Thanks for reply, but worried as took one of the calyx off and split it and looked like a very small seed inside

I see your seeds from the other post.
With a grain of salt here is what I would do.

The damage is probably done at this point but as a precaution.

I would mist the plants and entire room with water to kill the pollen.

Remove any male pods that start growing.

I would just finish this crop and expect you will get some seeds.

After this grow if possible clean the room exceedingly well.

Also don't mist the plants right before lights out so as to not encourage mold.

Thanks charface but just cleared the room of the hermies 5 so far, there was no make in here all budding 4 were feminised seeds and 15 clones, working my way through clearing them and 5 cloned ones down so far

I'd be looking for a light leak or messed up timer,
Could just be horrible genetics but I'd make sure.

Thanks looks like all of them are fucked, temps been 18/20 lights off and 22/26 lights on, dehumid keeping it at 40% in gorilla tent, maybe dodgy clones this was my first grown, veg tent Ive done all seeds this time because the blue cheese clones I brought were crap and I lost approx 50% of what I brought and most came no rooted

Here is my last thought.
If it were me and I were well into budding and this catastrophe happened I would consider just finishing the grow.

If it's just personal smoke who cares about some seeds compared to losing the crop.

Yeah mate that's what I'm thinking I gave up smoking it a while ago so gna scrap it all and thorough deep clean and start again, feel like throwing the towel in on the growing tbh, was all looking sweet only signs were brown pistils at 3 weeks and large calyx, but today opened up a calyx and opened the buds to find seeds, thought I was home and dry switching to 12/12 and they all budded, look what she looked like :(

In the future you will know hairs turning color at three weeks could be an indication something is a foul.

You'll figure it out.
Keep your head up

Just surprised it's effected all of the plants when catching it so early with no pollen or balls just finding of the seeds by opening up, thinking I'd caught it early, I do use a green light which is supposed to be ok to use in dark periods, thinking il stay out in dark periods all together

I would check my equipment and my perimeters, if it all checks out
I would also not use this strain.

Pinhole light leaks
Timers
Temps
Even hard vibration can mess with plants.

Do you have equipment in the room with indicator lights? I put tape over it.

I would set my room up then sit in there in total darkness for a good few minutes.
