It’s starting to flower. Clip that little baby off; it will extend the life of the plant as well as forcing more branching and bushy growth.

It’s bolting, meaning it is trying to flower. Many plants take on unpleasant bitter tastes if you let it occur. Just pinch it off.

It’s flowering.

Your basil is flowering so it is indeed a dank nug but cut that shit off. When basil bolts it gets steamy and woody

It’s a flower you can also eat the flowers it make a ice white garnish and looks kinda like a mini mini orchid

Want a shorter hardier basil? Look up bifurcating!! Helps reduce your flowers too.

Collect the seeds and have an endless supply to plant.

Seed pods. Cut them off to keep growths coming on strong.

That is, indeed, dank basil nug. Cut them off as soon as you see them and toss em in your salads for that spicy basil kush green.
You can let it flower for the bees but it drastically reduces basil harvest.

It’s about to flower. In my experience this is THE time to harvest.

It’s bolting! Harvest soon or cut that bud off. Makes the leaves tougher and less tasty as the plant redirects energy to making a flower.

Pinch it off. Prune the leaves. When more appear, do it again.

Once it starts to flower, it is going to try to keep flowering. Keep on top of pinching, or cutting these off, like literally every day, and you will have a killer basil harvest at the end of the season.

Flowers!! It wants to produce seeds! You can pinch it off and extend the life of the leafing plant, but it will want to go to seed soon!

Yep, what others have said. Just top it like you would those dank bud plants and it’ll grow 2 tops, just like the dank bud plant.

Flowering cut it off to prevent it from going to seed, the flowers are edible and have a unique flavor

It’s flowering. If you want to prolong the life and flavor of the basil you can pinch these off as they come in.
