Hello everyone. My questions are these. I have a female plant that went hermie on me im assuming. There are no males around my garden and I am finding that there are a few seed pods here and there mainly on the lower branches. my top cola is swelling wonderfully and looks great. I only found 1 pod in the main cola. I have a mother from these same genetics aswell.

Question 1: should i keep mom and take it as a possible stress issue i.e light ph or something like that?

Question 2: will i still get a good yield even though i have very little seeds? thanks in advance
 
Have you found any ACTUAL seeds? Those (in the pic) just look like swollen calyxes. Thats perfectly normal for a plant in late flowering stage. And even if you find what appears to be pollen sacks (like as if your plant went hermie) that could be perfectly normal too.
This is from another article- " occassionally specious staminate flowers will appear in the last days of flowering of a female plant. These do not drop pollen and their appearance is not considered evidence of deleterious hermaphroditism."
So I dont think you have anything to worry about. You can keep your mom and your yeild will be unaffected. :) Of course this is all out the window IF you found some actual seeds. lol
 
well if they are seeds then it was pollinated a male plant could be a half mile away and still pollinate your ladies less seeds means less pollination so my thoughts is that it was a distant plant but of course i could be wrong

Could be. Stranger things have happened I'm sure.
If you didn't find any pollen sacks or bananas.....there could be a male in the neighborhood.
How about a picture of one of these seeds.....
I would still keep your mom plant though. And keep any seeds you find. If you grow any of them and they all turn out female, then you can assume that the plant pollinated itself. If some turn out male and some female then you got pollenated by a regular male somehow.:confused:

its most likely to be in the seeds genetics i had the same problem 3 plants and 2 were hermies it did not show untill a good few weeks into flowering.
i removed them from the grow room and killed them and the one i had left turned out to be pure sinsemila.
