Upon examining my plants today I noticed the pods you'll see in the pictures I've attached. Are those seed pods? Im not sure. I am growing through flowering under a 400w HPS and I veg under a 600w MH.

It seems crazy to me that I'd have pollenated females because I cut down 4 males from this grow that all had maybe 3 balls on them at the time that they were chopped, so it seems quite impossible that they would have had a chance to burst open and pollenate.

I wont be mad if they are seed pods. it just means I have tons of seeds and a lot more work to do at harvest. but I am hoping that maybe its just something else...that Ive never noticed before? Maybe? I did harvest one plant that was done and there were no seeds or anything that looked like that on the plant that was harvested.

These have been flowering for around 2 months now.

what do you think they are?! mysterious things on my plant.

Also...this is not my first grow. Ive probably got about 8-10 grows under my belt.

Your picture isn't 100% clear but those do look like nuts. Could be a hermie.

I have grown this strain before and it was never hermies. actually...the seeds are from the same seeds that about 90% of my last grows have been from and none of those turned out to be hermies. :-\ also... there was no balls where the pistils came out when they were growing. Ill try and take some better pictures. They are in a grow tent in my garage so the lighting isn't the greatest

any other opinions?!

Well...I pulled one off just to check it out and what I found inside seems to be a seed.

Ive looked over all the plants and it seems as though if they were pollinated then only a few of the branches were that I can tell of. I just wonder how the heck they got pollinated so fast if I removed the males pretty much as soon as a ball showed up. >.<

here's a pic of the possible seed and of the plants in general.

I guess the question now is... when do I harvest them if there are seed pods? I mean... right now I'd say on some of the plants there are about 70% brown trichs...others only about 40-50%. on the one with more brown pistils some of the seed pods are slightly cracked open. is that a sign that i should harvest those plants?

more pix ignore the droopy plant in the back. it's been pissed its entire life for whatever reason, but it hasn't seemed to stop it from growing and producing, so I just let it do its thang.

only 2 of the plants are close to 70% but what Im wondering is if there are seeds on them (which there seems to be) are they still ready to harvest at 70%? or do i need to wait longer?

Kind of in the dark on what to do if my plants have seeds on some of them because Ive never had a problem with a male pollinating a female, so I dont know what to do as far as how the harvesting process changes....if I need to dry the plants before I pull the seeds off? or before? when I know the seeds are done so theyll be good. Since i have them I'll use them.

It seems to be only a few branches throughout a few of the plants, so not too sure.

anyone else have some input...could reallly use some real advice, not one sentence replies.

Regardless of seeds, you should wait as long as you want based on trichs. Pick them when you want, right now is perfectly fine

well obviously I'll wait until they are good to smoke, but I'd like to make sure the seeds that are there can be germinated so Id like the best of both worlds. I think I read before that when they start breaking open the seeds are ripe or whatever, so I guess they look ripe. IDK....I just grow. I never intended to breed some seeds into the world, even though it is pretty interesting. lol.
