I have 3 plants that are about 2 weeks into flowering stage. All three plants are budding great, but they are now producing what looks like pollen or seed sacks under the buds. Are they hermies or just pollinated females? I did have 3 other plants that turned out to be male so I removed them from the growroom about 10 days ago.. Help Please.
Polinated females or hermaphrodites????

The sacks on the males could have opened up and pollen coulda been in the air still, never under estimate mothernature 
i have 3 plants, and all 3 are showing "what i think is" signs of both sex's.... they have good growing buds and also pollen sacks growing on the nodes below some of the buds.... this is a herie right??? is it normal for 3 out of 3 plants to go hermie... they are all three differents strains...

It isn't normal for sure but it may happen. Did they go through any major stress? Are you sure there are no light leaks during their dark period? Where did you get the seeds? How's the proportion of female/male parts? Post some pics so that we can see what you have there.
i cant get pics on at the moment..... i did not realize the impotance of keeping the dark period absolutely dark, so i believe the plants had some light leaks... the buds are growing great, although some of them are now producing seeds since they pollinated themselves... the weird thing is that the plants have stopped growing the male seed sacks... they seem to have reverted back to normal once i fixed the light leaks... will the bud on these plants be any good... they look great except for a few seeds here and there...!

youll be alright, watch for the pollen sacks carefully and carefully pull off any you find, if you eleminated the stress that caused it and do that they should stop making the male flowers.

how badly are they pollinated? that will be a big factor. can you get pics up at all? if so im willing to wait a bit and look them over for you.

Ive come across some frosty ass buds with seeds in it, still no good. Usually only the spots on the plant with seeds has its potency affected, and since u somewhat reversed the problem u shouldnt get too many seeds. Overall your buds can range from decent to great, u shouldnt worry as long as there is no more stress.
sorry no pics.... one of the plants got pollinated real bad, on it most of the lower buds are completely overtaken by seeds, but the top, main, buds arnt to bad..
the other 2 plants did not get pollinated very bad... they have maby 3 seeds in 4 inch long buds... and the buds look great

that sucks. it sounds worse than i thought. Might as well kill the bad ones and maybe even the others that got pollinated that you dont believe went hermie since their is a decent chance they too are hermies but they just havent went hardcore hermie yet.
