Need Advice for Seed Pods/nanners?? Pictures included. Really lost

Hello Fam!

So, I just finished one of my highest yielding runs. We have 2 strains a Gelato and a LCG. The LCG was only 27 trees. The LCG gave us a lot of PODs, but we hit 3 a light with the grow. However, I'm not sure and I'm scratching my head why the pods came about. They're inside the nugs, they're light green. Here is my complete week by week guide and the notes I wrote down.

The product came out beautiful, smells amazing, weight is there and everything is on point. However, one of the 2 strains was filled with light, green, pods. No seeds at all.

Any help would be much appreciated as I want to prevent this completely. Ask me any and all questions you please.

I'm using Gavita 1700e LEDs

Grow Notes:

Veg 1 - 5 weeks: We waited for dry back, then watered. By week 4 of Veg the plants were eating .5 gallons almost daily wih dry back.

At the end of every week of flower we flushed.
Flower: week 1 - 4 plants were eating .5 gallons daily, then every other day.
End of Week 3 flower we pruned.
2 days into Week 4 of flower we de-leafed.
Didn't touch the plants after.
Flower week 5 - 6: Plants slowed down eating.
Flower week 6 - 8: 30 plants out of 97 were eating daily .5 gallons. The rest were eating every other day, or even every 3 days. They stopped eating as much, the pots had MUCH less dry back.
Flushed 3 days, lights off 2 days then chopped.

Overall plants didn't show stress in leaves, or colors, but we did notice that by end of week 6 the majority of the room was not eating.

Need to see a picture of what you're talking about. Are you talking about caylxes? Male flowers? if there's no seeds in "the pod", then it's just an unfertilzed caylx.

Picture is worth a thousand words..

What's up @HydoDan & @Phytoplankton ! I've posted a picture of me grinding it up. If you zoom in and look around you'll see it. They were green, and inside had nothing. I did see new white hairs towards end of week 7 beginning of week 8 time range. I don't know if these would turn into seeds or not, but it was inside the nugs. I also notice a bunch beneath the nugs on the bottom of the nug kind of like the bud didn't fully form or something.

Here is a couple more... I know these pix don't do justice, but I hope it gives an idea. It is all around individual nugs.

Can't tell much from the pics.. Nanners maybe?

Bad pics...

Looks like calyxes that didn’t get exposed to light, so the chlorophyll didn’t developed and they stayed yellow. Just like new growth is light for a few days until the chlorophyll develops. Looks pretty normal to me.

Thank you all for the input. I will try to upload more picks tonight in a couple of hours.

@HydoDan - I didn't notice anything like nanners on any of the product.

I've been advised my CO2 is too high from week 6 - 8. Or, my Light Intensity is too high and it's causing some stress.

I've also been advises that it is "Unless you stress it to Hermi it’s probably just calyx trying to get pollen and when there’s no Paul and they just a hollow. It’s a stress my best guess would be light intensity." However, I don't know what could've stressed it other then Light Intensity, or co2.

I would lean more toward the beginning of rodelization. Panicked growth at the end of flower, when NOT pollinated. Given time she would have thrown sacs to try to preserve her genetics herself. Not atypical in monoecious plants.

this makes so much sense. What would cause this? It was only an 8 week run.

picture up in 20 mins

Here are the pictures.

I think I’ve nailed it to a few things.

light intesity
Lights to close to canopy
Cold temperature at nigjt
And potentially light leak during dark period

seems like I had nanners and plants were pollinated

my course of action is

bleach the whole room every inch to eliminate pollen of left over

monitor light leaks which I have an idea of the source

lower light intensity

distance the leds higher from the canopy

please let me know if I’m on the right track.

May just be genetics. Clones are proven hermie free?

Yes, I checked them through out the whole run. Calayx with white pistil. I checked everything all the time.

Anyone? Am I in the right place? I'm desparate!

@HydoDan & @Phytoplankton - I've mosted some high quality pictures. hope this helps.

Any others take a look at these images? I can't identify what the issue is.

Unfortunately we can't know why your specific plant or plants hermed in retrospect. Sometimes it's just genetic and you can treat the plant perfectly and you still get seeds or nanners. Clean the tent thoroughly with water to kill pollen grains, take apart fans to clean and replace cheap ducting if you're super worried about a few seeds in your next run.

Appreciate your response! I've been running the same plants for a long time, almost 1.5 years. I've had pods before in previous runs, but nothing like the pictures I've posted. This is the most I've ever seen and looks a bit different than normal.

My plan is to spray down dehu's, air handler vent, change the can fans filter, spray the poles, wires, gutter, walls and floors. It's been 4 days empty. I'm going to clean tonight and transplant in 1 - 2 weeks.
