Plants turning into Hermies?

Hello,
hope it’s OK to start 2 topics so fast. I potentially found another issue while using my last nutes when feeding today. I fear that my run might be ending just a few weeks before harvest and some kind of stress is turning my plants into hermies. I’ll add a few pictures, maybe someone can identify? I also have lots of small branches that just don’t have a chance. Do I just have to pull them through as it’s too late to cut them? Well, will be my smallest problem when they turn into hermies.

Have you picked one to see if a seed is forming or is it just swollen lady parts?

I fear it’s over then? That thing was inside. It’s soft but separated from the sack.

I do not see any male flowers in those pictures. Just looks like swollen calyx to me.

I do not see any male parts on your plant.
It would be ok to clean out some of lower limbs. Happy growing :v:

I have grown scores of plants and they always have these calyxes. Its just what female plants do. The insides are just flower parts. WHat I see does not look like a seed. A seed would be hard and seed shaped more than that is.
I don’t see any need to worry. All normal stuff.
Every plant I have grown has these, and I save them at harvest for smoke.

Thank you. I was really scared at first but I can see some orange hair growing out of them as well now so it really should be fine.

Even now 2-3 weeks before harvest on autoflowers? I fear that I might shock them and really turn them into hermies then.

I wouldnt touch a thing. Calyxs are swelling meaning she is nearing harvest time. Keep on rocking on what youre doing. Take what youve learned from this grow and use it on your next.

Same as everyone above has said. I don’t see anything you should worry about.

Keep up the good work let those buds keep fattening up. Personally I think plants need more than 2 or 3 weeks to finish. Cannabis plants are actually pretty tough. They can bounce back from a hell of a punch. Good luck
