    Need some help

    Is this plant a hermi ? I just noticed these little sacks on my auto they have pistols shooting out the end of them if they are what do I do I'm well into flower and have two of the same strain Six shooters autos from Oregon elite seeds never noticed any sacks when they first showed sex but I'm a first time grower so looking at these developing flowers is new to me any advice would be appreciated.

    Hi Delucia21
    All good. Those are called bracts (I think) they are associated with female flowering. Not a hermie

      The pointed end with a single pistil usually indicates a developing calyx.

        crucialbunny, In botanical terms, they are bracts with emerging stigma, often incorrectly identified as calyx and pistil.

        It’s a calyx, nothing wrong with calling it a calyx, like 90% of people do in here

      The good news is, it's all good news. Your nail bed looks healthy as well. Great pics.

          Just wondering if they should be removed or left alone 🤔

              CaptainWiese91, As I mentioned, it's often misidentified. Absolutely nothing wrong calling it whatever you like. It's simply not a calyx. Just as these are not women, even though they identify as such. But you can call them women if you like. No problem.

                Collectively the sepals are called the calyx (plural calyces), the outermost whorl of parts that form a flower. The word calyx was adopted from the Latin calyx,m. Some plants retain a thorny calyx, either dried or live, as protection for the fruit or seeds.
                calyx cells are one part of the perianth, a nearly transparent, delicate tissue that partially encloses the ovule (prospective seed). ... The bracts and bracteoles are small, modified leaves that enclose and protect the seed in what some growers refer to as the seed pod.
                It’s not more incorrect to call them calyx than a bract. It’s absolutely the same thing. And can be called both things. And the first word for the calyx, was calyx and not bract.

                Thanks for the picture. But I’m not into that. It’s a free world so of course you can have you desires as you want
