Seed pods?

Those things are seed pods yes. But if they have no seeds in them then you are growing cannabis sinsemilla. Or unpollinated cannabis. Looking Good sorry if I misunderstood your question.

those are calyxes. they are the basic units that make up buds. they are seed pods, but ideally, you do not want them to be fertilized. it's not the end of the world if they are, but if they are, you should figure out how it happened so you can avoid it in the future.
they don't look particularly fertilized to me. the pistils on a fertilized calyx will get brown very quickly, and kink up.
just looks like buds to me...
fertilized bud will still be good, some people will tell you sinsemilla (unfertilized bud) will be stronger, but i don't really think that's true. i've had both, of the same strain, and while i'll say it seemed different, it didn't seem any weaker. the fertilized bud didn't hit quite as hard, but it lasted a lot longer. it does effect bag appeal, if you're looking to sell any. if its just for you, don't sweat it. just look around, see if you see any nanners (little yellow male flowers) on any of your plants, then see if you can find any large light leaks, check your temps, humidity, air flow...anything that can cause stress for the plants can make them hermie, but it either has to be a large stimulus, or a very touchy strain.

Well now I know. 2 out of the 4 plants have been pollinated. I will search for nanners but as of yet haven’t found any.
Will these seeds be usable? I need to figure out what went wrong before my next grow.
Temps were between 73-78 degrees.
My tent has no light leaks. So I don’t know what the issue is.
Very disappointing for my first grow though.05511CB5-A3D4-4D8B-80F5-703763C22B36.jpeg

It’s not always the growers fault. Lots of times it’s genetic. Sour diesel, Girl Scout cookies, train wreck these all can and will herm but growers just love growing and smoking them. Just let it finish and I’m sure if will be good or decent smoke.
They look healthy so you’ve surpassed most new growers right there.

These are Blue Gelato #41. Thanks for the vote of confidence. Was hoping to sell a little to recoup some of my start up costs but I guess that will have to wait for the next round.
Will these seeds grow hermies or are they usable?

not like that, but if you let them get ripe they ought to be usable. whether or not you want to depends on why they were created...
if it's because you have a strain that likes to do it and needs very little stimulus, you might not want to use them. if its because you had a light leak or some other stress that you can remove, then give em a try...

Thanks for the advice. I probably won’t use them because I don’t have a light leak in my tent and the temps were constant 73-78
