Late in flowering, opened a pod. Is this a small seed being formed?

Hey,

I'm not sure if my plant went hermie, didn't find any pollen sacks. I opened a pod to check whats in it and found this round, seed like shape brown thing. It's reallllly really small and soft and very easy to crush. I've added photos with it zoomed in, and near a clipper to compare the size.

Please help me, did she go hermie?

i cant see enough details in the pic to say for 100% sure, but it looks like it. You did a thorough check on the rest and didnt find anymore of these or male flowers? its weird but this happens sometimes, in fact the biggest plant i got right now did it to. lol, no pollen sacks or bananas or males that could of pollinated them and found no other seeds, that was 3-4 weeks ago that i found that one tiny but very obvious seed beginning and i havent found anything other than that 1 seed and i look very carefully everyday, so i would notice them by now for sure.

I've been searching for male flowers for weeks and couldn't find any. I found some balls, but they were definetly not pollen sacks - only pods such as the one I opened. I know that the plant should have pods anyway, pollenated or not, though i'm not sure of the exact formation.
This is coming from a bud that wasn't getting good light, half of it was blocked due to being close to the closet wall, and on that side (close to the wall) is were more pods are being revealed. It could be that this stressed, i'm just not sure if these are seeds in their formation or not, really hoping them not to be.

Don't forget that female plants form calyxes and that these will later swell with resin, not seeds. I'd remain diligent and just keep looking for male flowers. If you start seeing these on the inter-nodes and they form in clusters, you could have a hermie.

Well, i'm not finding anymale flowers. However, I found in Greg Green's grow bible that immature seeds are white in color and only turn brown when they are mature. This is far far from a mature seed according to the size and its dark brown, darker than mature seeds. I'm hoping that information is correct. They are in clusters, though on a bud that was getting less sunlight, maybe causing it to mature faster and be the first bud to creat false pods.
