I need your expert help. 1st, I'm indoors and use a soil mix, No problems with any other plant. I had been growing AK 48 with great success and then I added a new lighting system. I went from a 600w and a 400w to a 600w,(same one), and added a new 1000w that I turned down to 600watts. The room is the same temperature, because I added a venting system, (blower going thru both lights and vented outside), Everything is the same except for lights and then here comes the problem. My AK 48 now is producing seeds at the end of it's cycle, just before harvest, (8 to 9 weeks, according to trichomes), it isn't a Hermi, isn't male, No pollen has been here or even near here. Other plants in the room are Perfect!! My question to you, Please, is this, Could it be possible that my plant likes a little shade, or Not so much 'Sunlight'??? I know that I have learned from my wife that some of her outdoor plants only like shade, while others like Full sunlight. That is why I'm asking this, I water every 4 days with plenty of water, that is how long it takes for the top of the soil to get dry, nutrients the same as before. Everything is the same as before except for a little more lighting. The other plants in the room, Siberian and OG Kush, are doing great, haven't harvested them yet, but they Look awesome, AK 48's looks great, then seed just before harvest.... I believe stress related. Now, what you got for me??....haha... and Thanks guys, I appreciate your help....Caregiver777.

Then why aren't the others affected?? The only plants that start to seed real close to harvest is the AK 48's, No others, (3 different types), that's why I believe that it must be stress related.....anything else??? Thanks... and yes, just a few, not anything like a male, but a lot for a female, usually at the bottom of the bud....

Whatever it is it sounds like some genetic trait of your ak-48. Sounds like a nanner to me. what do the seeds look like?

They are nice brown seeds with black stripes on them just as if you purchased them.... the other plants right next to them are unaffected so I don't believe it pollonated anything, in fact, I know it hasn't because it didn't start doing this until I added more lighting. And this plant is the only one doing it, plus all the clones I take from these AK 48's, I had 8 AK's, they all grew seeds at the end of the flowering cycle, right before harvest. The other 3 strains right next to them, No seeds, that is why I believe it is Stress related. Thank you.

You dont always see the nanners but thats the only way the plant got seeds is if it had nanners. Sometimes the nanners grow inside the bud kinda well the bud grows around them and you get a nanner inside the bud very difficult to see IMO thats what happend with your AK 48. I had a plant that did this from stress i harvested most of the plant after it had been in the dark for 3 days harvested the tops and put the bottom buds outside to fatten up to see how the plant would respon it kept flowering but started forming nanners but the calyx (white hairs grew around them) Its better in my opinion to have a nanner inside a bud go off than to have one outside of the bud go off that could explain why your plant has seeds and the others dont. A plant doesnt just make seeds cause its stressed it need pollen. thats like saying you got your girlfriend pregnant by spanking her. She got stressed and knocked up from a spanking with no seed involved. Doesnt sound plausible does it cause its not you need pollen to make a seed.

Thanks Man, Nobody was answering me and I was getting disappointed.... that makes sense to me, so I'm off to kill some AK, good thing it didn't affect the others, and I keep cloning the same problem over and over.... I didn't know that you couldn't get your girl pregnant by 'Just' spankings either....I'm gunna have a 'Talk' with her Now!
.....haha
