Trouble late flower herm

I have some star pupil from mass medical strains growing. I have 14 days until I chop them and I started to notice small white seed pods in my lower bud sites. Not sure what to do with her right now? Do I chop sooner than later to stop seed production/growth? Do I let her run and then try and get rid of seeds when curing? Do I let it run and then just bho blast it all? Not sure what to do or even how big the problem is. Just need to hear some advice on the matter a very debatable topic, I've read by well credited growers that it isn't that big of problem. The buds are super thick stinky and glistening with trichomes. Sad

Another shot of her. I couldn't get a good picture of the small seed sites but there is no bananas and it's only on the smaller lower buds. Maybe not enough light got to them or in general got stressed somehow. Don't know what to do

who cares? for decades weed always had seeds in it. let the seeds go, harvest as normal, collect the seeds and eat them, plant them whatever. Seeded weed is just as good smoke as none. dont buy the hype, yours looks good

Thanks for the positive input buddy. I'll probably just dispose of the seeds and maybe go through and get rid of as many as I can when curing comes. I knows it's going to look good otherwise

Just had the same with the multi strain grow that i have just done,I have found 3 seeds in it ,But have really had a good look and there aint no more.I was lucky i all ways check my plants ,but did not see a late male pollen sack,But some one on here did see it and said so ,so i pulled them a few days after that ,they was at the end of week 8 and was done any how ,I think it was me going in the room a few times during lights off,and a few holes in the door ,that may have let light in.Both problems have been solved filled the holes and no more going in till lights come on with my next grows .The Room has got two Pineapple Express in there now and they are looking very nice,Few leaf marks ,but that is because i kept them in small pots for a while ,now there in big pots and straight to flower they look fine.If you are keeping the Bud for you to smoke ,then a few seeds is not a massive problem late on ,its if you see them early ,and the plant starts producing seed rather than thc,But i was worried about it other day till i thought what does it matter its mine to smoke any how ,a few seeds won't hurt me .If your growing to sell to a Dispensary then i suppose its a problem ,but they should not be many,Just pick them out.

Plants grown from feminized seeds have a tendency to pop a male flower at the very end... Enjoy the bonus seed! I usually find a seed or two off of every feminized seed I pop... Now, if you get an ounce of seeds with no stress, then you can worry! You don't want to use the bonus seed for breeding in most cases but likely it will produce fine meds!

Thanks for the reply buddy.. yeah I am chalking it up to light leak and possibly stressing them in other ways. Just wanted to see what people thought on how the quality will turn out and what everyone recommended. Yeah I don't think they are a ton by any means and like I said before only on the lower bud sites. There's forsure more than 3-4 spots where I see them super bummed regardless. Looks and smells amazing I guess I should be happy it didn't happen sooner Worst case scenario is that they are riddled with seeds inside the buds and then I'll just blast it all

Yeah I don't have any plan at all to use the seeds as they will likely turn up next time around with seeds in my final product and probably more. I don't think there will be hardly any weight of seeds hardly at all. Thanks for the response and your soothing words I will sleep well tonight now

when I want to make fem seeds here I allow a bud or two to mature past the done date. More times than not my strains show a small
stamen, a yellow finger in the bud, not balls. healthy plants will contain small amounts of pollen in these yellow fingers and can be used to pollinate selected buds of other strains. All mine since 2008 have been females, because this pollen contains no male genes. its called rodelization. I get rogue seeds if I miss this expression. I know all of my surprise seeds are healthy females so I keep and label them when I see em.

Wow didn't know that I'll have to look into that more. So your saying these little white seeds will develope into a healthy femenized seed that I can then reuse 100%? Thanks for the feedback much appreciated

no, didnt say that. Some other factors will play into your seeding success lik;

when the fems were pollinated, too late and you'll end up with immature seeds likely not viable.
where the pollen originated- if it came from a stray ball , and was pollinated in time you'll likely end up with
seeds that make more hermaphrodites. You can correct this expression with some optic foliar/reverse if its worth it to you.

There a good chance you were in late flower and your seeds wont have the time to mature.

good luck

I'd rather them not mature fully at this point. 12 days untill she gets chopped. Thanks again to the reply!
