this "cali gold" started flowering 4 days ago and there's a few of these "pods" with white hairs shooting out of it... i'm not experienced enough if it's a "calyx" or a, "male pod".
there's half of me wanting to believe it's a swollen-preflower, because there are white pistils sticking out of it... then the other half, when it comes to hermies (since hermies are both male and female) i can't tell if it's a male-ball with female-pistils coming out of it... is that how hermies look like?
thanks again for everyone's contributions... i'm really anxious about this outdoor grow i have going on and nothing will eat me up more inside then knowing three of my dank clones get pollinated!
i mean, sure -- i'll get a ga-zillion seeds -- but it won't change the fact the outdoor season will be over!
I think its a chick. BUt the pics are not the best. hard to make out the details. But the one post looks like preflowers to me.
If in doubt, wait a bit & see what happens. Make sure you get rid of him (if it is a him) before the pollen escapes. But that doesnt happen in 10 minutes, so I think I would wait & keep an eye on it & see what happens.
good luck to you though.
I thought mine went male when I saw these, but turn out I was wrong. Freaked me out though.
preflowers change shape and color as they age, regardless of whether or not they have been pollinated... anyway, even if it was a hermie, the white hairs dont come outta the male parts
I have the same delema, i see pods in the nodes but has white hairs. Freaking the shit out of me. I'll tkae pics and maybe someone can tell me whats going on
