Autoflower pollinated?

If it was pollinated, the pistils would be shrivelled up and dried out by now.........so, no, not pollinated by the looks of things.

Nah they are just calyx swelling, doing what it should do, swelling up and then ripening.

Hello FritzTheCat, No, those buds are NOT pollinated! Happy Harvest Buddy! 💚

pinch the clayx and see if their is a seed in them. hard immature mass or baby seed. If yes, pollinated, if no, likely not pollinated. Some plants just grow like that. I had one strain do this and I really liked its effects. not lilkey based off its looks but a pleasant after effect.

Do you have other plants of the same strain or grown it before? If you know what to expect, a big red flag it's heavily pollinated is if it is developing significantly less trichomes than normal. At ths stage of ripeness, it's perfectly normal for pistils to be dying (changing colors). The "bulgy" just look like normal ripening of calyxes. The only way you can tell teh difference from that is when the seed starts to portrude from the envelope near the end. you can always rip off a few calyxes and split them open. i would not do that in this case as it looks fine.

Did the other auto flower produce male parts? Did This one? If no to both then what would make you think they are pollinated. Rhetorical questions obviously. Brown pistil tips and visual signs of male parts or seeds are ways to tell

Pistils not shrinked, doubt its polinated.

i dont see any signs of seeds. You can open a single fat calyx that looks sus to you, but i bet you wont find any seeds in there.
