Female, hermie or just a weird mutation!?

[Marc5000]

Hi guys, here's some background info for the grow. I really appreciate the help!

I've been growing some feminized Bergman's Gold Leaf and have kept temps at 65-70 lights off and 75-80 lights on throughout my grow. It's a RDWC setup with well maintained pH and nutes. It was also set up as scrog with a long veg to fill the net and we're now 4 months in and the grow is probably a couple weeks to harvest. All my other plants look fantastic but this one is super weird. I've always gotten feminized seeds so I've never really had to identify males from females and my females have never hermied before so this is a first for me if that's what this is. I did a lot of searching but haven't seen anything like this. Here it is:



Just to show you what another healthy plant looks like for comparison sake:



Should I yank that abomination out or let it go it's course to harvest? I'm borderline panicking that it's going to open up and the fans will blow it everywhere and pollinate everything. I plan to yank it but want some sort of confirmation before I destroy a possibly viable plant.

Thanks!

Where are the offending parts? Maybe someone with a sharper eye could clear this up. Looks good to me

 

[Dontjudgeme]

I don’t see anything wrong

The plant in the first 3 pics looks extremely different, kinda like the bud is all sacks.. but not really.. reminds me of flowers that haven't opened yet. Is there anything I can do to confirm it's ok? Like chop a piece off and dissect it?

You could. Just look like large calyx to me. May be nanners but really doesnt look like it

Why worry at this point? All look far enough into flower to just finish them and see. I've had some complete different phenos from the same batch of seeds

Hey I’m only a novice grower... I truly feel that’s a female with some good nuggs!! I had a few herms a while back and if they would have been this pretty I wouldn’t have been so worried before harvest!! Looks good keep it up!!!

Swollen calyx ... with some mutation , no biggie. Cannabis can flower in many different shapes and sizes. Comparing it to other plants will not make a difference.

Flower form based on genetics in strain .

Wait til you grow a high leaf to calyx strain .... then you will see some obvious differences in bud.

Thank you everyone for all your helpful answers! I feel a ton better about this. Very glad I asked before yanking miss demented. Hope she produces more trichomes cause the rest are far ahead in production.

How about you harvest.

How about you harvest.

Still a couple weeks out for one of the plants which have matured more than the others, I haven't seen amber yet in the trichomes but they're definitely milking up nicely in those super long trichomes.


Hard to tell in picture but I've got a 30/60x jeweler's loupe which I can see clearly.

Looks to be all clear, at least from the picture. You’re on the right track in terms of timing, could be longer. These girls leave us guessing all the time.

Yeah haha I've been saying a couple weeks for a couple weeks now .. maybe another 2-3 weeks for the most mature one and a month or more for the rest.

Thankfully I built in a flow lever on each bucket so I can stop flow for an individual plant and switch it to plain water for flushing. Just need to block off the return and throw an air stone in there. No air pump necessary normally since I have a 2600gph water pump which has water jetting down into the buckets. I've seen people call it waterfall RDWC.

Good you have a plan of action ahead of time. Keep us updated.

pluck a few of your biggest calyx's and check for seeds

Will do!

That's nugs stacking: its good stuff.

Update: I cut a chunk off and pulled it apart, it was all leafy inside and not nearly as sticky as I expected it to be. But good news is that it's not pollen.
