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.

That sounds a bit like it went hermie and polinated itself.

Be careful or the other plants can start have sex behind your back and they will all get pregnant if you know what I mean :p ...

those are most likely false seed pods that is what a caylast is before they are polliated unless you see little yellow bananas shape things protruding from the buds you should be fine if you can take a pic I can see for sure.

Thanks for all the replies.

ugu: I'm not sure if I understand your question. The flowers have a lot of hairs and about 30% have turned brown.

LOOK FOR THE YELLOW FLOWERS OR THE YELLOW BANNANA'S. ALL IT TAKES IS ONE 'NANNA TO JACK THAT LADY UP. MY HERMIES SHOW 6-7 WEEKS INTO FLOWER.

I just went through a trying period with my plants. No power for 3 days, so high heat, virtually no light (flashlights), and no ventilation. Upon regaining power, I also noticed a little pod. I plucked it off and squeezed it, and got the same thing: a little squirt of white juice and a very pungent smell. Hope my plants didn't hermie too. If they did, well, I still see a whole lot of bud in there, lots of crystally goodness, so I ain't tossin' em out! If I see any bananas, I'll pull 'em off, but otherwise, I'm just gonna hope for the best.

Update

Yesterday morning I decided to kill the plant that I thought was a hermie. When I was removing the flowers I noticed most of them were developing seeds. I also saw something at the bottom of one flower that had a lot of yellowish powder. I think it might have been pollen.

Last night I removed a flower from my main plant to test smoke and saw signs of seed development. I decided to harvest my plants at that point. I was going to harvest this weekend so it wasn't that early. The main cola's are showing little to no signs of seed development which is good.

I have 3 clones waiting to move into the growing room. I am worried that the room still contains pollen which will ruin the next grow. I'm going to wipe everything down carefully to try and remove the pollen. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I should clean the room?

just scrub it down good, dust it, scrub it down again, and grow
