Anyone know what this is ?

[BrucieBuds]

Hi very new grower have had a couple of successful grows, noticed these on my

Auto cheese XL

 

[BrucieBuds]

I mean ofc I was concerned it's a male but it has pistils so yeah not sure ?..

It will fill that in just fine. Sometimes instead of a steady growth of smaller ones you get a pair and it always seems to be a pair that swell before the rest of them. Should soon be buried unless flowering stalls for some reason.

Haha I want you to know you aren't the first grower to freak out and mistake swollen calyxes for a male...guilty as charged!

Thats a sign the plants hormones are raging as it's moving into flower. I've had them show up on vegging photos and in that instance it's supposed to be a sign of hormonal stress. And things got really interesting when I had a front row seat watching a vegging cannabis plant develop seeds in the node calyxes. Wasnt a completely natural occurrence though, they were monstered clones and there were hormone issues flipping them around.

They also fatten up when they get seeded. Classic sign a calyx has a seed in it is it starts to turn brown like it just got out of the toaster. You're good but keep a close eye out for things that don't look like teardrops, appear more round or looking like a cauliflower cluster because it's at a higher risk of herming when the hormones are raging.

Yeah I was referring to the small pods I haven't grown this strain before , still learning ofc I just freaked a little and thought it was a male

 

[amneziaHaze]

I mean the main flower looks like that its just 60 in one place

 

[ChairmanFester]

I've seen them all on top, and mixed with some "flower" and, spread like little grapes, but I've never seen an all female flower present and spread pollen.

 

[ChairmanFester]

I looked it up and "false flowers" are auxin/gibberlin signal expressions from stress or the plant attempting to attract pollinators (interesting).

TRue Dat. Swollen calyxes

Dude I keep misusing terms and I was surprised to learn the calyx is a hymen in a bract and a bract is what I was calling calyx. So those you'd have to pry open the flower bracts with magnification to see.
Tomorrow I'll do it again too watch lol.
