Sac, node or calyx ?

I actually tried those little clips for the first time recently. I ended up ripping an entire branch off trying to remove one of the clips. If I use them again at all, probably won't leave them on nearly as long as I did.

I was about to just remove it and heard a crack which I am sure its fine but was like oh snap I should ask first. Just gonna leave them on signaling to plant to stop growing there or watch it break through or grow through it like I seen with wire ties. Expiremental after all.

Sac? Lemon bubble, a little over 6 weeks old, no calyx found and flipped to flower a week ago. Not growing very much for a 7 week old 3 gallon coco plant, the switch didnt seem to trigger a stretch, dwafy plant. Do you know why its dwarfy, is it a bad pheno or was this meant to grow wonky?

Anyways, flipped a few weeks early and I see little things in nodes instead of a early calyx.

2 days later, it is opening up a bit to look just like a sac like the other plant. Is it a herm? It is 9 days away from being 8 weeks old and no pistol anywhere yet, flipped to flower a little over a week ago.

I thought this is when plants are most vulnerable to pollination that seeds the buds later in other female plants in same room. I heard this can happen if you flip before maturity.

Idk thought but not happy with this plant. The other flipped early just fine or coincidently was just showing maturity as I decided to flip.

I guess some times you just got to make the call yourself, in this case I junked it. My critical thinking told me it should be showing sex by now and it is, its either a male or a really bad herm. No pistol whatsoever.

I have all my plants atm in flower and early flower at that so I anxiously junked it, its loaded with male preflowers, I just now am learning to figure that out. I guess sometimes one or two sacs on a notorious herming strain is ok if its just a few like my chemdog grow right now.

Its in mid flower and the chemdog is 100% female flowers right now, making the first buds and sugar leafs. So yea, good bye lemon bubble.

You think I junked it in time or did it release pollen already? I think its straight male, major lack of side branching and alternating nodes.
