Harvest early since it's a hermie?

Ok guys,

Need your advice since this is my first grow.

I have one plant, now over 6 feet tall, and she was doing GREAT in our mudroom (enclosed little room for dumping shoes and stuff) as it's almost like a greenhouse..lots of windows, heat, etc..

I had to move her upstairs to a tall closet for the 12/12 and soon it became apparent that when she was awake she wasn't going to get the same sun. I just have been pulling her out in the morning and of course growth has slowed. But there are still some good buds. Mostly amber on a lot of them, etc..but she turned hermie on me!
I can see little tiny seeds in my buds and wonder if it's best to harvest a bit early, before too much energy goes into plumping up the seeds.

Will be last grow for a bit, too risky here. Lots of traffic, rental inspections, and a nosy landlord

So..harvest early with little seeds, or finish (9 weeks of 12/12 now) and pick out the seeds?
Help me out guys, I'm a little lost.

Gracias!

well... you can let it grow out and make hash out of it and save the seeds for another grow... just a thought.
good luck

If the seeds were just spotted, shouldn't be too bad if I harvested tonight, would it?

No more grows and not interested in the seeds...

are you sure it a hermie? if all your seeing is what looks like seeds you may be seein the normal swelling of the calyx's.

if its a hermie you will have male flowers. do you have male flowers?

Oh yes, lots of the little fuckers. I pulled as many off as I could find, but man, I was doing it for over 2 hours and I know I didn't get them all.
Shit, I gave so much attention to this plant, I don't know how this could have slipped the radar!

No more grows for now. We rent, the landlady is always over, plus we have rental inspections. That was fun, the last one. Had my baby in her dark room, and just threw a ton of dirty laundry in front of it. The lady inspecting STILL wanted to open the door and have a looky but I said, please, it's laundry day, let it be...the rest of the house is fine.
Growing is fun and educational, but shit, not worth getting busted over for a plant, finding a new place to live...crap, lol!

So I was putting a lot of importance on this one baby. She has a ton of crystals so I know SOME THC is there...just not interested in seeds...I can order from Amsterdam to get those. (we are not far away)

Just wanted some good, decent, relatively good yeild, as the economy is so bad can't really justify buying when we are broke...

Also, forgot to mention...I can see seeds in about 50% of the buds...and I know energy will now go into their growth..just thought that if I caught it early enough, just small seeds at harvest time..

if you harvest now you will probably not have as many full grown seeds. but you will have little specs of seeds that were starting to form in the calyx with undeveloped trichomes along with a heady short high.

if you wait it out, you will have a lot more full grown seeds with ripe trichomes and maybe a better high/stone.

how long has it been flowering? about how many weeks into flowering did it begin to pollinate itself?
any pics?
