Does ALL FEMALE plants start making seeds at the end of their life?


Im asking because I had FEMALE plants that started to produce seeds at the end of flowering stage and no way in hell that they have been stressed and polinated.

well, they got pollinated somehow, perhaps one of the plants turned hermaphrodite or you might have a neighbor with a hermi or male a few miles away...

So they can NOT make seeds completly ALONE? ??

I have read that ALL female plants make seeds before they die in nature..is this true??

Actually I don't know, I've never let a plant go that long.
Interesting. I'll stick around for the answer to this also.

If a plant thinks that it is going to die.. it will hermi and pollinate itself to preserve it's species. This could be due to stress or the genetic code going into 'dying mode' so that is possibly what happened to your girl.. she thought she was a goner, very strain related I am sure.

The only way I know of that seeds get produced is if there is pollen present, either from an outside source or one of your females grew male flower somewhere. I do not believe seed can be produced any other way. Females don't spontaneously start growing seed without pollen as far as I am aware. Some cannabis females, if left to flower without being pollinated, will eventually grow male flowers and create its own pollen. When that happens exactly is strain related. Some strains will hermie very easily and others do not.

THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION!
Look for a star in the east and prepare for the return of our Messiah.

Either that or you stressed your plant it it made male flowers which created fem seeds for you.
