Are these seeds?

[anfonyy]

Me and my buddy are growing for the first time and we're 6.5 weeks into flowering right now. We've got 4 plants, 2 white widow and 2 northern lights, and everything has gone smoothly thus far. We started off with 5 plants, but shortly after flowering had to pull one because it was a male.
Within the last couple of days we've noticed these small, bulbous looking things on roughly half of the budsites. I'm convinced they're the beginnings of seeds, but he suggests that, because hairs are coming out of them, they will open up to become more bud or something.
I'm assuming that we took too long to get the male out, and he pollinated the plants...is it possible to only pollinate some budsites and not the others? Is this about the time that seeds would start to appear on buds?

I posted some pictures...please let me know what you guys think, thanks!

not sure if they're seeds... but yes, its possible to pollinate just a few bud sites and not others.

yes. they are, shoulda used rubber, (water):thumbsup:

chances are all your females are prego. but on the bright side.the crop it's self looks good, and know you will have new seed to start with,just make sure you thoroughly clean the room with bleach after the cycle. the smokes still good you just need to remove the seeds,which can be time consuming but like i sed,at least you got some new seeds!

All calyxes will swell whether fertilization occurs or not. In sensimilla it is a sort of "false pregnancy". Pop one open and look inside!:)

what do you mean about the rubber?


and also, as far as getting more seeds, we might just try to sell them or something I guess because next grow we're either gonna get clones or just get feminized seeds...dealing with males just makes me too nervous.

[LolaGal]

Perhaps you should take two clones of each plant in veg and then sex your clones while parents are still vegging. Then you could remove the males. what was the daddy? WW or NL? Those seeds will be killer either way! I have read that feminized seeds may lead to hermies......

[anfonyy]

well when we germinated them we lost track of which seeds were which in the towel, but we knew which strains we had. judging by the male's characteristics when we pulled him i'd say he was one of the northern lights.

and i'm not so proficient on the whole sexing thing, but the only way i know how to do it is by going 12/12, and if that is the only case then we would need a separate area to have plants with the other light. but they're all in a 3x3 tent and we have no other space to put stuff.

The crop is seeded...After you harvest make sure you scrub that tent from top to bottom...:stoned:

rubber (water) kills pollen, probably should of said spermicide, but water kills pollen, preventing pollenation on accident (once you paint your pistils thats done, the water is for airborne pollen)

[anfonyy]

wait so are you saying in order to prevent pollination around when i start flowering i should spray the plants with water, like shielding them from pollen?

[stinkybudz]

well not like that, but if you have a nutsacks appearing, you kill the male, but dont want seeds then you should spray or you want to pollinate just one plant or just part of one, then spray, but spraying the entire plant overall might cause mold, or damage from water becoming magnifying glasses
