ok the picture just shows it on the roof of the room and your plants look like they are 3 or 4 ft tall , 8ft room or so
I took the picture standing up high looking down but for sure the closest tops are 27" in. From the light and they're also getting direct light from outside. They get too hot if it's any closer

You noticed the fan blew the most pollen closest to the fan. The source is either that plant or another nearby. The fan did not cause the herm if that is part of your question.
Yes thank you. What do you think about the picture. Could it just be genetics that a couple of them produced seeds. I don't see any real signs of Male parts just a couple pollinated sacks.

probably , its either user error or genetics this becomes a debate. im in week 7 and week 4, my week 7 ethos popped actually balls at week 5 and pollinated the whole thing. but temps dipped into 50s for 2 days. not sure if that was the root cause or if ethos is to blame, either way I fixed the cold issue

During the dark period, if any light brighter than moonlight is on the plants, they have potential to herm. Does any light come through the window or anywhere in the room during the dark period?
In the closet I had seedling vegging under 150w led. I tried to deal it off but there was a small amount of light coming in. I've since moved those lights and they're completely dark. I didn't think it was enough light to hurt anything because I figured it couldn't be any brighter than the moon.

Did you make it to harvest? Did you do anything to stop the pollination?

That looks gorgeous. Mine are super sugary already and it has only been in glower for two and a half weeks. 12/12 for about 3 and a half. It's a little early I think to be having these issues if I expect to make it to 8 weeks. What do you think?

I think I'm going to push through and try to monitor mine and remove anything that seems remotely Male or pollinated as long as I can
yep pretty much dont wanna trash the time spent its a hard call and most people will tell you to start over. I definitely recommend cleaning up at end of run before next to eliminate pollen on walls fans ducting

How can you tell that's pollinated cause I cant
You've already seen the difference - pistils darken and recede when a calyx has been pollinated.

Welcome to the world of poly-hybrids!

I just flipped my crop and expect to see balls on the lowers of some of these strains. Cultazapam by cult classics is a prime candidate because a true hermaphrodite has already been culled.
