Newbie grower on week 8 flowering. Bottom buds on my plants look very different from the big top buds and today I found a seed in one of the lower buds. Should I remove the lower buds and keep going with the rest or am I as well harvesting both plants now before more seeds appear ?
Any help appreciated thanks20180610_200058.jpg 20180610_200050.jpg

Thanks for the advice. Won't be giving anyone seeds from this. I did have a third plant which was male and removed from grow room soon as it showed to be male but I'm guessing damage was already done. Gutted as it's only the smaller buds lower on the plant that are showing signs of seed just hope the the rest are good

your not almost close to done its obvious those plants have a long way to go., the bottom has brown pistils because theyve been pollinated, i would defiantly rip those off if your worried about infecting the rest of the plant. dont listen to these people. you still got atleast 4 weeks left if you want to really get all you can out of it, you can tell the top is no where near to being ready.

Let them finish.

Old school growers used to pollinate a branch, or a few buds to increase resin production. Empirical evidence seemed to bear this out, but I know of no actual studies.

In any event what the seeds produce could be interesting.

Dont peek when they are on the dark cycle. I had hermies in a 3 plant 4 x 4. They all went to seed. I never used them because they were fem seeds to begin with so the hermy percentage is high.

They tasted like shit in a doob but they cooked in the magical butter machine just the same. Killer brownies all round.

And just where has the poster said anything about a male? Let's assume it's a hermie until one generation grows out.
I'm with you on the possibility that there is a hermie pollen sack inside one of those lower branches. If the male he removed was the culprit I would think it would be all over the plant not only on the lower branches.

I'm just saying grow some out and see. I had to pull 10 out of 10 Chemdawgs last year when they hermied. Almost certainly due to something like this.

If you pulled it at the first sign it was male it's not your suspect
