Different flower signatures - same strain - any advice? 40 days flowering

FIRST GROW. So 2 plants (Royal Flush from Nirvana), same light, air flow, water, nutes. The unhappy flowers look to have sacks or swollen somethings at the top. All the lower flowers are doing the same thing. The happy plant is doing well and the bottom and middle flowers are growing upwards from the nodes to meet each other. What's with those swollen balls? Any advice?

Those swollen sacs are seeds in your bud im afraid...one of your plants is after hermieing and pollinated the pistils..have you everyy thing in check...light leaks...timer going wonky...to much bloom nutes to early..heat stressed..any of the above could of caused it...i hope im wrong but that what it looks like...

No slip ups that I know of. Light leaks are NONE, lights are 10" away, timer is good. Started Kool Bloom bud nutes 7 days ago but obviously 1 plant likes everything......

So seeds in the bud - - - pull it & dry it and see how it looks & tastes after curing? Or let it go? Can it pollinate the other plant?

Surprising because no issues at all on the other plant.

Check right under the nodes on the branches and you should b able to c the yellow nanners after opening and releasing pollen....i bet all the swollen sacs are the ones with the dark withered pistils...and it usually happens the same time in flower..between week 3 and 6 .... If U want to really know open one of the sacs on the lower flowers and c if there's a seed forming...but U defo have pistills pollinated...

Should I be worried about the other plant getting pollinated?
If you have pollen floating around you should be concerned as it will find the other plant. I got some seeds about 6 -8 weeks in just let it ride I have only found about 10 or so since then and buds are still growing harvesting tomorrow.

I wouldn't pull it unless you find the male flowers... Seems hasty to be assuming hermie with no male parts showing, at least IMO

It has pollen sacks all over it.
Ouch, bad news there. You can definitely pull it, but there is a chance that the damage has already been done, if the pollen sacks opened there is gonna be pollen everywhere even if you get the plant outta there. Gonna have to scrub your grow room with a mild bleach solution after this grow unless you wanna accidentally pollinate your next crop too :(

I have 3 rooms going - a nursery with the domes, middle school where they veg and high school for flowering. Space is always tight in the flowering room, but I usually have extra room in the veg room. So I often have autos about to finish alongside vegging females next to each other. I suspect the autos are responsible for my seed pods deceloping on the females.

Don';t toss the hermie! It will be almost as good quality-wise. Or send it to me for immediate inspection! BigSteve.

Chopped it. It's ok, since it's my first grow I can practice on drying and curing. Loads of trichs, just all still clear. What a pretty smelly lady she was until she went Tranny on me. I gotta figure if the other one goes the needed 20 more days, it wasn't light leaks, timer problems, nutes, etc. Was just meant to be.
