Please please help!!!! Pics!

I have a bunch of female plants (lemon kush). The preflowers have swollen to a very large size and inside in the organ is a single seed or what looks like a premature seed. now these are on all of this strain. Are they Screwed? Hermie or male even? Help PLEASE. I have so much time, cash invested in these plants and im in total panic mode right now. thx for help everyone. first pic is the pistils in which the seed thing was in and the second pic is the seed. Please any ideas?????

42 veiws and no one has any opinions? well after examining all my girls some of differing strains I have determined Im a freak and panicking. It appears that is just how they look as the pistols age. If im incorrect please school me. Im very new to all this and Im a protective daddy and worried about my girls,lol. Thx.,

tough room. wow.

looks to me like a pre-flower was pollinated

there are no males anywhere . Very strange. thx for thoughts.

if its outside a male's pollen can become airborne and travel for quite a distance. While this is very rare it can happen. I would check very thoroughly for male pollen sacs. If you dont find any then it is most likely just a premature seed that is unpollinated and you should have no worries.

very strange, plant the thing and see what happens.

There is definitely pollen coming from somewhere. I don't see any male flowers in the pics, but you may have some and not even know. Look at your plants closely, I just had to pull a plant because there were balls on 2 tops while the others had all pistil preflowers. If not maybe their are native cannabis species or even other gardeners in your area.

Ya that one looks hermed, the preflower on the left is actually a misshapen male flower. Or a severally mutated pre-flower.

Edit: or is that a lighting effect, it looks like its away from the stem.

Edit 2: never mind.

well Ive checked all 23 plants with a fine tooth comb (not literally). I have found NO male balls at all on any of them. So im guessing the pollen if there is any came from a neighbors grow or wild cannabis if it grows here. (Dont think so though). I dont know my neighbors and pollen can travel great distances so Im sure I wont find the culprit. When these plants start to flower in a few months will I have to worry about the same male pollen pollinating my girls? And if there is any pollen that made it on to these plants now will the pollen still be on the plants and viable in a few months? Thx for help.

dw man, go to the hydro sop and get some product with female hormones in it... I use a budwise spray, and there is another called Budwise BLAST... anyway I have exactly the same problem, Use the hormones before flowering, and throughout... The budwise I use stops bananas, seeds and any other 'hermie' probs, and fattens the buds... You can pollinate your crop simply by having a smoke of some weed you got on the street, Then touching your plants... I was ready to cut my girl down a few weeks back, same thing as you, and same strain... Lucky for me someone knew about hormones, Give them a go

Ill go out and get some of that stuff as soon as I can . thx for your suggestion.

first of all we all know bees and other flying insects carry pollen a long distance. Secondly, if I have a plant produce 4ozs. I usually get a few seeds. Like I will find 4 or 5 seeds. They are soft and barely formed. I chalk it up to the plant wanting to reproduce so badly they will do this. Weird dont know why.
