left in bud for too long

A freind of mine had a plant that was in flowering stage for two long and it has produced seeds my question is are these seed feminized, there is lots of other plants there this is the only one with seeds thanx in advance.

what?? you are making no sense

Its got seeds because the female got pollinated or it was hermaphrodite, the length of flowering has NOTHING to do with whether or not it makes seeds. I am guessing that parts of the 1 plant went hermie and seeded itself? That doesn't necessarily mean they are feminized seeds, theres alot more to it than that.

did the pollin come from a hermy or where they growen from seed and or did some pollen from male get in..
just because they where flower too long does not mean female seeds..
in some strian if they flower to long they bananas on top of buds
they are pollin sacks...
but i done think they could drop pollin soon enought to get mature seeds

wat!?

another!

there was no males around or the whole cropp would be filled with seeds. So I must have been a hermie what would cause this was it a mistake on his part or was it unavoidable. are the seeds any good or will they just produce hermies.

stress during veg or flower or back and forth can cause a herm, or bad genetics.

If it was a hermie, it was probably due to stress. Light schedule getting messed up or temps (heat-stress). There's also a possibility it could be genetic. It usually takes at least 5 weeks for seeds to mature, if they're green instead of a mottled brown they probably aren't viable. I also think if the mother was a hermie there's a good chance the seeds will produce hermies, you'd have to try the seeds to see how likely they were to turn. The bad thing with hermies (and why I pull them) is they produce pollen which can screw up an entire grow. A couple other things, are you sure there are seeds? some strains will get really fat calyx's from resin and look like it has seeds. If you were around any males you can end up with pollen on your clothes or if you ever had males before and didn't wash down your grow area between crops, there could be some pollen lingering. In my opinion, I think if you left a plant grow until it died, it would tend to self-pollinate to keep the species alive, but you would be way past the point of diminishing returns (the trichomes would have been all amber weeks prior). Of course maybe I had to much to smoke and I'm just bouncing random incoherent thoughts around.

if you had a male around your whole crop would no be all seed if he was able to drop little bit of pollen..
but you said no males
so it was ahermii which can be caused from light strees and streess in general
i had a hermii went off by just rotating the pot so the seed from her was unusable.
but if it was just a little pollen and a few seed and good bud and you are in need of seed i would ttry them.. maybe not the whole crop but a few that you will know
i would say they are fem seed but others will have different ideas

Soma's version of making feminized seeds. - Cannabis.com Forums Message Boards - Medical Marijuana, Cannabis Club, Dispensary, News

One way to make feminized seeds is to let them flower too long, they make feminized pollen sacks I don't think its too inconceivable that it pollinated itself with them.

actualy a female plant does produce seeds if left to long. it thinks it is the end of the season and ties to reproduce itself by producing yellow flowers in the buds and then pollinates itself. it could be a hermie, they usualy wont show till neer the end also. whatever it is i hope you moved it away from the others. it is still smokable

yes they grow little bannanas on top of bud, i metion it in one of my earler post..but it would not have had time to drop pollin and make mature seeds

do we know that they were all the same age. i agree with you but mabee some were further along than the others.

the plant was started last november then put outside I don,t know when the plant matured but when I saw it All the hairs were redish brown isn't that a sign that the the plant is fully matured?

could be the heat. you want to look at the trich`s not the hairs. i had some turn red 2 weeks into flowering cause of heat

what am i looking for

dont understand. you said it seeded so it`s over for it isn`t it?

i think he is taking about the trich where /what they are..my self i go 75% indoors or when the veg room is full.
i do rotation garden.finisied plant every week..
outside i go by hair coulor as well and wheather since we have very short growing season...
only since i came to this site i have got more intrested on trich think
but my bud is dam good the way i do .not checking for cloudyness..
you finish bud long enough you get an eye for it

i just look at it and know when to pluck. like you said experience

i look for an over all colour change in the buds. they will go amberish looking when it happens you should see what i`m talking about. but it depends on the high you want also. the longer you leave it the more couch lock it is and the less time is more a head high, energetic
