Post a pic lets see it:thumbsup:
I've used my Sony camera, my blackberry camera and even got out my Nikon D70 that I use for storm chasing and I can't get a single decent picture. It won't focus right with the D70, with the Sony the flash blinds everything and with the blackberry it's shit. I've pretty much given up on the picture. The only option I have left is to use a video camera and grab a still from that.
I do think the mystery is solved now though. I am pretty sure they are seeds developing. I have no fucking clue how that happened, but it did. On the top of the bud site where all the pistils are coming out it looks kind of like a cluster of lighter green graps. Each of these little grapes are like a swollen female preflower, you know that pointy oval shape and have two pistils coming out the end. I pinched one off with tweezers and inside of it is a tiny shrimp shaped greenish clear deal. I guess it's a developing seed.
Since I can't get a picture I'll link a picture that looks pretty much like my plant. I came across these when I was trying to figure this out. It looks almost identical to the first picture of a hermie in this post. If that's a hermaphrodite, I got one too.

Turn off the flash, adjust the color balance, set the camera on something solid, (books, boxes, milk crates...) and turn off the fans.Quote:

If the calyx you checked didn't have a hard shell forming inside, it's possibly not a seed. It only takes a few days for the hard shell to start forming, and is impossible to miss. If no shell, it's likely just a swollen calyx.Quote:

They are seeds. I still have no idea how that happened, but I guess I won't worry too much about it. I looked the plant over and can't find anything else. It only happened to three or four little buds on the bottom of the plant.
I didn't try to take another close up picture of the seeds since it really isn't a problem any more now that I know what it is. I plucked the biggest seed off with tweezers and carefully unwrapped it. There isn't any doubt about it now. Unless this is going to cause a problem in some way I don't know about I guess my crisis is solved. Thanks for everybody's help. I'm glad I didn't toss my plant out. I was damn close to doing it, but thanks to everybody's help on here I still have her.
It's possible some pollen just floated in, or came in on your clothes too.Quote:

Pooh happens!
I just had some white widows also herm at about the exact same time (4.5 - 5 weeks). I can't think of any reason why it would do this!! No other strains hermed at all and both white widows did!! However, they were on the edge of my room not getting the best light... I wonder if that may've caused the herm... I killed those fuckers instantly because I don't want any seeds. Plus they were sprouting bananas in about half of the buds... serious stress it would appear... that's why I'm confounded.Quote:

Is this the same grow that had no lights for a few days, and had to move because of the electrician, and had spider mites, and had all the problems you have had?Quote:
