Goji OG Harvest Looks Frosty, But I Found Seeds, Not Sure Why. Am I Ruined?

About 3 weeks before harvest the pH in my PPK Hydro setup shot up to 7.0 due to salt build-up in my medium. I was not able to figure it out and correct it in time. Since the plant was already stacking and had lots of trichome frost I let the plant finish while sitting in 7.0 ph water and it turned very purple while finishing which i think was due to phosphorous being locked out due to high pH.

Would this high pH cause enough stress for my plant to make seeds? I am trying to figure out how i got seeds when i dont have any males. The buds look great imo but then again this is only my second grow so im not entirely sure if my opinion is valid or not.

here is a photo of a random nug i pulled out a jar


and heres what she was looking like before chop:



did she get seeds from being stressed as a result of high pH??

Im hesitant to accept donations from patients if them finding seeds in my harvests will ruin my reputation. Is it okay to give patients frosty buds that have some seeds every now and then? I burned through maybe an ounce and have found about 10 seeds so far.

Do you have mature seeds? If so they were very likely pollinated earlier during flower cycle than you think. I believe it takes roughly 6 weeks for seeds to fully develop.

I would generally gladly buy slightly seeded bud at a discount. Many folks would not tolerate beans in their flowers.

Did you have any other plants that could have hermed on you? Have you run this cut before?

bet there's nanners you can't see underneath all that. sucks.

thanks for your response first of all!

the seeds dont appear to be mature. a lot of them are pretty small and white-ish. so i think they started forming later on in flower? My salt build-up didn't start showing symptoms until late in flower. A big reason why high pH is the only reason i can think of for it forming seeds? This is the only plant in the flower room. No males are in my veg room either. i have run this cut as a 6-inch plant outdoors and it came out great wit no seeds. But then again that was a 6-inch plant because it was a clone i took from a seedling and i threw it outside to flower so i can identify its sex.

i did think of another possible scenario of it forming seeds. My veg room has multiple clones of this same cut and they are extremely root bound cuz they have been in solo cups for about 4 months now lol. I need to get around to transferring them into bigger homes i know. anyway, about a month or two after being rootbound they seemed to go into flower even though they were under 18/6 lighting. well not full bloom flower but they started forming trichomes and flowers but they wouldnt branch out at all. but i definitely dont see any male flowers forming on them.

In that case, i can see a massive ph swing causing nanners. Bummer.

dont nanners gnerally look like yellow bananas?

i harvested about 12 ounces off one plant. I trimmed all of it over the course of 4 days. I didn't see anything unusual. I didnt even notice any seeds while trimming they seem to be hidden inside the damn nugs haha i dont find them until i go to smoke the nugs

some more harvest pics FWIW

Yes, but often they will popup, release a bit of pollen, and become really hard to spot since calyxes will continue to form over them. Other times they are really prolific and are obvious and easy to spot.

On the other hand, you're lucky, you got some feminized Goji seeds.

The most common cause of herm issues is light leaks. I learned the hard way. Sit in your tent/room for 20 minutes during dark and then you’ll see if there are leaks.
