I was really shocked when I found this. I noticed a scrawny lower branch on my flowering ak-47 with a bud that wasn't getting much light. It looked kinda ugly with lots of brown pistils (the rest of the fatter healthy-looking buds still have mostly orangey and white pistils).

I cut off the branch and put the bud under inspection, thought it was bud rot but then I was shocked when I tore apart the calyxes and squeezed out tiny 'balls' that looked like very tiny seeds. Is this a seed pod? do I have myself a hermie? This plant has just 1-2 weeks to go before harvest!!

What should i do? is the whole plant going to have seeds? i looked all over the plant and haven't noticed any similar buds, nor have i seen any pollen sacs. should i kill it before it pollinates my other girls?

Remove it or watch for pollen sacs. Seedy pot is good to smoke.

with only 2 weeks left of flower, even if she / he blows his wad again, it's not really enough time for seeds to develop.. it sounds like you had a few small sacs that busted their wads and got only a few buds prego..

i'd just leave it and let it go the rest of the way honestly.. :D

alright guys i'll let it go, one week i'm going to chop anyway.

i just checked again and i see no male preflowers anywhere on my plants. that was literally the only odd-looking branch on the whole tree. I'm just paranoid there might be pollen in my grow tent. assuming there is, is a thorough cleaning with bleach enough to ensure future crops don't get pollinated?
