Ok im a bit confused because my plants have started producing seeds but they show no sign of being hermaphrodite (no male flowers) they are 8weeks into flower and i am seeing little green premature seeds within the bud not that many tho.

any help would be appreciated as im pretty confused to what is happening

Without pictures to be sure.... Its perfectly normal. Do they look like tiny bananas? They're probably not seeds, they're probably staminate flowers, some plants under certain conditions will do that near the end of the life cycle. Its part Of MJ survival mechanisim. 8 weeks into flower dont worry about it, you're practically there. Should just be flushing and lookin at trichs now.

Nah it probably won't affect them. Absolute worst case senerio you get a few feminized seeds. Wait...that would be a good thing lol. Enjoy your (soon) harvest!

If I find the article I read regarding this issue I'll post it. But I've personally seen these "bananas" and no problems came from them.

i'd remove the bananas right away.......if it opens up and spreads pollen your fucked, its probally too late in for it to matter but i'd just play it safe

Found it!
"Please note that occassionally specious staminate flowers will appear in the last days of flowering of a female Marijuana plant. These do not drop pollen and their appearance is not considered evidence of deleterious hermaphroditism."
