a few seeds in my buds, any chance they are fem?

I got a few seeds in my regular chemdog, I harvested the plant about 10 days before it being ready. My questions:

are the seeds ready if the bud wasnt fully matured?
what are the chance of them seeds being feminized? ( I guess the plant just hermied normally, no light leak or stress that I am aware of)

They will be either fem or hermy. To know if they're ready, try yourself

how long the seed has to dry before popping it in water?

The seeds coming from the hermaphroditic plant can still go three ways being another hermie, could be a male ( lowest chance not unless you do some environmental stress to make it lean to a male), and could be a female with no hermaphroditic tendencies. Ive had a hermie plant that just produced one seed and a buddy of mine took the seed and did the paper towel method to germinate the next day. The seed appeared dry. I am not sure if there is any info out there scientific or personal experience on how fast seeds can be ready after finding them in a harvest.

i know that kitchen...

i heard your supposed to put them in a bag of rice for a few days then you can go about it the normal way of germination...but check around a bit theres a lot of info on RIU...

I give my fresh seeds a good dry in a dark cool closet (like 2 weeks) then in the fridge. Not sure if the fridge is needed, but read it somewhere that they need a shot of cold to mimic winter(like apple seeds). 100% germination rate, so I stick to what works for me.

That makes sense. I wonder if it really is the case or not.

I looked at each buds carefully, out of 3 oz I got 17 beans, Ill probably find a few more but its not that bad, if they are fem I just saved myself a couple hundred $

I wouldn't bet the farm on them being femanized (not truly femanized that is). Whatever caused the seed can be carried over. If it was from a hermie flower due to stress, it can have not only the hermie trait, but also carry the trigger that caused it to hermie in the first place. There is also a remote chance stray pollen attached itself to you and hitched a ride to the first branch or so that you touched. I would still use them for personal smoke though. If you didn't make them seeded on your own terms, it's kinda a crap shoot on what you get.

yes its all personal use. And harvested too early coze I needed something to smoke. The other chemdog that was next to it seems fine, no seeds. I will inspect the other 4 plants close to being ready. I cant see how I would have gotten pollen in there. I wish the odds were better for fem seeds, the genetics was fine , it was up to 3+oz(dry...) when I chopped but it was still putting on weight, 12/12 from seed

I should have added to last post, it's more of a chance of femanzied if the hermie pollen sac was from a different plant. If the seed came from a hermie flower on same plant it decreases odds of femanized. Again, just for personal. Grow them up.

Sorry bout being long winded. Recently took a huge rip. lol
