hey all! this is my first post.

i planted 4 seeds and got lucky. i ended up with 1 male, 2 females, and 1 hermaphrodite (i think). the hermaphrodite is the furthest along and has lots of flowers with the female sex organs, but i am seeing pollen clusters like i saw on my male.

my problem is that the plant has already produced quite a few seeds, but no bud yet. the plant is still healthy and the white stamens have not started to turn color or anything.

will the bud grow to protect the seeds or something? should i already see buds by this point? if buds are forthcoming, how long will it take? or am i screwed?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks all.
