ok i have two plants both are about 2 mos. into flower, the other day i checked them on one was showingballs, it is only on like one shoot of the plant, but when i checked today, it had spread a little not much but now my other plant is showing just a few now too,

the balls look like seed pokets, so my question is should i pull them now a few weeks early, or should i just wait till they are done, right now the buds are real nice, but not ready yet. will the balls mess the plant up if i let it contine to grow until it is done flowering?

They've become stressed and hermied. From what you're saying, it doesn't sound like there are too many pollen sacks. If that's the case, just cut them off and remove them from anywhere they may pollenate your buds.

No, they wont COMPLETELY ruin your crop. But sinsemilla is always stronger than seeded bud of the same strain.

are you sure you are seeing pollen sacks and not seed pods? - it's pretty late to just start herming and just the right time to start to see seeds. different issues, different solutions.

Yes, pictures would be nice and an easy way to know for sure what you're seeing.

ok, i cant get a good enough pic to even show you guys, what would be the difference between pollen sacks and seed pods? these ball looking things that are poping up look like they will hold a seed, and there is a single hair growing from the tip of the ball, it looks weird, not so much like a male plant when they begin to show their sacks, but diffenrnt, they are bigger and then there is the single hair thing is wierd too....

is there any clear difference between a pollen sack and seed pod

squeeze one, does a small seed pop out or does it just pop a sticky resin out ? If no seed pops out , I would leave it.

the seed pods are extensions of the bud and the pollen sacks are at the juncture of the node. squeeze a pollen sack and you get powder, squeeze a seed pod and you get either a seed or nothing.

i have a train wreck that sounds exactly the same as your description. i thought it was a hermi, but now i'm not so sure... it has been budding about 4-5 weeks and these fat pods emerged. some at bud sites and some at nodes. i thought they were pollen sacks. i didn't kill it because i figured it wasn't near my other girls and i've never seen a hermi, let alone one that finished out.... BUT, the other day one of the sacks broke open and it was FULL of hairs!!! it's the weirdest thing i've ever grown..

guys that sounds like the womb the seed is baked in---- those are Calyx and if she were to get pollinated that is where the seeds grow. Too funny how some think seeds means boys----silly fool the female carries the seeds and reproduces them----the males only have Pollen and barely even create tri's as collecting Pollen is not necessary for a Male---they have it.
I will attach a Female starting to Flower and you can compare what a Female will look like when showing Gender---2months old is more like 5-6 weeks vegging and 2 weeks in flowering i bet. If you are really that far along then you can read a calender and those are the calyx and you should start to see white hairs on the top like a flower

Sounds like a sensimilla calyx to me too. Those aren't balls you see, bro. Those are what will be your buds.

Maybe this picture will help you ID them if I'm wrong. (I could only feel possitive about my answer with a picture of your plant).

I have the same problem with one plant. 7 weeks into flowering, I have noticed what I think are seed pods. People are instant to advise that it is a hermie but I dont see any pollen sack (not that I know the difference if I'm honest)

The point is it was a fem, and has been a fem doing well for ages and now there are seeds. I knew something was up as the buds arent as big as on my other plant.

The calyx make up the flower cluster. It should be very simple to identify male organs. They look nothing like the female calyx. Look at a flower cluster compare the calaxy to what your seeing. If its the same your ok. If it looks different from the calyx pinch off the male organ. It doesn't release pollen until it opens up.
