Im in week 7 of flower and I noticed last week a bottom branch that I forgot to lollipop looked like it was growing a bunch of seed pods instead of bud but the cola bud of the branch had many pistils and was growin into a bud. I decided to chop off the seed pod branch and keep the plant. I've been playing close attention to it and I notice more little seed pods forming on some of the bottom buds that aren't really getting light/density but none on the top juicy buds, I cut one off and opened them up they were empty no seeds or pollen inside. I haven't found any bananas or the male stamen. Looked at plenty of photos of hermies online and it doesn't look similiar. Never dealt with a possible hermie. What do you guys think? Here is some pics
Hermie or calyxes?

looks like buds to me. at 7 weeks no matter anyways, you're plants likely finishing now.
I'd stop removing plant parts if I were you

Those are buds on that branch. I think what your describing is what would've become the seed, it is the seed pod, or calyx, without a seed. Hard to say from that pic though.
On another forum people are telling me it's a hermie for sure. I mean I first noticed it 3 weeks ago and still no problems with my other plants. I just removed all the parts that were like that. I'm so confused. It definitely looks like seed pods growing on the bottom of the branch it didn't even have any white hairs coming out of it!
So you don't think it's possibly a hermie? I feel nervous risking my whole crop lol

Need better pictures plant looks no where near 7 weeks. Do they feel like they have seeds in them, so they have seeds in them? Most likely under developed buds.
I'll upload pics right now but I pulled off some buds that had them and opened the little pods didn't find any premature seeds or pollen
Here is a pic

dude, if it were making seeds already the damage is done. your whole crop??? it doesnt even matter if this one is a hermie or not, and its not btw, because the pollen has been spread by now, every thing in contact has been fertilized and theres nothing you can do about it. relax, enjoy your buds geesh
believe it or not there are many on this forum and others who do not wish you to succeed. Grow books lies are much less destructive than internet advice often. heres a couple http://catnews.org/FREE Pot Books/
So in these pics there just calyxes? I literally just took them this second. Sorry I'm so paranoid this is my second run and I fucked up my first run with cold temps and PM so far everything on my 2nd run is looking amazing except for this possible issue lol

If you don't find any stamens just chill. Hell I have a plant going right now that is pushing out occasional bananas, I'm not even worried about it. I just check the whole plant thoroughly every couple days and pluck any I see trying to grow. No sign of any fertilization yet at all, and there's only like 12 days left on most of the plants, anyway.
