I'm in my final few weeks of flowering, on my female clones. The swelling stage started almost 2 weeks ago.

Though I'm a newb, first grow.. Would a female calyx have a 'seed' (or seed looking) inside? Sorry, I don't grasp this. inside a female calyx is a seed that shoots out the pistiles? I fear maybe I stressed it, or maybe this is all normal and I am being paranoid?

Confusing more than anything. I can take a more detailed photo if needbe, this is the best I could do out of 30 takes.

I dont feel so bad now. Examined the other plants, they have none. Just one plant.. They only appeared on the lower branches, so maybe it has something to do with the hormones? debating on cutting the whole branch. But at the same time, these 'seeds' or whatever they are, maybe when they burst, a bunch of pistels come out? Really at a loss.

that last pictures looks like a seed in the top right corner, but I could be wrong.

i also see aseed.......only way to get a seed is to have pollen around. the plant either hermied a little or the pollen came from else where.......

Yes. That is where seed is developed after pollination.

A calyx will send out the pistols. These pistols catch the pollen, which will then form the seeds. The seeds do not send out pistols.

Seeds don't ruin a crop. Sure its not as good as seedless bud, but you can still smoke it. If you already have seeds, might as well grow the plant and whatever branches out since there's no turning back now. Just clean everything between grows and keep your fingers crossed next time. Its happened to me twice now and I even used that Dutch Master Reverse stuff the second time and still got seeds. Its still nice bud.

A female clone, treated properly and with no propensity to hermie, will stay female.
But, If stressed too much a female can and likely will throw out some male flowers. Just like the plants from seed.
