Feminized issue?

Since you want to get super technical you can't see the calyx. What you are seeing is the bract. Which houses the "calyx". It's like looking at a pussy and saying you see the cervix.

That is completely up to interpretation.

I'll refer you to


"Female pistillate flowers are formed of tight clusters of bracts, the small, teardrop-shaped green petals that we growers refer to as calyxes."

as for being super technical, i was definitely NOT super technical but putting a stop to this false preflower junk. Preflower gives the impression it's about to flower.

Edited to add ganjagod206 art of a calyx (The person who did the chart you refer too)

Yes your link makes my point perfectly. It's commonly called a calyx even though the correct name is bract. Well when a plant matures and shows it's bract people commonly call this "pre-flowering". I was not offended or anything. Just weird to choose the technical term in one aspect and turn around and use the colloquial term immediately after for something else.
I mean if the term pre-flower upsets you so much have another toke and see how you feel :D. :bigjoint::bigjoint::bigjoint:

Im not offended. As I stated preflower gives an impression that it's about to flower. When in fact it's just displaying it's sexual orientation. 90% of posters here have no clue between a&z so using a term such as preflower gives new growers and most people here a sense that there plants are about to flower soon. And the link I posted does not call the inside seed pod a calyx.
