I have 4 reserva privada headband females growing under 1000 watt, they are just starting week 6 of flower. These plants are looking fire, crystally as anything, extremely sticky, and overall very healthy, except for a few yellowing leaves towards the bottom. Sounds like smooth sailing until harvest, right?

Thats what i thought, until today. I found a green seed looking thing, sticking out of one of the main colas, no seed pod, just looks a single premature seed. So i examined the rest of the plants up and down, 8 plants in total (i also have 4 blue dreams going, about 4 weeks into flower). I turned up two more of these "seeds", both on another RP headband. I really don't know whats going on or whats causing it, or what the next step is, hoping for some help from the riu community. I tried to take a picture, but wasn't able to get a good shot.

The strain is definitely a winner, besides these seeds. I tried to get pics of it but it wasnt working out, ill try again when the lights go off in a few hours.

Any advice on my situation, could they be anything else? And if there are only 3, will the plants be effected in anyway? Ive experienced a hermie before but this seems to be different... like the plant was pollinated somehow.

I did come across a few nanners from plants I harvest about a week ago, could they have pollinated my plants? And would it make sense that only three branches were pollinated?

are these seed like monsters coming off of just one plant? personally if you have the room and equipment i would isolate them untill you know for sure your self bcz 1 plant gone is better then 8... my friend had a similar experience with fem seeds where he found a couple of seeds where appearing in his soil, they was dropping off the stems with out no pods. 2 weeks later the whole crop was hermies. but i dont want to worry you because his strain was a cheap genetics. as i said my advice would be to isolate the ones where you found them, and moniter the situation.

I can't put them in a separate room, would moving them away from the other plants in the same room make a difference?

i wouldnt think so. cos if you have air flow the pollen will travel regardless. try giving them a couple more days and if any more seeds start to appear i would separate them from the others asap, and dispose of them. theres 2 ways to look at this picture, its iver a bad apple from the seed bank or they has been some reason in your grow setup that has caused this.
