Seeds? Empty pods? Hermie?

Hey guys i got 6 NL 5 weeks into flower and im noticing some(not a lot) seed pods on some of the buds, this is probably the one with the most, its not a main cola or anything.



Just wondering if it's a hermie? I picked one off and opened it and there was just sorta liek green mush inside.

The pods or whatever they are all have white/brown hairs coming out of them, calyx's maybe?

that really look like you have a hermi on your hands and the pollen already have been spread

useally the Pods do swell at the end, but that really look like its cracking and there is a seed inside, been there myself a few times

keep a eye out for male flowers/ball`s on the lower Nod`s doing the first weeks of flowering, and see if you can catch them in time and remove em, if they ever appear agin

a good lesson learn, I now treat mine like babies in flowering, and keep a eye out, and first time when I did`t catch them in time, have provided me with 100ish femi seed`s I have been growing ever since, so there is some plusses once you get pass the half yield, second and last time I got em I found em, almost in time, guess one or two slipped and I got like 15 seed`s and good yield, thats more like it

Nice thanks, i actually pulled 1 out that was a seed from a random baggie, i think that may have been the one that hermie'd and thrown some pollen on the NL. the NL are fem'd from barneys farm so i'm hoping they didn't actually hermie but just got a small amount of pollen from the hermie i pulled... Blah.. just don't want shitty smoke.

Seeing no balls anywhere though, it's just a few swell'd pods.

Take one of the pods off and cut it open.

Examined the pulled plant that i suspected to be a hermie, found nanners lol. Is it possible that the nanners just slightly pollenated the NL but the NL are fine? just will produce minimal seeds and remain female?

I pulled a couple of pods but found no seed inside, just weird mushy stuff and it smells really good lol.

Edit - found 1 seed in a pod on the plant i pulled out (have it hang drying atm). However this pod had no hair coming out of it, and wasn't very resin covered, as opposed to the NL 'pods' that i think are just swelling calyx's because theyr covered in trichs and have white or brown pistils..

I guess i'll just let them do their thing and i'll check for balls and nanners on the NL but havn't seen a single nanner or ball yet so maybe their 100% girls with just minor pollenation from the baggie seed plant i had in there with them?

Just trying to stress a little less.. lol

not much you can do at this point....no matter what the seed, or from where, you gotta examine your plants constantly......if you see anything that looks suspicious, remove it at once....those nanners are sneaky little bastards, they can screw you up in 4 days so you gotta watch for them closely.

Do nanners really screw you up bad? I thought they didn't have nearly the pollenation potential as pure males or pure hermies (stacks of male flowers early on). I thought maybe they just make the plant produce the odd seed here and there but mostly remains female.
