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.

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.

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

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.
