Sex of plant?, feminized seed

Got a batch of feminized banana punch seeds. 4 out of the 5 are showing definitive signs of female pistils in the node/crotch areas, but I have a outlier that I'm unsure if it's trying to male out on me even with it being a feminized seed. We're day 2 of week 11, is it a male?

It looks like a young calyx and not a male flower, which generally grows on a little stem. I am sure your plant is not trying to pull a swifty on you, just a late bloomer. Feminised seeds however are not 100% guaranteed to be female, a very rare male may appear, but most often if feminization hasn't worked properly with a seed, a hermaphrodite plant results. At this stage there is no need to panic and certainly no need to chop it down. Hope this helps, Organoman.

I see no signs of it being a male but would continue to watch. If a male it will start forming pollen sacks soon. Time will tell. Be patient 👍

I always think the same thing when I see this, drives me nuts! Lol. It's a calynx. You'll see a hair or two soon. Rule of thumb: keep an eye on just to be sure but I'm sure you're fine. Fun fact: from time to time those feminized seeds will turn out male because nature always finds a way 😉 So if you ever do get one just remember that of or before you point finger at a breeder. I'm not saying you did or are I'm just saying my experience has led me to the conclusion that nature always finds IT'S way, not ours. On that note, looks very healthy so enjoy growth and happy harvest ✌️

Is it worth the risk? Have u seen how the seeds r actually produced on YouTube? Crazy. If it was me and it was totally different I'd throw it out.
