Please help- calyx, pollen sac, or seed?

[Hunttuxcat]

Grown from feminized seed. About 6 weeks into 8 week flower. Have a bunch of these on a couple of my outdoor indicas. Same plant also has close to a lb of bud on it, not quite ripe.

Definitely don’t look like bananas. I check a few, and no seeds inside, but they don’t look like regular calyx to me. Can someone confirm what I have please?

Better to cut and harvest early, or let it go for another week or two?

Thanks

They look like pollinated calyx to me. Check them and see if they have forming seeds.

They seem to be soft and empty. Nothing inside them

I've seen single female flowers like that before, nothing to worry about IME.

You can see pistils in the bottom of photo.

Just s swollen calyx.. Mush one between your fingers and make sure it's not pollinated

Preflowers mature and swell before the rest.

Everything is normal and absolutely fine.

 

[troutman]

Let me guess. You haven't grown before.

Those are calyxes swelling up like others have said.

Grown a few outdoor each year for last 14 years. Never seen this kind of swelling. Also never had anything go as big as this year. Feeling very relieved though- thanks!

Here is another that is just about ready. I mixed up my seedlings, so don’t know for sure what strain it is, but think it may be my sour diesel.

If you luck out you might find a seed inside a few of them. If you got lazy in July or early August before the females begin flowering sometimes a bit of male pollen will get loose and knock up a few preflowers. Which looks like that once they ripen.

This happens to me because sometimes I'll leave my choice male in the garden until the last minute before he pops. That way when I dig him up and abuse him while separating him from the females I know I'll get pollen even if he keels over.

As long as you didn't have a hermaphrodite or a shitty male you wouldn't ever breed with in which case you can chuck the seed.

The size of these calyxes should give you an indication as to how large they have the potential to get upon final ripening.

The picture you showed is a male plant which means you won't have to pay the seed seller.

If you were hoping for sinsemilla that ship may have sailed.

No, it's clearly a female. Those extra large preflower calyxes can be an early treat to smoke as they tend to ripen before the buds do. I had a nice pipeful of some landrace indica calyxes this morning in fact.

Just wait dude. All looks good. You can pull off any big preflowers to examine them. If the hair is still white in the preflower it is not pollinated. Looks all good but you can check if you are paranoid.

But it's fine and you are not pollinated because you would see those buds with white hairs turning red early. You got quite a wait still. Stay patient.
