Do not see any hermies.
Am I wrong in thinking these thick pistils are "nanners"? Or am I the victim of misinformation? Are they just thick pistils? I am including a closer shot and arrow.
Sometimes at the end of flowering, some strains will foxtail a little. To me, this looks like the very beginning of a foxtail as the tips of the buds get longer but not much wider, and sometimes I get a small greenish "horn" that grows out of the end. I think this is the road you are starting on. Keep an eye on the buds to see if they start looking funny at the ends. It doen't really hurt anything, but are not something that a lot of growers have seen.
The more I look at your pictures, the more I think that this is the beginnings of foxtailing. It is simply a different way that the bud grows. The new growth stacks on top of each other, almost making little fingers or dome shaped buds that tend to spread out. When it goes on long enough, the bud looks sort of fluffy at the end, not larfy but not solid like it was originally growing. You usually get single lobe leaves as well, but none with multiple lobes. Foxtails remind me of the old Lamb's Breath buds that were Sativa. They aren't hard nuggs, but smokable and good nonetheless!yeah after some further research I think you’re right. I’m going to raise my lights and move the plants around so my two biggest buds are out of the direct light. They seem to be the ones fox tailing. I’ve heard the term, and always assumed it was leaf curling at the tips, because the leaves look like a tail. I read an article about fox failing that mentioned new pistil growth at the end of flowering, and judging by the big swollen bud, it looks like calyx on top of calyx. Thank you for spotting this.

There are always issues, some minor some major, with every grow. Expect it, nothing can be perfect all the time, to be a good grower just learn to spot issues early & keep damage minimalYeah the more I read you're right. It's not BAD foxtailing, but it's starting none the less. It also looks like the bigger, fox tailed buds look like they have a lot less trichomes than the normal ones. The harvest isn't ruined by any means. But I am bummed after all my research and hard work getting into this, I have an "issue." Or lack of perfection that is.
