Alright fellas I could really do with someone havin a look at these babies.. All female ww at 5 and a half week flowering. First ever grow. Found some nanners last week but had all opened. Took em off sprayed the girls down. Only found a couple since, ordered reverse so waiting for that. But question is has these girls been taken over with seeds in there buds or are they calyxs. Thanks in advance
Is this seeded bud?? Help if ya don't mind

yes seeded. i cant tell nyoui how seeded tho. you know you can alway peel a calyx open slightly to get a peek, or even crush one to feel if its got something inside.
That's what I thought, it's over quite a few popcorn size buds. I did open one and it was like a little white/ green ball that burst liquid. Cheers mate. Some have thick white hairs coming out some have orange/brown hairs coming out. Still got about 3 weeks flowering to go! Do you think they'd be matured by then?

Yep...you got seeds on them buds....It will be close to getting the seeds to mature....taking into consideration that the seed is well into its was of developement.....in three weeks pick one off and check it....color , size ETC.....if your gonna try to keep the seeds....you might give the plants an extra week to give the seeds a tad more time to develope.........those plants hermied on you early and it went un detected.....sometimes its hard to spot the suckers....shit happens
Thanks for that. Just looked over my garden and mostly seeded some without. I don't mind a few seeds but not this many. If I spent aload of time taking em off, would I do it before or after drying? Will my bud still be a good smoke where there has been seeds? Nice amounts of crystals still forming on the buds and leaves. Just a total novice at growing, want to finish it anyway. Had 2 black sugars as freebies and one if these is mostly seed and where I found most of the nanners so I'm thinking this is the culprit maybe. Should I finish it early and get it out or is it way too late. Sorry for all questions.

the buds won't be too bad just make sure to dry and cure properly and they'll smell and taste good (as long as you don't pack a seed)lol, I would also take the hermie out cause it will keep spreading pollen and after the grow I'd spray the room down with water cause water kills pollen and you don't want that pollen fucking up your next grow.

Yeah clean the crap out of the grow space first with bleach wipes then water. You need to figure out why the plants hermi'd on you. Most likely from heat stress. What are the temps in the grow space? I had an Agent Orange hermi on my at the end on my last grow and I got super lucky not to find any more than 3 under developed seeds.
Thanks all. Yeah I assumed it would be a bit late for reverse when I checked at a lot of bud places are holding immature seeds. Thanks for advice and will def be using reverse next time before too late. Hoping I can salvage some good smoke. My temps weren't too great for about a week where they hit 82 but I've seen worse. Stable at 78 now and drops to about 62 Ish when off. Good air movement and exhaust fan. Not too high on humidity. I'm thinking that black sugar was a hermie but genetics and cos I'd never grown before I just didnt notice.
Very weird and wonder if anyone has tried this. I've just read a post where some one had a female turn hermie. They pulled seeds out and sprayed with reverse and saturater and within 7-10 days all female parts grew back and he harvested a non seeded female. I'm curious if this is possible or would it not cause more stress cutting all seeds out and hermie anyway? Hmmm.

Instead of reversing a plant, why not figure out what stress caused it to show male flowers?
imo it is usually over feeding and heat.

each pistil has 2 hairs... so if you lucky 2 seed per "womb"(calyx)
the little white green balls are embryo you baby killer!jk.
3 weeks is perfect

you missed the other big one, inconsistent watering method.(not just over feeding, but that saturation level as well as switches in nutrition. ect.)
Just because it hermies doesn't mean he did something wrong it could be in the genes of his plants. This the main reason I do my own clones cuz too often when I try new strains I get hermies in those particular plants and not in my tested and proven strains I keep on my lineup

I might have one strand that always produces seeds I would dump the strand but it produces 2 times as much just as fast as outhers. what I do is I harvest a bit early before the seeds have a chance to produce, as long as the triclodes are mixed ill chop sarafice some strength to no seeds, im talking 7 week instead of 8 or 9 weeks mabe you can do the same, but like I always say is full of total bull shit I only grow hot peppers
Thanks all, they did have a bit of stress at the start of 12/12 as at times id forgot about lights etc, but got it all sorted quickly. Obviously damage was done. Sorry for all questions. After going over it all a lot seems seeded but for someone that has only smoked dried bud and not grown it before its hard working out what part is seed to swollen calyx without opening them all. I've zoomed in on a pic and is it this cluster of 4 with a white line that resembles a seed and slightly open?
