I have an outdoor crop and i know for a fact that its a female. No males around what so ever and for some reason i seen a couple seeds. Its in its 5th week of flowering and i know if a plant gets pollinated itll give all its energy to seed production. What if i remove all seed calyx? would it then produce calyxs without seeds?:!::?: Help:?::!: :wall:mota.JPGmota2.JPGcrapymacro.jpgmota3.JPG

I do know females will sometimes make some male flowers as a last ditch effort deep into flowering, if you have easy access to your plot you could inspect them daily and bring a needle nose tweezers. I have noticed this happen, it happened to me last year in fact, I don't know that it was actually a herm plant, I just think sometimes nature will do what it has to to reproduce.

Yeah just pick them off as long as long as it isn't outta hand, it wasn't a huge problem for me last year, I noticed them early, I really inspect my plants lolz, anyways, I just picked them off each day before they opened.

I've seen no sign of male flowers on your plants. You have to take pictures of the main stem and nodes under the leaves. If your camera has Macro mode, use it for close ups. Female flowers also develop calyxes, however they are seedless and will swell with resin in the last couple of weeks of flowering. I don't recommend that you be pulling calyxes off of buds.

I do not see any male pollen sacs. It might have been pollinated by a nearby male, but....

If you have no males to destroy, there is nothing to do really. Let your buds produce. they look healthy to me. I would not pick off calyxes cause you have no way of knowing which ones are false seed pods.

Female cannabis plants will sometimes make a couple seeds on there own as a survival tactic. I have seen it a couple times.

Yeah I wasnt advising to pick off calyxes, just any pollen sacs you may see, they will show up as small banana shaped things, they are usually much lighter in color to the buds, hard to miss. They are distinguishable from the calyxes in that they are elongated and not roundish. They look much different than normal male flowers as well, like I said they stand out like a sore thumb.
