Help with First Indoor Grow.

Hey mand... lots of good info here, and not to nit-pik...but I have a question about seeds "unlikely to have been pollinated". Iâ??m not an expert on plant biology, but i believe pollination has to occur in order for a plant to produce seed ( fruit, of course, can still be produced, thatâ??s how one gets seedless grapes, among others). If you have a seed, it should have all the genetic material needed to produce a viable plant.
Therefore the reason for the seed not germinating must be due to other factors, perhaps if the seed pods not being mature enuf when harvested for them to have completely formed, or not the right temperature, do you think?

Hello Crashdamage Well as I was writting I thought oo-err shall I say this
You see I'm not 100% certain about it, I can only speak from personal experience. I am of the mind that a plant will on occasion produce un-pollinated seeds. I say this because I have not had many seeds in my crops, but of the few I have had I am utterly convinced there were no male flowers at all.
The last crop I grew produced the most seeds I have ever had, two of the plants produced around a dozen seeds between them and I am absolutely positive that there were no male flowers anywhere, I may be wrong but I don't think so.
I really don't have enough knowledge about the subject to say ethier way 100%

I tend to think of it this way, I have in the past kept chickens (I know it's not the same thing but just humor me ). Anyway all the chickens were female, no cockerall's at all, and yet during the summer the chickens laid eggs everyday, totally unferterlised, which is what chickens do
A broody chicken could sit on one of these eggs forever and it would never hatch because it was simply a baren egg.

Therefore I really do think that the odd plant will produce un-pollunated baren seeds.


Anyway C thats my theory, right or wrong I'm not a 100%...........why do I think I'm digging a big hole for myself here
