Male Flowers, swollen calyxes, and seeds? oh my!?

I think I have been getting a little carried away with my new USB scope......guess I shouldn't look so close if I can't handle the truth lol. Anyways I got the scope for work and decided to use it to check some trics. And what do I find but a few small nanners hiding out amongst some nice fat calyxes. I also spotted some unidentified pods and am curious what others think they are....


Here is a classic late flow single nanner that appeared in week 8. One of the "pods" i'm talking about is visible in the lower right of the photo. Now this nanner has not opened yet as far as I can tell but when I removed it to check there was pollen present so it was not sterile. So is that pod a more developed male flower forming, a swollen calyx about to spit out white pistils, or an already pollinated calyx with pistils that have receded and started to form a seed?



Then I find more of these "pods". They are found in clusters, almost appearing as multiple pods in a single calyx.

At first I thought these were possible very immature male flowers starting to form but then I see this one.....

So this pod obviously has a small red pistil coming out of the top. So did the pistils get pollinated and already shrivel back into the calyx and start forming a seed?


Here is another close up of one of these pods....I think the depression on the end is where the pistils once emerged and its now closed likely due to pollination...

now maybe these are different pod formations entirely but on the same bud I also found these that look like obvious immature seeds starting to form....

I am going to let this plant finish but this cut will never be flowered out in my garden again. I am not foreign to seeing a random manner very late in flower on some of the more elite strains I have but this odd flower formation and either abundance of male flowers sprouting up or potent self pollination resulting in young seedlings is not a keeper in my book....Funny part is in the old days without the scope I would not even have noticed these features until final trimming unless it really started to seed stuff out...technology lol.


So what do you think these pods are? Mutant shemale flowers, swollen calyxes, or very immature seeds forming, or all of the above!?

is a selfpollinated ermafrodite , the seeds will produce ermafrodite plants

Peace BH

not necessarily, but there is a decent chance that many will

Wookie- what did they turn out to be?

 

[/sunglasses]

they're immature seeds developing.

Ok. That's what I thought.

Does small almost seed looking pods ever happen? I am having issues and hoping for the best...

I think I know the answer.
