Hey, considering this my first grow as I'm trying to understand what I'm doing.

This is week 3.5 of flowering stage.

Would this be a Hermie or Fat Calyx?

- They might seem flat on pic, but they're a bit unperfect oval shaped
- Nothing to be seen IN flower (hidden pollen banana form thingies)
- They DO have some trichomes on them though.
- The ovals don't have tiny stem before them directly in plant it looks like

Those are usally the ones that show first show signs of pollination aswell.. if your plant is polinated without you knowing and harvest approaches you can see fat little dark seeds inside those calyxes

Oh so I should be more careful and really keep watch then I would assume.

Would a test be plucking one of these off and opening to see if there are any ''former'' black seeds?

Id keep them as is they will swell well if any seeds are present, it definitely not a nut sackso plucking them off and slicing them open would just eliminate them, they are pretty useless come harvest but as i said are usually the first tell tell sign of pollinated bud as its a bit harder to find seeds in a bud as apoded to the side of a node

For years while I was doing the guerrilla thing we actually liked it if those got pollinated . Those were the best seeds for the next years crop . Most fell off on the drying racks and we'd do a check while manicuring for the rest .

I don't see anything in this plant that remotely says 'hermie.'
Imho
