Is this plant going Herm on me? It was looking good until these little round pods appeared.
This was bagseed so no big surprise I suppose.

It looks like it's already seeded.

Afraid you're right. I just didn't see anything round like that until this week.

The round shiny bits in the meridian of the pic. One towards the top the other towards the bottom. Those are what seeds in bud look like.

Oh ok. Those look like leaves to me, I've seen little short (sometimes curled) shinny leaves like that while trimming. Well sorry op if you're seeded

Not a hermaphrodite, you're good and it looks like nice stuff. I can't tell if it's seeded or not.
If they are seeds the plant was fertilized at least 3-4 weeks ago. No evidence of smaller seeds. We're also not seeing male flowers. It's possible another plant threw the pollen. If they do turn out to be seeds I'd closely inspect the other plants in the grow room since the pollen could as easily come from them. Normally I'm happy to have a few seeds, if they came from a true male. I almost always toss seeds that come from hermies. I might not in this case, if they're caused by stress. For bag seed the plant looks outstanding, very frosty. If it smells good too hopefully you have a clone of it to keep the line. Or are able to re-veg it. If not the hermie seed might be worth sprouting to at least keep the genetics. Unless it's hopelessly throwing male flowers that are going to ruin your next grow.
My vote goes for those not being seeds although it's very hard to tell from the picture. I agree that they're funky shiny leaves although a couple of them look seed-like. You can see different stages of growth, smaller leaves, a couple of seed-shaped ones, and bigger ones. There's also large calyxes covered in frost towards the top that are seed-shaped, could possibly contain a seed. Usually when the seed gets big enough the calyx will split and you'll see the seed inside. Either way you should be able to examine it closer to see if they're really seeds.
