Those look like seeded seed pods. Open one up and see whats inside
i have opened em up before and there isnt any pollen.(yet). it has a little white center when i open them with a little liquid and green surrounding it. what if they are seed pods? how would this happen? its starting to do it on another plant as well, i removed 2 males the day they showed sex about a month ago.

This is my first time looking at the pictures, and they do not look like a hermie to me either. Look at pic 4... I think I see pistols coming out of one of the pods. That would tell me that's a female bud. Plus, those look pretty big to be male pollen sacks. But, every strain is different.

What strain is it supposed to be? Or is it bagseed? I don't remember if you've answered this already.

Not sure how it could happen if you got the males out before they opened. But thats definatly a seeded pod. Do you have fresh unfiltered air coming into the room?

Seeds are fine. It would be better if you knew who the father was. Pollen will cling to your cloths, hair, hands, pretty much everything. So if youve been in contact with any other males, that could also be where the pollination came from. But the seeds will surely be pretty good dont ya think?

im sure they are good seeds. so can i grow these out and just keep pluckin seed pods till harvest? and ill have normal chronic but with seeds? what about the other 2 plants that dont show signs of this, will they produce seeds later too?

If it were me, I'd leave the pods and let the seeds develop. The other 2 may or may not have gotten pollinated. So just keep an eye on em

Agreed. Let them be. You've stressed yourself out around them. No need to stress the plants out further. Leave them alone and they'll produce for you.

Good luck!

thanks a lot guys for lettin me know that they were just pollinated and not hermies makes me feel better about it. i was stressed for a couple days. as far as the producing i did a little reading and is it accurate that they still flower the same length of time as if they werent pollinated? and bud size will decrease because of energy spent on seed production? that sucks if its drastic in harvest. some rep as well thanks for the help

Congratulations!!! Ur pregnant! :lol:

Those are seed pods....
just when u last last expect it! guess one slipped by. damn! hope she still produces for me

u guys think if i just pull pods when i see em, will that be more stressful to my girls than just lettin em grow the seeds? the first time orchestrator is still stressed on the best harvest considering the situation. thanks for any help concerning this type of issue

Yes, you can actually pollinate a female by hand with "stored" pollen throughout the grow....many ppl will purposely pollinate a bud for a new wave of seeds, but still want the rest of the plant to be without seed.

but i have so many affected bud sites now. i doubt i can control what bud it concentrates on now. hope im wrong though

What's done is done. I was just saying that ppl do pollinate theirs on purpose, but CONTROLLED pollination.
After awhile, you will be able to spot a hermie or male right off. I can almost always tell which of the first plants will turn male. Typically, but not always...the males will BOLT in the beginning and gain height faster then the others. I group my plants (when i am growing) from shortest to tallest. I can make sure no one gets shaded out and the males will tend to be together when they finally sex out...usually.
