Thanks for posting, everyone else is telling me that the 2 plants in question are hermi's and I should pick them before they pop
Could you go into more detail about your post to me? Thank-You

If you mean my post then then we must go through what makes a plant veg and what makes it flower. A cannabis plant produces a hormone called Florigen that makes it flower. It is always producing this hormone but it is destroyed by even a seconds worth of light. It is also destroyed locally in one area by pinpoint light leaks in a garden or severely reduced.
If this hormone is allowed to build up to a certain level ( somewhere around 11-12 hours darkness) it triggers a cascade of gene expression in a plant to cause it to flower. Every day the cycle starts again. The Florigen builds up and the plant flowers more.Every day when the light comes on Florigen is destroyed. So the amount of Florigen that is allowed to build up overnight determines the level of plant response.
If we enter our grow during the night or cause light to enter through light leaks this can destroy the flowering hormone and cause a diminished flowering response or even worse cause the plant to start vegging again.
This is what it appears to me that is going on in your grow. Somehow some way light is entering the grow and causing you to reveg during flower. So the buds are opening up like the picture I posted, stems are lengthening and you are getting long stretched out areas. This causes a lot of stress to the plant and may eventually cause it to hermie though I don't see male flowers in your pics.
