Start of a hermie or fox tailing?? Please help

Hello, i am in week 5/6 of flower and am a few weeks from the chop. Noticed my buds looking a little different from friday when i had a good look over them. Can anyone please tell me if this is starting to hermie , fox tail or just general swelling... its a girl scout cookies taken from a cut, of which the weed turned out perfect. Any info appreciated! Peace

Check out ur 1st pic.. that's def foxtailing.. but take a closer look...

Go from the tip of the top of the bud and look down and to the left when zoomed in.. is that a seed? with an amber pistil growin out of it?

inspect ur plant. Look in between the leaves in the buds.. check for seed pods growing from the stem.

Good eye! I think it’s a trick of the light/angle but,OP should take a closer look in person.

I am running a 600hps through a digital ballast however had it running at 660. I have had the light about 2ft away from the tips. Its summer here to i run my lights from 6pm to 6am to avoid the heat of the day and run my exhaust out of the chimney running through the room. I havent got an exact reading for temp and humidity how ever just from opening the tent it doesn't feel as if theres anything drastic with the environment in general. Any tips on what to do? Ive turned the ballast down to 600 and raised the light. Its only come up within a few days so have caught it early

Bloody good spot! I’ll go have a proper inspection and now Post a few more photos of the bud

Had a closer look and pulled that piece off to have a look see. Didnt reveal a seed.. I’ll be keeping my eyes closely pealed on it. Not quite at the finish line yet

Haha cheers mate. Lets hope she pulls through

Hey guys i raised the light to the top and dropped my ballast to 600. As theres only a few weeks left of this plant would you recommend dropping the ballast to 400? As in an outdoor cycle the light intensity would be dropping toward the end of the season anyway. Just wondering if that could help with my fox tailing.
