Can genetics cause seeds?

can genetics cause female plants to see or does it HAVE auto get pollenated?
May sound like a dumb question, but last night somebody said they think this plant is growing a seed and it’s because of its genetics.
That’s not possible, is it?

It appears that plant pollinated itself. The result will be female seeds that may likely also have progeny that throw balls depending on why they did. Sometimes it is genetic and sometimes it's an environmental stressor like a light leak, too little/too much nutes, etc

For the ones that don’t have that, or at least not showing now, do you think they will get seeds as well?

It may, you have to hunt down the banners and take them off to prevent future pollen. It looks like you're still early in flower?

Pollen goes far and it does it fast. It's likely but probably immature seeds compared to the ones closer to the actual male flowers

Genetics can predispose a plant to hermie, and nanners can start creating seeds right away without any visible pollen. These are both genetically inheritable traits/tendencies.

They are not, breed me a hermie free strain.

What it is is that the hermie trait is hard wired into all genetics so all have the trait - certain strains and plants deal with stress better than others so this is the underlying factor.

Obviously no seed can be produced without pollination :-)

No seed can be produced without pollination, that’s what I was thinking which is why I was wondering if pollen somehow hit the plant. It’s not all the plants.
They aren’t making pollen sacs. It looks like actual seeds now. Not a bunch, but still

Whatever - keep any seeds to yourself please.

Yeah, it's pretty common, especially depending on the genetics to get a seed or two, even with really good genetics. Just look at it as a free fem seed that you can grow out later... I've personally only ever seen one or two strains that hermied really bad and cross pollinated my garden. Just know that if you grow these seeds to expect that, and if you give the seeds to someone else let them know what to expect... In general don't panic, nothing will get ruined if you see a seed or two here or there. Panic if you start to see like 10 seeds or more... Well, don't panic, just make an informed decision rather than chop for no reason...

You bet! Seriously that’s one major reason people end up on here “Is this a hermie?”

I’ve grown since the 1960’s and we knew then they could hermie. But I had maybe 3 before all these breeders came along. It was so rare that most growers I knew had never seen one.

Sorry, I’m a little slow. What do you mean? That there is a chance that everything could herm/ seed? Hope I didn’t butcher what you just said lol

Cannabis can hermie. But people who don’t know or care get seeds and start giving them away or trading or so on. This only helps spread plants with s higher chance of turning hermie than seeds from stable strains. Basically a lot of people see $eed$.
