you have hermaphrodites, something stressed your ladies and caused them (most likely cause is a light leak in the dark period)
Your grow will be ruined by them as they will dump pollen and make seeds not resin.
I don't see anything in those pictures though ?

They may have been predisposed to herm due to genetics - nothing you can do about that one except deal with it.
Mist the sites down well with water and start plucking them off. Get them all if you can.
Seeds do not "ruin" the bud - the plant is just doing what it can to reproduce, its natural. If heavily seeded, the bud potency will be reduced but no reason to "chuck em" at week 8.
Live and learn.

Don't know genetics, bag seed....why mist'em down???
You mist the sites before you pluck them to avoid spreading any pollen as you move about the plants.
Moisture keeps the grains from floating around in the air and finding receptive pistols, and is said to "Kill" the pollen.

It's not uncommon for a room full of females to hermie near the end of their lives.

The females want nothing more than to pass on their genetics through seeds. If it hasn't been polinated and is nearing death, it will hermie in a final attempt at producing seeds.
