hey. thanks for looking. so heres the deal. in week 5 of flowering. all indica grow. all look amazing. i looked closely at one plant, probably for to long, now i am panicing. i see some swollen calyxes, pulled them off, found what looks like a tiny seed inside. all my plants are females from seed. there are a few different strains as well. i know all plant strains are different, but im wondering is this normal, or did my plant turn hermie somehow? i didnt have any pollen sacs anywere. i found a few bannanas on a seperate plant, but it that plant is not near the plant im concerned about, and no plant between the two seems to have these calyxes. the bannannas have been pulled, and i use a spray bottle pretty often to stop any possible pollen from being airborn. and have been doing this even before i noticed this. these type calyxes are only on one of my plants. if i do have seeds, i highly doubt my whole grow is affected. maybe a few seeds here or there. i guess my questions are, are these seeds? and is there a way to tell by looking at a plant if its been pollinated or not? if the bannas affected that plant, i cant see the others not being affected. like i said i doubt i have anything to worry about, even if there are seeds there wont be many (hopefully!) i am known to think myself into non existant problems. lol. but ive never had any experience with hermies or seeds, so i dont really know what to look for. any info is appreciated. i will post pics below. thanks again. excuse my spelling, in a hurry.

If you had banana's in the grow then you will prolly have a few seeds, Pollen can travel for 100's of miles in the air and still be viable, In places in europe they have pollen forecasts because of this. I see one calyx that looks pollinated in the pics, usually when they have accepted pollen the pistils shrivel and turn colors, then the calyx swells with the seed. finish the grow and get some better genetics that aren't susceptible to turning hermie. Dont let it ruin your grow or do anything rash, a few seeds is no big deal :) BB

in some parts of the country growers have problems with plants accidentally cross pollinating with wild hemp.you can even pick up pollen on your cloth and bring it into your grow room.keeping yourself clean before you enter your grow room is am important part of keeping your grow room clean and insect free as well as pollen free.and it can carry for miles in the air

mmmm Afghani cheese, Oh wait, that sounds like something under the nutsack of some goat banger lol. I made a diy 218 watt vero 29 led light and am totally pleased, If I were you I would shy away from the hps. I ran them forever and am now in the process of upgrading all the rooms to them. Nice plants , you're doing well hoss :) BB

thanks man. i like led, its cooler, less to deal with, only problem is led light doesnt spread the same way, it seems more direct. at least with my cheap led. the plants directly under the led do amazing, but i would need multiple leds to get the same lighting as the hps. maybe one day i can afford one of the kind brand led lights. lol

Build em , You will get 5 times the light for 1/3 the price of some store bought light. Check out my build I just finished in december, There are links to the equipment and all together it was about 290 for everything. https://www.rollitup.org/t/vero-29-x-4-cob-build.929757/#post-13230721
