Did my Pink Runtz hermie? Photoperiod, Day 45 of flower. Found what looks to be seeds. Took one of those bulges and popped it, liquid squirted. The past few days temps fluctuated between 26 and 22 daytime, 18-20 at night, because of lung room temps changing. What should I do?

Yes, about 2-3 weeks ago. Those are developing seeds. It is not normal "swelling". Just because some people can not see "naners", "bananas" or "pollen sacks" does not mean they actually know what they are looking at! Not much you can do now that it is pollinated..........just let her finish. Good news is that now that seeds are growing, this will signal the plant that it does not need to continue hermie-ing. BTW, those seeds will be no good for future grows.........they will not be feminized..........they will however carry dominant genes for being hermies themselves. So, unless you are intereted in breeding a hermie strain, throw all the seeds away.

It’s normal for this cultivar, it’s the way it grows… Look at these RQS phenotypes , you will see how the buds swell : https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/us/feminized-cannabis-seeds/660-pink-runtz.html

i don't see any nanners or pollen sacs. female sex organs have 2 haris projecting from them. google image search to familiarize yourself with with a pollen sac or anthers ("nanners") look like on a marijuana plant. Easy to distinguish. Look over plant and if you don't find any, you are probably fine. nanners are less of an issue. If they don't pop out of a pollen sac, they don't produce much viable pollen, if at all. your temp fluctuations would not cause it. Also, they don't grow male bits in 2-3 days. So, the stress would have to be 10-14 days prior to pollination for enough time to grow and mature male sex organs.

hey Buddy f this were my Pink Runtz at day 45 flower, I honestly wouldn’t jump straight to “hermie” from what you’re showing. A few key things that make me less worried: • I don’t see bananas (anthers) sticking out of the buds • I don’t see defined pollen sacs • Swollen calyxes by themselves are normal in mid–late flower • Clear/whitish liquid when popping tissue can simply be plant sap, not seed contents Immature seeds don’t usually squirt liquid, they’re solid and take time to form. What you’re describing sounds much more like a fat calyx or bract, which Pink Runtz is actually known for. About the temps: 26 → 22 day and 18–20 night isn’t ideal, but it’s not extreme enough on its own to cause a late-flower herm, especially this far in. If it were stress-induced herming, I’d expect to see actual nanners by now, not just swelling. What I would do: • Do not panic or chop early • Keep a close eye on buds over the next 7–10 days • Look specifically inside the buds for yellow banana-shaped growths • Remove nothing unless you see confirmed male parts At this point, I’d treat this as “monitor, don’t intervene.” Most real herms don’t whisper, they shout. Growers Love my friend and please remember this is just my humble opinion, please follow your instinct 👊

Based on what you’re describing, it doesn’t automatically mean it hermed — especially without seeing any bananas or male sacs on the plant itself. A few key points: Liquid squirting from a swollen calyx is often just plant fluid/bract juice, not a mature seed. Immature seeds are solid, not liquid. At day 45 of flower, true mature seeds would already be firm and visible. Your temp swings (26→22 day, 18–20 night) are not extreme and usually wouldn’t cause a healthy photoperiod to herm on their own. What to check next: Look closely at the nodes and buds (especially lower and mid canopy) for bananas (yellow, elongated, no hairs). Check if the swollen parts have pistils — seeded calyxes usually lose pistils early. Keep an eye on new growth, not old buds. What to do now: Don’t panic-harvest. Keep conditions stable. Avoid stressing the plant further (no heavy defoliation, no light leaks). Without visible bananas or pollen sacs, I’d say this is very unlikely a herm. One or two odd calyxes can happen. If you start seeing actual seeds forming or bananas, then we reassess. For now: monitor closely, but carry on 🌱
