Are these seeds on my buds?

WTH is the matter with you? If there's seeds are you going to trash it? Leave it alone and be surprised .

pick the seeds out, after they get ripe, and grow them. smoke the weed, seeds don't make it poisonous, they just take up weight that people don't like to pay for.

Does it take away from potency?

not all, there's absolutely zero proof that seeded bud is any less potent than sensi, and in fact, some old heads think the opposite to be true, that some how by being seeded, a plant goes through a complete life cycle, and some how in the process it can increase potency.. i've personally never grown a sensi crop next to a seeded crop of the same strain to have a definitive answer.

So am I correct in assuming it had to of been pollinated by a male plant to make this happen?
Cause that's prit near impossible as I haven't been around any other plants. let alone males.

chances are your plant threw a few male flowers early on, then stopped. if you look carefully, i'll bet you can find the remains of male flowers somewhere between a bud and a stem.

Just to clarify, he is saying your plant went "hermie" or turned into a hermaphrodite, and pollinated itself. Seeds from that would be either female or hermie, but there are two camps (as always) on if it's smart to grow those seeds.

Thanks for clarification on that.
What would be the negative effects to growing those seeds, just the chance of a hermi?

Im not too versed on genetics. I just had seeds from my last grow so I've looked into it a bit. But I also had a male in that tent too. It hadn't opened yet, but I'm pretty sure the two rubbed shoulders too much and pollinated normally. But some people use colloidal silver for feminized seeds, and some use female plants that pollinate themselves (hermies). But if that hermie plant went hermie, that means its youngin's can too, so it's not looked at as a stable strain. I could be off on that, but from my research, that is what I have gathered over the past few days. In other words, ou can grow them, get all females, but you gotta look at every bud every day and cull the herms.

You also might want to look into your enviromental conditions. Ask yourself; Did you stress your plant? Was it stressed throughout its life-cycle? Could be, that you induced the herm from that. So you definitely want to make sure all of your methods and environment are in check. It could also be, ya got unlucky and it's a genetics thing. Edit: It will still be fire though.I can attest to that lol

It was very much stressed throughout its life. It went from
being under t5s 24/0 in a solo cup then transplanted into a plastic bucket with no drainage, some home made dug up soil with some mericle grow shit put outside under the sun, for a week. Then I got it and nursed it back to life.
Then I tried a bit of lst and topping.
Then there's the PM issue.
Oh and high heat I can't do anything about right now.

I smoke seeded weed almost exclusively... Hasn't harshed my chill in decades...
I used to say, I'd smoke myself to death if I didn't have to spend time cleaning seeds out of my weed.

That's why it hermied.

I grow out a few in winter when I don't have to look after them outdoors, some years.
I have enough on my hands indoors at the moment though. I generally only grow exodus cheese from clones.

seedy weed is to be worse then a kick in the nutts
if my plant get pollinated it dies the second i discover it
there is nothing wrong with picking out the seeds and smoking the bud left over
if your lucky and only have a few seeds keep the plant
if you know more then 50% of the plants going to have seeds fuck it kill it no ones got the time to pick that many seeds and if you do have that time learn to grow better
but on saying that if i only had one plant and it went seedy id still keep it
