Is there a way of telling if your plants been pollinated?

Just pulled one calyx of each of my plants and found a tiny green looking seeds (is this normal) in the middle and thought they might be pollinated. Recently found ONE pollen sack on one of my homafs but that's it, can't help but worry as this is my first grow. Any help?

Yeah that doesn't help at all, for all I know these small looking seeds could be normal but don't turn into full seeds unless pollinated (imagine the female anatomy, it produces eggs but doesn't fully work until fertilized does it?) Unless you've got something useful too say please don't bother ok. Anyone else?

If you are finding small green looking seeds in your calyx's etf then your plant has been pollinated.


When not pollinated there wouldn't be anything inside.


A pic would help to say for sure.

Alright. The thing is I found this male flower yesterday, it wasn't open nor grown much at all. I'm growing sensi seed skunk autos, fem of course but I'm seeing this in a state that maybe this is normal.. I'm going too check my seedlings pre-flowers too see if they alike aswell. I don't see why three plants would be pollinated by a ONE new male flower which hasent opened, or is this common?

From what I've read this is an undeveloped, unfertilized seed, anyone care too say thy;re right too say this is wrong?

Your wrong. Seeds can't get fertilized. Plants get pollinated and then produce seeds. You probably had a banana earlier and didn't catch it. Those mature seeds will be female with a hermie tendancy

I've had many odd seeds in feminised grows. Only ever seen proper male flowers once though. Seems like some of these fems can produce seeds without full pollination - possibly as maybe only one or two male flowers appear. It certainly hasn't effected the quality of the weed in my experience.

If you've seen and found a male flower (banana) then this is all it takes to pollinate a few buds.

I've had some male flowers before and my crop WAS NOT ruined. A few seeds here and there but nothing major.

HOWEVER after that grow completed I bleach cleaned everything including walls floors and ALL equipment to try to get rid of any male pollen lying around.

ya bro think back ten days before you see your first male flower and try to remember what went on did it get way to hot did you leave them to dry out do you have a tiny light leak i would guess the later is there more then one and where is it on the plant u gota understand that even a tiny little red bulb in a timer can make some strains throw male flowers you can keep up with a few but dont let the plant stay if you stat seeing alot of male flowers cause it will just get worse with seeds that is thank god for bubble bags and if you rule every thing out and i was a herm from sex you should have already pitched it cause its not a stable strain and it could fuck your garden up with a bunch of bs seeds

Alright, I'm using two 125w blur spec cfls and one 600w hps, from what I've read this is normal, all female plants will grow seed like mater inside the calyxes, but these are unfertilized seeds which will grown into buds.... From what it seems the rest of my plants are doing well and stink out, let's just hope you're all wrong...

Good idea that. One I will be following at the end of my current grow. Get everything rot related out of their too.
