Ok here goes, I have 3 plants that will be rdy in a week or so. all of them looks like seed are present on the underneath side of bud, Showed no signs of seeds until 8 or 9 weeks in flower

2 questions: If seeds sacks are present when almost done, shouldn't they have some hardness to them? All sacks are soft. Can it hermie on last week or so? Just checked other 2 real close seed sacs on underside of bud. This is my sixth or seventh grow, always used fem seeds from nirvana. Last yr at x-mas time they gave 10 free seeds with every order. I should have thrown all 10 away, a lot of time and effort wasted. Chromes are cloudy, should I harvest now? seeds are soft as leaves. 3 DAYS AGO I PUT 3 FEM MASTER KUSH IN WITH THESE, THEY ARE ABOUT 2' TALL AND 5 WEEKS OLD. yanked them out of there just now, I hope I didn't fuck them up.

Chopped one and chopping other 2 tomorrow, the other 2 just have like 4 or 5 at the very start of bud and rest of bud is clean, or looks that way. going to cut tomorrow and try to salvage what I can.
As far as room/ box go, should I bleach it down to disinfect? I have 3 master fems kush rdy to go in box. Now excuse me while I go cry. If I hermie these Kushes, I will be crying again in 2 mo.

Pollen sacs can look very similar to calyxes, thats why I asked. But if you're sure, then no need. But yeah, they can definitely hermie any time, especially at the end of flowering if they're stressed, in sort of a last ditch effort to be pollinated.

I did LST them and super crop during first couple weeks of flower. They were shooting for the stars. Box wasn't big enough. Lst and super crop suppose to be done only in veg?
No pic's yet. I Did clean up some of the light (picked early) buds. caught it before it went through entire bud, 4 or 5 seeds at base and hopefully that's all. Do I just trash all this? Will it make med.? Oil? I heard potentcy was less on males? Can it pollenate future grows in same room?

usually once you start seeing nanners im safe for a week it usually always happens a week before harvest, the bitches are horny they want to fuck, they are just trying to survive. it would be a problem when youre like 2-3 weeks away. i think youre fine.
