First of all Rusty, I want you to settle this your way because I am interested and dont know if I am on the right track.

What I see in the first picture is a ton of pollen sacks or "nanners" (because they look like a bunch of bananas when they open up). It can look like a bunch of calyxs's but the hairs you see is not a female part but only the feathering of the single finger leaf like plant parts that make up the out side of the pollen sack. Like the end of each banana bunched up because it has not opend up yet.

As for the hermy calyx thing I dont think it is possible because a plant either has pollen sacks OR calyx's. Once the calyx gets the pollen on the "hair" or pistil it then forms the seed which doesnt make it a male or a hermie, just a pollinated female. So I guess you could have a hermy that produces pollin and also have un-pollinated calyx but that would have to be a female that later turned hermie but wouldent last long because it would pollinate its self. In the case of Bataleon420 here that couldnt have happend because the plant never made any calyxs, only pollin sacks or "nanners" that look like a calyx because it was a male from the get go. If I am wrong dont hate on me...just trying to help

While were at it, Rusty... or whoever (weezard) if you dont mind...the "swolen" calyx that is not makeing a seed...what is it swelling with and why does it swell...and scare me like that?

ok rusty...your turn!

P.S. watching tosh.o and thying get all that out, whew. Hope it all makes sence!
