a 1000w HPS 24/0 for about 2 or 3 weeks since I received as clones. They were definitely females when I received them, white pistils all over.

I've got these lumps forming on all 3, are these calyxes forming or are they (gasp) turning hermi? They were stressed a little over a week ago, before I got a fan in there temps were 90+. (Temps are at a solid 78*F now)

They are hard to see what the hell they are, discribe for us. Do they look like little bells growing up a small shaft or stem, are they associated or growing out of what looks like a football with little white hairs, see hermi doesn't turn hermi, It "is" hermi. When stressed those plants with hermi genetics display the hermi condition, I've grown hermi weed without It ever displaying the hermi condition ever, Alot has to do with how much stress a hermi plant has to endure. Through carefull cultivation you can stablelize these strains. This is very advanced botony for a beginer. Looks thoe, like they did overdose at one time or another through your veg, (note the tallons).
Just keep an eye on them if they all do it...WEll ya got what ya got, bloom them, smoke them, and enjoy, ya might have a few beans, but gained a bit of experience. No grow is a total loss becuse of what we learn!

Wow, thanks for the very detailed reply! Yeah good observation on the OD, I had some mad nutrient burn on last weeks feeding (I've since picked up a pH pen and a TDS meter, plant's couldn't be more happy now). Are talons formed from an OD or are they just damaged pistils?

From what I can recall (I'm not at the grow area currently) they're a half-football shaped object coming from were pistils coming out between the petiole and the stem. It looks like very similar to the female depiction of this picture.

Keep in mind that for picture diagnosis, you see the plant daily, so will see things in yur photos that we don't. Clear crisp pictures are needed when asking about pics. Something looks odd in the first picture of the second set. Again though could be camera trickery.

Pictures a little blurry but they dont look like nuts to me. Those look like a little cluster of bananas right under the bud.
