Bmollyanswered grow question a year ago Don't worry, it's understandable that you may confuse the swollen calyxes with male signs. However, in the case of your plants, I'm glad to inform you that they are female plants.
The calyxes are the small, swollen structures that form around the bud sites on female cannabis plants. During the flowering stage, these calyxes can swell, giving them a similar appearance to male signs, such as the small balls on male plants.
It's important to note that swollen calyxes are a normal trait in female plants and are indicative of good bud formation. As the flowers continue to develop, the calyxes will keep growing and fill up with resin and trichomes, contributing to the production of high-quality buds.
Therefore, there's no need to worry about the appearance of swollen calyxes on your plants, as they are a sign that they are in the flowering stage and producing buds. Enjoy the process and I wish you the best of luck with your cultivation!
