dont look ready to me the only way i really found out was by useing a microscope but ive only grown indica so waybe its not the same i know some stavias need less than 12 hours of light to really mature up.
also some sativa's can take 16 weeks and if not nearly ready shes very low on nictrogen by the looks of it and if you counted from flip always add a week or 2.

I have just found a yellow ball in my bud so I chopped it off and popped it it's a seed is this something to be worried about? As you guys know I'm 10 weeks since 12 12 switch.. and looks like they have abit more in them to go??? What shall I do
yes unless you want seeds as its a hermaphrodite so the seeds you get should be feminised so all female its either bad genetics or had been stressed to the point it become a hermaphrodite also when a plant makes seeds its put effort into makeing them so your thc will suffer.

Just let it grow and finish. If there will be seeds then there will be seeds. Some people feel seeded weed is actually more potent because the plant puts efforts into protecting the seeds by producing more resin, and by producing different cannabinoids.

It’s way easier to remove mature or mostly mature seeds then it is to remove immature seeds. If you cut now you will loose yield and quality and still have the seeds... if you wait you get the yield and better smoke in-spite of the seeds which exist either way.

I don’t see any signs from the pictures you’ve posted. Keep your eyes peeled for little yellow banana looking growths. That is what late flower pollen sacs look like. But even then just pluck them off at this point. You don’t want to harvest early just because of little things like this.

so that’s not a yellow banana picture 2 top of bud and how else is it growing seeds if there’s no male there no magic pollen fairy so has to be male and female no?

I’ve had 2 plants one with seeds one without I felt the weed with seeds was lacking in strength but yeah by no means cut it down.

Nope thats a yellow bract in the picture. If there is infact seeds, its possible there was some pollen sacs that formed weeks ago, and got missed. Its also possible the plant could have swollen ovules which commonly get mistaken for seeds.

Its very possible the one with the seeds needed more time to properly finish ripening or its possible it was a different phenotype that would have been weaker from the start.

Deffo seed thundercat because I popped it with my fingers and a seed popped out, I cant see anymore though, hopefully gets through without lots forming.
