Picked some sample nugs...found a seed!! WTF

Clipped a few nugs from my shitiest looking plant this mournin, and found 1 seed... I pulled all males within 2 weeks of flower, and now its day 52. How did this happen? Could it just be shitty bagseed ganetics, or are all my bitches polinated???

I think the males must have pollinated it.

Since it is bagseed, it is very possible that the plant had bad genetics, and is a hermi.. most likely.

Well, my girls have been fucked. After an intense investigation I found a seed on 2 more lady's.... How long can male pollen linger on shit? Is it possible that it could pollinate my next crop? Does this mean that my girls are not producing bud anymore, and are only creating seeds? +rep for good advice

clean everything good (bleach and or alcohol) before you start your next set.

You can wait it out. it might not be too bad.

pollen travels like crazy, just make sure you clean it well. when you do harvest, you can look to see if it was by a male.. or if there are little banana shaped pollen things in the buds, a hermie.

if its just a hermie it would be better than you having a bunch of male pollen floating around.

DOnt worry mayn, there still producing bud,but just not creating the pollen atracting THC as much because, well they dont need to atract pollen

+rep.... I found a big fat seed on every one of em, but didn't found any nuts or pollen sacks. I just gave em a mighty flush. Might let them go another day or 2 before I chop... Im not gonna waist the light on seeds.

Thankfully not all is lost....

I don't know about this. I remember reading somewhere that once they start to create seeds(after being pollinated), that it puts all of its energy into making seeds. Anyone know for sure?

I heard that too, but I think its just most of its energy, I feel it should mature, who knows?

that well be a good thing. that is called one hundred % garentie female. i get one out of my plants sometimes and all ways turn out to be girls.

Don't worry about it. Long before seedless weed, virtually all weed was seeded to the nines, not just one here and there. And we still had great weed. In fact, I was cleaning out a drawer last night and found a little corner of pure landrace Thai I bought two years ago. That shit was very seedy, and awesome.

What happened is a hermi ball snuck out of a bud somewhere, and you didn't see it.

So, the deed is done. Mature your plants properly. Too many people use hermi as an excuse to harvest early. And like mygirls said, self-pollinated seed more often comes back female (or hermi again, but never male). Just roll with it.
