Chicks with Dicks...pics...20 days into flower

So my girls are 20 days into flower, and have some nice looking bud development. However, I think I can see little seeds forming within the main top bud of one of them!

I found two balls growing on the lower stems about a week ago. I removed them and haven't seen another since.

If I am truly observing seeds in this bud, does this mean the plant has been pollinated? Or are these pollen sacks I'm seeing grow within the buds?

I don't want the other two girls to get pollinated, but I don't want to kill the hermie because it is very hearty and looks like it will produce a decent yield.

Also, if I clone a female that has been pollinated and flowering for 3 weeks, will the clone grow seeds? I would veg it for ~1 month before taking back to flower...





Maybe I'm just paranoid, but they look like seeds to me. Can I try to carefully remove them from the bud?

Any help or suggestion is much appreciated!

Also, the plants took an unexpected trip to the back porch 2 days ago when my power went out (as I was in the process of watering no less). I live in an area where there is a LOT of pollen outside right now from trees and other plants--so much so that a visible layer of it covers your car, chairs, porch, anything outside. Do you think this pollen would have any effect? I realize if there was weed pollen somehow floating around with it (unlikely, I live in a rather urban neighborhood) that would be a different story.

Just trying to shed some more light on the issue.

that thing looks like it went hermie to me, if it was mine i would move it outside or something and let it seed. Or just cut it idk. The other plants pollen from outside shouldnt effect it unless there is a male bud/hemp plant somewhere around. If you put it outside to seed itself you will get a shit ton of good seeds for your next grow.

Thanks man. I'm thinking of taking it to a friends house or something and let it do its thing there. It was bag seed to begin with so its probably not worth keeping around.

If you take the pollen from this plant and brush it on a couple pistils of one of your other females it will create some feminized seeds. Just something to keep in mind if you need some good seeds. A hermie here or there isn't such a bad thing. Unfortunately, all 13 of the plants on my current grow went hermie from acidic water :( Good Luck!

Thats what I figured. Thanks for the reply.

I think my neighbor will take it for me tomorrow and we'll put it under some cfl's in his closet. Not the ideal situation, but at least I'll get some bud out of it, even if it is seedy bud.

Absolutely false. How do you think the seed banks create feminized seeds? They force herm females with gibberellic acid then use that pollen to impregnate other females. The resulting seeds will be 90% female. This is in about every grow bible available. However, herms that pollinate themselves will create 50% females 50% herm seeds.

I knew they were used to make feminized seeds, but I don't really want to fuck around with that too much. If it was some killer strain and not bagseed, that would be a different story.

She/he is going to my buddies house to finish off growing--no pollen in my room!
