Are those HERMIES?

[thebrother1119]

Hi!

This is my second crop and I am growing 6 plants under 900w led and 400w led, 3 big buds and 3 white widows all are cloned from plants which i grew from feminized seeds.

I trimmed some larger fan leaves(maybe 10% of leaf mass) about a week ago to uncover bud sites.

I am into 6 weeks of flowering and I noticed something weird is going on with my buds, I suspect 2 of my plants have turned into hermies due to trimming and light stress, because the weird stuff is going on with the buds close to the 900w led.

Pics:

Are these hermies? If so, what should i do next? I have not noticed these things on 4 other plants which are not so close to the 900w led.

I've seen my fair share of hermies but I've never seen one like that if it is. It looks like a testicle but it's in a strange place. Mostly when I've had herms the balls have grown at the nodes or 1 or 2 times they come out of the sides of the buds. Have you seen anything suspicious sticking out anywhere else? I couldn't say if it was 100% hermied. It sort of looks like a rose bud before it opens.

It looks like a swollen, or possibly seeded purple calyx to me. Are there any pistils, or were there any, coming out of the top of the growth? You could always pick one and dissect it if you're worried. Hermaphrodites typically show up as yellow "bananas" on your buds late in flower. I have had full blown hermaphrodites however, and they have shown both sex organs between multiple branches on the plant in early flower. Are you running co2? The first time I used it, I thought everything in my room was seeded, but the calyxes were just swollen lol Good luck finding out what it is! I hope it's nothing too serious

Seed casing? Pick it off if you're worried. Just on one bud? Nanners are usually yellow/green, but I have no experience with LED.

I haven't, only on the top of the bud.

No pistils coming out of the weird thing if you meant that. Not running CO2.

Don't know if it is seed casing. Similar stuff on about 10 buds which get quite a lot of light.

If you want nanners, stop gazing and start pushing whew!
