This a Hermie?

[Hazie Clear]

Feminized auto widow. Week 2 1/2 in bloom. Are these pollen sacks? They have a dark hair coming out of them. Will these jack up my other fems?

Nope! Those are just swollen calyxes.

Pollen sacs will be on a little stem, and usually hang down. They're also much more rounded in the pictures I have seen.

Male pollen sacs will not have a hair coming out of them.

Thank you friend. I feel much better now. So what is a swollen calyx? And does the swelling mean anything?

The calyx is the female part of the plant, and the swelling basically indicates you're approaching peak maturity. If fertilized, the seed would grow inside the calyx.

Again, thanks, this is my first auto. Though I have seen this on other non autos , just not so prominate. I really appreciate u helpin me out.

No problem, I'm always happy to help when I can.

I've seen this on autos and photo strains, but I've also seen both types of plants grow without the calyxes swelling as much. I think it depends on the strain mostly. They all have different genetics that produce plants of different heights, widths, Cannabinoid levels all vary, and characteristics like the amount of trichomes and swollen calyxes can vary as well.
