it is totally possible for unpollinated buds to produce seeds. certain genetics do that as a last hope to reproduce. ive read/seen it in tons of grow videos and books. cant recall them of course. i will if i think of it.

Yes this is when female plants spits out ballsacks to make sure its survival after overflowering stress or ph issues. there is no such thing as seeds without pollen. even hermie seeds have 2x kromosomes, its impossible without the right amount of kromosomes.

you can't get seeds without pollen. A real female with no hermie sign can still be force to make some pollen if sprayed with silver thiosulfate or colloidal sylver it's how they make all-females seeds

I thought colloidal silver caused herms. Barring some miracle of immaculate conception I don't see how it would be possible.

as bizarre as it sounds, there may be some mechanism for this to occur, seeds without hermie blooms
not saying it has happened in cannabis, some variation on parthenogenesis

so not to sound way out there or anything but jorge cerventas has discussed the fact that streamlines(winds on a global scale) carry 200,000+ ppm of cannabis pollen all over the world. Now having said that, just because there are no males around doesn't mean you plant didn't get pollinated.

ah ha ha LUV IT!

Jesus Weed!

I have read it every where (because I have been searching for answers), all over the internet, Ed's book, here at RIP re: Females that throw a few seeds at the end of their life cycle.

One thing NO ONE says is, "what to do about it".

Take 'em early to preserve what potency is there before they put more energy in to seeding? (if that even matters at this stage)
or...
Leave 'em alone to finish (mine has about 6-13 days left)?
or...
anyway, I can't find that part. Glad you guys posted here tho so TY! :)
