I am noticing more and more seeds in one of my plants, to the point where some buds that would be maybe a gram have 3 or 4 seeds in there. I have not noticed any seeds in the other 3 plants. I still have around 5 weeks left of flower, would you chop the one plant down to try and save the other 3 or is the damage already done?

I would say if they were all In there together the damage is done but not sure 🤔 keep rocking and have some free seeds ? Have you found boy parts anywhere ?

My decision would be clear, I'd take the seeded plant out directly and separate or chop it.
If some pollen sacks opend already, then the others will grow seeds inside as well.
Check careful below the buds if there are pollen sacks(bananas) and if they opened already. If so...make your choice.
Newbie as well but had the same in my last run and wasn't happy about the hundreds of seeds per plant as well.

Yes I do

I am not at all second guessing your advice, and your opinion is held high by me on any grow question. Could you educate me on your reasoning for this? I am here to learn and it's hard to learn if you don't ask.

might turn out better than you think,. i’d lower nutrients the last couple weeks for stress, keep PK higher than N though,.

One of the plants in my first run hermed on me as well, I was successful at picking off most all the nanners and sacks and didn't find a single seed in 26oz.

I’m pretty sure that would be fem seeds you would get but I’m not 100% is it happens without spray ??

It up to you personally I would roll with it and make stuff out of the bud with seeds but idk your weed situation ?

I think the plants can, but don't they shoot nanners as well and can pollinate the others as well?
If so will those be true fem seeds as well? That would be gold tbh.

With the fan blowing the pollen will have effected the other 3

Pollen travels miles literally.
Outside I believe it’s up to 4 miles
So you can imagine how much it will have effected the others in a tent
You might not be able to find the naners but are there otherwise you wouldn’t have seeds
Unless you used sts or colloidal silver on them to reverse them on purpose, which obviously you haven’t done.
Seeds can hide well deep inside buds as can male pollen sacks.
That’s why folks are saying keep them as the damage aka the pollen will already have effected the others.


Fem seeds that have male sacks do produce less viable pollen

I wouldn’t use the seeds personally as they will carry the hermi trait.

Ok I agree first run with them you will get a high female count however by experience I know you’ll get hermis & the more you breed with them the more hermi plants you’ll get

It’s just not worth it one messes up the rest so why take the risk ( from experience)

The only way a female plant can produce seeds is via pollen unless it’s been sprayed

Also, the amount of seeds you have on your buds definitely means there are pollen sacks somewhere

Unless you have a male producing pollen, do not use any seeds produced. They will just give you more seeds.
Because you don't smoke the bud but use it to make concentrates I would let them mature and harvest as you normally would. The way you use the actual flower are not effected by the seeds presence. But don't use them seeds.

Outdoor growing can be difficult, pollen travels via the wind and through bugs and animals.
