Sooooo I'm typically one to over react. First time growing and everything, at first, seems like a red alarm that gives me a mini panic attack... Two pictures attached... The tear drop looking thing under those sugar leaves...? Is that just a swollen calyx or something I should be concerned about? 4th week of flower just wrapped up and the plant is really progressing nicely. I have done little that could have stressed and room is pitch black with plenty of ventilation for 12 off... School me please!!!

I feel nothing to worry about, those are a very common occurance.

4 tiny pollen sacks ruined this plant and 3 others... really keep an eye and check routinely for pollen sacks and nanners ... are you using bag seed or ordered seeds? feminized are a great option and midweeksong is a fabolous source for ordering them
