I'm in the middle of my first grow and have a problem. One of my "female" plants is now showing signs seeds. I have no idea how it got pollinated ( I never got the birds and the bees talk).
I am growing the straing top44 in one of my closets. I vegetated 4 plants. 1 turned out to be male so I killed him. This was within 7-10 days of switching to 12/12. I have checked the other 3 plants every few days to see if they are turning male/hermie. As far as I can tell none of them are hermie and I know none are male.
I am now 5.5 weeks into flowering and have found 1 of my three plants is showing signts of making seeds. THere are these little pods at the bottom of the flowers that are seed shaped. The pod is green but when I break it a whitish liquid squirts out. I'm guessing that these are seeds in early development.
I'm very confused by this situation. The three plants are from the same strain but are very different. I have 1 amazing plant and 2 that kind of suck (at least in comparison). It's one of the underperforming plants that is producing the seeds. This plant developed a lot of brown hairs a week or so ago but is now creating all these white hairs as if the plant was brought back to life. The seeds are also developing on the flowers below the canopy. The top flowers are showing possible signs of seeds.
As you can see I'm at a loss and need some advice. Specifically
1. Are the pod-like objects in my flowers seeds?
2. should I remove the pollinated plant?
3. Do the seeds normally develop this late? THe flowering of top44 is supposed to be 6 weeks.
