Does my bud look seeded?

not imo, i think its just in the process of receding/ripening so some of the calyxes look swollen compared to others
if it got exposed to pollen then yes haha

The calyxs have swelled alot over the last couple days and i did have a male in the room a couple weeks back before removing and destroying. Just making sure

Nothing obvious i can see either. If you're that curious you could always break a couple open and see. Otherwise what's done is done, no changing anything now.
If you removed the male before any pollen pods opened, i'd say you're fine.

Check the marked calyx. Looks seeded to me. Take a sharp object and run it along the seam of the calyx on the right side in the pic, see what's hiding in there. Or simply pluck the calyx and open it up.

Looks seeded . Pollinated not too long ago. Thinking there could be up to a dozen seeds starting in cola. Take some closeups top down so we can see the tops of the the calyx/bracht. When pollinated, you’ll first notice a white or yellowish stripe that runs across the top. Swelling starts soon and the stripe is where it opens eventually. But yea..you’re seeded

I opened a couple up and they seem empty or just more green plant matter in there, not sure what i was looking for, the pods are still pretty small

O I know the fear...I had a clone I got from a friend seed up on me the other week. 3 plants all the same clone herm'd up. They were heading into week 5 of bloom. They looked beautiful but I did start noticing some weird growth at week 2/3, tried to hold off but it was no mistaken by week 5 they were throwing seeds. Probably would have produced just under a lb from them but I had to chop, couldn't risk it.
Looking at yours I'd say they look like swollen calaxys but just keep a close eye on them and try not to freak out, it is what it is. Here's what mine looked like for a reference, mine was more of a indica strain were yours looks sativa leaning.

The small green ball inside each bracht is the ovule. I see stripes on the brachts though on some of them

You had actual pollen sacks everywhere

Looks to have been pollinated in the last week.
I added molasses the last time i watered about 4-5 days ago and the swelling seems to have coincided directly after. Not sure if that could be related.

Mine didn't have your typical visible nanners hanging on the bottom bud or between nodes in noticable spots. They were in the bud. When I cut down a cola and dissected a bud I saw the nanner clusters, some were in there good. That's why it can be tricky. Mine hermd out most likely due stress caused by a new mini split not working properly when temps outside dropped below 50, got it fixed now. I also had 10 of the same clones in veg that were huge about to go into flower. I could have let em ride now that the room was dialed in but I thought they were just to finicky and the fact that they threw seeds this much just wasnt worth the risk. Sucks, but it happens man.

Swollen calyx's and dying back pistils, usually only means one thing.

I knew something was up when I stopped getting pistils and it pretty much had no pistils. Granted I like bud not covered in red hairs, but this was a little different.

Once you've seen it, you will know if it happens ever again.

For sure. You can’t miss the look once you’ve seen it. The posters buds have been recently pollinated. I’ve spent so much time examining brachts that a recently pollinated plant is easy to identify. You don’t have to wait for the seed to swell up the bracht.

Show us the top side of those bracht/calyx. Not to be a downer but I’m sure you’ll find the stripes running across the top of them. That means seed is gonna be in there soon..
