colorockman Reviewed by colorockman on 01-26-2007. SEEDS?!? and no male in site... what the??? well I have been harvesting a few buds early and I have gotten a few seeds. I pulled the males like real early and cut them at the ground and threw them away. It's definatey not a hermie, there are no male pods anywhere, and the main kola is like 15" and as fat as my wrist. buds all over thick and juicy:jointsmile: is this normal..... also, how long does it take to get to 50 - 70% dried pistels, mine are still white and fat, it's reaching its harvest date and only about 5% are orange? it's Rating: 5

Quite often a female will produce a seed or two which doesn't make it a hermie but does mean it had a male flower early in its life, or one nearby from another plant. Or possibly you transported a bit of pollen in from a friend's grow...but no matter. If it came from a self-induced pollination I would save them and grow with the next batch as the few I have gotten over the years have always been female when grown out. You'll know when the seed's ripe by watching for the pod to split but do not use it as a judge on when to harvest. These seeds usually happen very early in the plant's life and are in no way connceted with the timing of the crop.

You have to pull the males really early, as I found out. They DO flower from day one, they don't need 12/12 lighting. Also, like Madeline said, some females produce only one male flower so it's easy to go undetected amongst all the budding taking place. It sucks, but hey, seeds are fun too!

thanks all, well i can always use some more seeds as long as they're good.
I thought i pulled the males early, but obviously did'nt get all the pollen....
