Hermie Problem

[LocalKushMen]

this is my first time growing in coco. this is also my first time growing photoperiod plants indoors. I'm using coco choir and perlite mix from Plagron and 4-4-4 and 3-9-4 organic dry amendments from dr. earth. I'm using 300w led lights. The temps in the tent are 77 degrees and humidity is around 45% i'm watering with ph 6,0. I have 5 plants in the tent 3 are in coco and 2 are in soil. all the plants in coco are starting to develope seeds but the ones in soil seem to be fine. can you please help me understand why this happened and how do I prevent it in the future. I'll answer all your questions to help me determine the cause of this.

Im not too sure whats going on here mate but I've never had any luck with coco myself, my plants kept growing balls or just growing shit, you tried biobizz light mix ? I've stuck to that the last two years not had any problems

Yes I've been growing outdoor with biobizz for the last 5 years with decent results. but I saw Mr. canucks chanell on youtube and he seems to have great success with coco and organic dry amendments so I decided to try it. it went pretty good until I saw the plants are growing seeds

Are they all the same strain ?

No 2 of them are WWXBB from female seeds and 1 is Early Girl from sensei seeds

Could also just be down to bad genetics

I see what could be seeds but when I zoom in the images are to blurry to see if they actually are seeds. Cut one or two in half and get better pictures. I've seen pistils fill a calyx in balls and look like seeds. But if your soil plants are in the same room and are the same genetics as your coco plants why aren't they sprouting seeds as well. I assume you have a fan on your grow and that usually help pollen travel.

Anyway a better picture please.

I took some more pics and yes they are definitely seeds not calyxs. I did have one random bag seed plant that sprouted bananas (thats the plant in photo below) which I removed immediately when I saw it so maybe that plant pollinated the others but then why would only the plants in coco be affected and not the ones in soil. and yes I do have a fan blowing on the floor. If I leave the plants with seeds in the tent will the pollinate the others in soil or no?

Also does anyone have any ideas about what to do with the hermie weed If I decide to grow them out. can I make brownies with the hermies or maybe use the buds for finger hash?

Any chance you HST'd those plants and didn't the others?

I did do quite a bit of defoliation but I did that on all the plants

Hmmmm... bizarre. The genetics are probably prone to herm in a condition that you had going on is all I can think. But my knowledge is intermediate at best on this altho I did HST plants that I think caused herm.

Where the plants in coco closer to the herm? Anyway keep watching the ones in soil. Either way plants fine to smoke with seeds I just wouldn't use them for breeding. But growing and smoking them if that's the only seed you have, why not?
