Some more pics of the bud in question would be nice. That one pic is hard to tell whats going on. As far as seeds, could have had a plant throw some nanners along the way and pollinate?

Whats are the deets on your climate? High humidity at that stage can cause some problems with mold/rot. Are you in soil, half hydro, full hydro?

Its been 9½ weeks since 12/12 flip, but a helpful member suggested its more like day 38.
I believe this is because I had a bug zapper in the room at lights out and maybe a bit of light coming through the very top of my curtains, but I cant be sure if these delayed anything.

Grown in coco, 5 gallon pots. Feeding just canna coco a + b twice daily.
Ec in 1.2 (cut out cal mag and lowered overall ec due to leaves clawing, burnt tips and high runoff ec - 2.8, from 1.7 in) for about 6 days.
I water so that I get between 600 - 1200ml runoff, trying to lower the ec, which is currently down to 1.9 - 2.2.
Light about 800ppfd or 35DLI (roughly as im having phone issues atm), but the light is nearly touching one plant and the main seed plant is about 6 - 12 inches away. Its at max height.

We've had hot weather and even with A/C temps have got up to 29 - 30c lights on, 27.7c lights off in the past week, for a day or two. (Peak, not prolonged all day)
Up until then, temps and humidity have been stable and vpd is around 1.2 - 1.5 at this stage in flower.

What should I do about the main seed plant and maybe one more, which is the first two pictures.
That green area on the bud looks different to the other ones and was pushed up against the tent door so its been getting bashed accidentally for a while.

Ive spent a fucking fortune on this setup and months and months of time (im sure everyone can relate), and i have to have something to smoke.

Me and the missus are on medical which is a rip off, I cant grow until autumn at least after this grow because of the fucking heat in my room, even with AC on, so i wont have another chance to harvest my own for .....maybe 6 months or something stupid?
I need to know what to do and can I continue as im fucked if I cant.
First grow btw.
And thats all the pictures I have until tonight.

can definitely slow things down! The plant can start to re veg or herm. I had a light leak for a few runs causing herming issues and things were just off. But not enough to throw the plant into a re veg

the heat in later flower isnt ideal. but if its all you got then thats all you got. just watch the humidity and keep a good airflow going. start watching the trichomes.

either way it looks like the plants need some more time. early chopped weed isnt going to be what you are looking for, in my opinion. iv taken plenty of plants to early and regretted every single time but on the same token, if its a matter of the plant starting to mold/rot or something else that isnt going to allow the plant to finish properly its just what you gotta do.

So keep going with all.of them and watch for mold as usual?
Also, should I pick the visible seeds or any other parts?

I have to exhaust in my house so will it have pollen everywhere?
Although just opening the tent and watering and inspecting for an hour twice daily surly puts lots into my house and clothes and everywhere really?

Yeah id let it ride! : ) yeah that pollen is probably going through the vent but wont be viable shortly after so dont worry about inadvertently pollinating your next rounds. Unless you work in a weed factory and show up that day to work on some flowering plants

dont mess with the seeded buds and just keep an eye for mold per usual. the seeded herb is still very good! just have to get the seeds out before you smoke (unless you dont want to) but theyll taste bad and snap and pop.

This is one of those lessons we learn. But i also want to say i've heard some weed is more prone to hermi traits not alot you can do about it. Best of luck

I tend to think seeded bud is horrible
It’s not so much the seeds as the male flowers not all open at the same time & pollen tastes horrible when smoked.
Still if it’s all I had I’d smoke it .. depending on how much male pollen is left in the buds

yeah i can see that for sure G! Im looking at op’s pics and was thinking “kind of looks to be about how much mine got pollinated”. I could have gotten lucky also with it only being lightly pollinated and not full on hermed and dumping pollen. But yeah, it’s less than ideal and un seeded buds reign supreme for sure! : )
