i have just harvested 4 white widow plants, but looking at 1 of the plants it has produced a few seeds on the lower part of the plant. is there any reason for this? is it ok for it to produce these or is it a sign that its a male plant or summik??

cheers

i just harvested them all. it was only on 1 plant at the bottom but throughout the grow all showed signs of being female. and its produced som really nice looking bud. am confused
 
she hermied on you, and the good thing about it is that according to what i read it was only on one of your plants meaning that she hermied late into flowering.

A late flower "hermie" (if it was in late flower) is a natural response to the girl not having been fertilized. They WILL do that. It's a built in survival mechanism in Cannabis. It does NOT mean the progeny will have a greater propensity for hermie-ing. Keep those feminized seeds. They will produce exact replicas of that plant.

It could have hermied due to stress as well. Same thing. Just my opinion, but a stress produced hermie will produce feminized seed that are as good as any you might buy. They gotta feminize them somehow. STS, CS, or any other means of artificially producing pollen sacs is still hermie-ing the plant thru stress.

Now if the plant hermies without any other factors coming into play, it's just a trash genetic line and should be killed off.

If it has produced buds, it's a female. If it produces seeds, it's a female.

IF it was grown outside, possibly somebody else in the hood had a male and your girl got some pollen on her. If it was grown inside maybe you were walking around outside and some pollen blew onto your clothes and you carried it into the growroom. And, for whatever other reason, occassionally a plant will throw a few seeds.

Dont worry. Just smoke it.

cheers guys me minds at rest i think it could of been due to stress as in the past few weeks of flowering we had a few power cuts so maybe this could of been why. it was late in the flowering stage and like i say they plants have produced what looks like a very good yield. i will be keeping the seeds as they are dark in colour and look just like the seeds i have been buying, so the next grow i will start in the next few days i shall use these seeds and keep a journal.

cheers again for the advice much appreciated

This is rare ,its not a hermie its all woman. It prob threw one or two pollen sacks down low, you didnt notice. IMO all these seeds will be female and should be used again ,especially as the plant was nice.

i think looking at the size of the buds it going to yield approx 5oz of this 1 plant. and yes the seeds were from down below were there was not much bud. i wil be germinating 4 of the seeds tomorrow so i shall start a journal and see what happens. lets hope they produce like the parents haha
