Looks like a hermie to me, help in verifying please

[Ckbrew]

When I checked on the plants this morning I found this on the tallest top bud on the plant. This plant is a clone taken from a flowering plant that was re-vegged, manifolded, then re-flowered. Looks like the start of a ball sack to me. It is a solid ball with pistils coming out of it, no tricomes on it with plenty of tricomes on the adjacent leaves. Should I remove just the balls or take out the entire plant. It is about 2 weeks from schedule predicted harvest, tricomes are still clear.

EDIT- Follow up post at further down- What the heck is this???

I believe you are correct, and thats a first for me never saw one like that.

Looks like a seed.

If its solid its a seed! It also looks like a seed, may as well let it ripen now.

Now that you say that, it does look like a seed. Dam. So there must be hermies somewhere else in the grow. I have inspected, can not find.

Is it possible that pollen could be in the environment as a contaminant? How long is pollen viable after it has left the plant? Could grow area be contaminated with pollen? Had a hermie last grow but didn't know about it until 6 seeds were found in the finished buds when grinding.

Outside pollen can travel 2000 miles on the wind, but most likely from one of the plants in the grow. I aint gonna get in on how long its viable, shortest time I have read was 2 weeks.

Howdy Ckbrew, That looks, to me, to be the early stage (just emerging) of a nanner. Don't panic, just look for some (a few most likely) seeds in the buds that might form, as they will be female seeds.

Here is a follow up on the growth on my plant. I say growth, because I do not think it is a seed or a ball sack or a nanner. I was going to let it mature thinking it was a seed, but today it looked a little different and got the best of me. I pulled it off. It snapped right off and looked like a miniature brussel sprout. I cracked it open and was surprised to see what looks like a miniature curled up plant inside. If this was an animal, I might call it a cyst. Do plants get cysts? What the heck is this? See pix in op for comparison.

Looks like a seed to me. Or maybe a chick lol.

[BushStroker]

Too me it looks like a undeveloped seed. like it needed time.

[Rwise]

Agreed! It would have been a seed given a few more weeks.
