weird...typically they get banana shaped growths.....but that looks like pods right in the bud...I never seen this before

...maybe pick one off and see if it has pollen in it

edit...agree, likely not male pods

Yeah, not seeing any bananas in that pic. Looks good. If that is your only plant, even if it did hermi, i would finish out (Looks like you have 2-3 weeksish left)

Hermaphrodites late in flower usually take the form of little yellow bananas in amongst the buds. The balls are usually when you have a full hermie, rather than a female with a few male flowers - full hermies show both sexes right from the start of flowering, male flowers under the node and female raising up from it. Kosher kush from Reserva Privada is a good example of a full hermie plant.

I wouldn't worry about your grow. The first person to reply hit the nail on the head I believe. The calxy's are swollen, and that may be confusing you. Or they may have one or two seeds in them from somewhere. Just keep on doing what you're doing and see how it all ends up at harvest. :-)

Unless you're using chemical nutes I wouldn't recommend flushing now. That girl has 2/3 more weeks (ish) to go, and will need some nutes for at least another week. She looks great btw, nicely done.

Thanks guys,
Great advice. I have to confess something, I took a nip from one of the lower buds, dried it nice n slow and sampled it earlier lol :clap: It was pretty damn fine and after zoning out listening to Pink Floyd for an hour or so (difficult to tell) I have a nice feeling that everything will be fine :-P.
i was on chemical nutes (i mean my girl was lol )and thought the flush would be ok for the next 2 weeks. Maybe I should pop some more in during her next water??
Suggestions welcome :leaf:

cheers

Ha ha, I do not feel that is a confession that requires penance. I think most people do the same, I certainly did on my first grow. Really glad you enjoyed it.

I've not had experience with chemical nutes. So my semi noob advice would be to just give them water from here on in. If you've flushed once you should have got rid of salt build ups.

Just noticed it's from Pyramid seeds. I grew their non auto strain 'Shark'. Was an easy to grow strain, but I was a little disappointed in quality. Would be interested to hear your thoughts on the finished herb on your grow. If you're committed to autos, I had good results with the Greenhouse super critical auto and the Lowryder Easy Ryder.

Can I ask why you chose autos? I did as I couldn't have a proper dark area. I prefer photo period strains now that I do, except for outdoors. :-)

Well, I chose autos coz it would be fast and easy lol. Got the feminized seeds too for even easier easiness.
if last nights sample was anything to go by I'm thinking this Anubus is going to be great lol.
took a while getting up this morning though.
Thanks for the recommendations I might try a non-auto next, as my cupboards will be stocked up.
I planted an auto anesthesia from pyramid about a week after in one of those peat pots. Bad move! The plant is a lot smaller and doesn't look like ill get that much from it. I also think I gave her flowering nutes too soon. All part of the learning curve llol so what nutes are the best to use coz I felt I was bumbling about a bit with them.
