Are These Balls?

[SeniorMoments]

I harvested one of my Gorilla Glue Auto’s yesterday and noticed some growth that could be balls .
She was much farther along than the other two plants.
This morning I took the other two plants out and examined for same growth.
Sure enough , I found some on both remaining plants.
I am at Day #74 ( from seedling ) and not far from harvest .
What do you folks think ?
Are these girls trying to hermie at this late date ?

No worries, just nice healthy Female Calxy there

 

[JamesBong502]

Just a swollen up calyx, balls will typically show up in clusters and mature faster then buds. (I don’t know if it’s the same case for hermies)

nice harvest,,

cheers

Good job hope she smokes well

I suspected this but I really needed the assurance.
My entire crop hermied on me last winter ( due to obvious mistakes ) prior to joining
So I was sort of concerned.
Thank you all.

Not the plant pictured above.
She is not ready.
I did chop her sister yesterday but , for whatever reason , she was way ahead in trich development and pistils turning ripe.
I did 3 different training methods on 3 GG’s.
The one I chopped yesterday received the least amount of stress and developed faster than the other 2 plants. But I should add , she will be the least productive as far as weight goes.

Those "balls" are the first pre-flowers when the female plant begins to mature.

They get fatter and fatter as the plant gets closer to harvest.

I look at them as an indicator of ripeness. We want them looking fat and round just like you have there. At the trim table we trimmers sometimes collect them and puff puff.
Trimmers Delight is what that is right there.

Ah ok, was going to say, you still have some time on that one.

So this happened today on my Skywalker auto

Zoom in if you can, those are balls on a late flowering auto. Great plants you have merry Christmas

Gently pull the nanners off before they open up & release pollen. You only have a short time till harvest so you should be OK. No seed will fully develop in a couple weeks.
