I hate to say this bro and I could be wrong but I think it's hermied.

I've not seen one first hand which is why I'm not 100% but I have see. A male plant in full flower and it doesn't look dissimilar to your to p bud.

Maybe someone with experience of hermies will know more.

As buds ripen (and/or as they are pollinated) the pistils will recede into the calyxes and the calyxes will swell, totally normal for the end of flower. As for hermie, I don't see anything hermie about it. At this stage of flower male flowers would also have bloomed and would look like little clusters of bananas, and I don't see any nanners, so I think you're in the clear there.

Calyxes are swelling up, however, I still see plenty of thick white pistils indicating she's not ripe yet bro.

Don't see anything that looks "hermi-ish", and that sure as fuck isn't a male plant.

Best of luck to you.

It might have hermed on you if all the other psitils are still white and this small section of the pants pistils have turned orange receded and now the ovaries are swelling thats telling of maybe a herm. YOU MUST remember how far a long you are in flower this is a Huge NO-NO. next time just write it down, take a photo with your sell do something. Now you should check your trich's with a microscope to see if your close.

Why must you remember how long into flower you are? As long as you pay attention to the plant and check the trichs on a regular basis its not like you're gonna miss it becoming ready to chop. The trichomes are the trichomes, if they say it's ready it's ready no matter if you remember the days or not, right?

Never seen hairs recede before though but it was purely a guess.

Because if you take clones and give them to a buddy and he ask how long to take them it suck to say just check the trichs. Its a lot better when i can tell you this plant take between takes 63 to 68 days. especially when your running a lot of different strains it helps plan scheduling out. Scheduling is probably the biggest thing i personally don't want plants that are going to go more than 80 day. No Thanks buddy. Scheduling Scheduling Scheduling.

I guess I just have a different mentality, but also I'm growin' outdoors so everything just goes with the seasons, so no precise count from a 12/12 flip anyhow. But also, there is a difference between not knowing how long a strain takes and not knowing exactly how long your plant has been in flower, assuming you are using stable genetics, and if you aren't using stable genetics it will be a crapshoot on finish time anyways. I'm just sayin', if you know what to look for and how to check, it's not going to hurt your grow if you forget if its been 6 weeks or 7 weeks, you obviously gonna know roughly how long it's been unless you come down with amnesia or a concussion. If weed couldn't be grown by forgetful people, it couldn't be grown by anyone who uses it :bigjoint:

I still think it's either a hermie or pollenated. I've never seen a plant ready for harvest because it had no hairs ? Red hairs yes. No hairs ???? I'll bet you the seeds it produces ?? Lol

I think you guys need to re-adjust your monitors. You can clearly see the red hairs in his pictures, they have receded but they are still there. Also, if it hermied, it wouldn't make sense for the tops to have been pollinated, I've seen plants hermie and pollen drops DOWN, so unless there was a windstorm, or he tipped the plants upside down, the lower buds would have been the ones most likely to be pollinated, not the very tops. Plus, you would DEFINITELY see the male flowers. They are bright yellow and they look exactly like tiny clumps of bananas, they stick out like a sore thumb.

Monitor adjusted. Those pics are a bit clearer. Looks like they have just died back. Looked like swelling on the earlier pics
