Those are pre-flowers forming normal at week 9-10 veg on photoperiodics, especially as they mature. They won’t actually flower until you flip to 12/12, but the plant is just showing you she’s ready. Once you switch to 12/12, full flowering will start. No problem just means your plant is mature and pistols will develop into full buds once you flip. Go ahead with your 12/12 switch when ready.

Yes, those are female calyxes............also known as "pre-flowers". Cannabis does this when it is old enough, even if the lights are at 18/6. The plants are not actually flowering, just telling you that they are mature enough to grow flowers (think puberty). There is nothing in your pictures to indicate any hermie development, so no need to worry.

see the white hairs popping out, those are calyxes. Female sex organs. Theare are preflowers. They form 1 per branch. If you have a long enough vegetative phase, they will form before you flip to 12/12 schedule. google image search marijuana calyx and pollen sac. They are easy to differentiate. The pollen sac does not have 2 hairs sticking out and if you look at the envelop that sourrounds it, it's segmented around the outside. - the seams are where it splits open. A calyx's envolope wraps around it.. might see 2 seams but don't look the same. More of an overlap that's on an angle and not a seam. All else fails, you can even pull them off while just a nub, slize it open with a razorblade and using some magnification you can look inside and see a row of several nanners or 2 hairs packed inside. Again, distinctly different. The hairs are hairy.. nanners are smooth. coiled or folded up vs peas in a pod.

If those in a couple of days doesn't show any pistills and start to curve down and forming a sack it is brother.... It can be cause by inconsistent watering or PH issue all the time. Unstable breeding practices of feminized seed stock ( you can be just very unlucky that one they put in was a hermie either a male or just had it inside that is more % hermie other than that can be several heavy temperature swings, root rot, pests, any type of physical damage. Some strains naturally carry a higher genetic predisposition to intersex traits. What i thinking is did when they go to sleep have the complete darkness? or someone leaked light into them while asleep? sometimes we just get very unlucky.. have a look on my herme diary inside if you see them sack like that and if is too much then im sorry bro :(

Khahbdid, don't panic! Your babies are totally fine and definitely not hermie. What you are seeing is completely normal and actually great news. Since your White Widow plants have been vegging for about 9 to 10 weeks, they have reached full sexual maturity. When photoperiod plants get to this age, they naturally start showing what we call "pre-flowers" at the nodes (where the branches meet the main stem), even while they are still under an 18/6 light cycle. Those little hair-like structures you noticed are just female pistils. It is basically your plants' way of showing their gender and telling you that they are mature, healthy, and fully ready to flip. Now that you have officially switched the timer to 12/12, they will smoothly transition into the actual flowering phase over the next week or two. You did everything right, so just keep an eye on them as they start to stretch and form real buds. Happy Growing Growmie🌱
