Hmm hard to see, can you take it under white light. First let's make sure there balls. Then if so, how many. If there's only a few, we can cut them off and continue

I just read that!! Can it be true ? I can read it a lot on some forums, should I keep going a eeek or 2 since it's normal and happens often ?
:: Stressed females indeed can and do sometimes produce a few seeds, without the benefit of any male or "hermaphrodite" plant being in the area. Particularly strains that are Sativa dominant. This is an emergency measure at procreation from strains that probably originated in areas where there was some environmental reason for such a survival measure to evolve. In an indoor situation, stress can arise if for example (as happened to me) a fuse blows and plunges mid-flowering plants into darkness for several days before being detected. This "self-seeding" was an internal process, the plants were not "pollinating" one another, nor were the plants true "hermaphrodites", they did not have pollen sacs. They did not produce mad amounts of seed and the crop was not ruined.
I later grew a crop from those seeds and found that they produced 99% females and 1% Hermaphrodite - or a male, with female flower characteristics.
This is another common misnomer: a true Hermaphrodite in flower would show white hairs and bud type formations, like a female, but with sacs developing like a male and that COULD pollinate other nearby females therefore. But a lot of what people on these forums call Hermaphrodites, are NOT - they are just stressed females that self-produced a few seeds.
Atleast wat i woulf do

Hard to tell, but I don't think there balls. I would try and cut one out, and see if it's a ball, or a seed

Did you cut them all off, or are there more on them? Hm might be balls then. Well, I'd say take the ones out that have hermied and continue on the others

It's a hard choice to make, but it's worth ditching them, so you can finish the others. even if it's just one. Bummer man, at least you know it's nothing you did. It was an equipment malfunction.

But I read at some places that those kind of seeds take 6 weeks to Get to maturity and then pollinate... si since I wanted to go 2 more weeks, may be it will be fine ? I don't know..

Hm that's a good question, not sure. Maybe try and cut off as many as you can find. And let them go the two weeks. Are there any that aren't hermied?

So here's what I took off this morning, there wasn't many left I think after that. So I'll be able to see if it's spreading day by day. I'll try to make it at least to 7 full weeks so there's enuff thc to get me a little high -_- this is sad stuff as it was going pretty well, I guess we learned the hard way..! If you guys have some more tips let me know but then I think we're close to the end and just hope for the best.... going to try with 6 more seeds in 2 weeks -_-
See you guys !

Well like I said, if it were me I would just take the effected ones out, and finish the others. OrSo here's what I took off this morning, there wasn't many left I think after that.

You can try to finish them all, try to cut off as many as you can, as soon as you can until their finished. 2-3 more weeks. It's up to you. Either way, the buds should still be good quality, especially the healthy ones. will just probably hurt your yeild.

So some updates from the girls, they are still alive can't tell if they are fattening or just putting energy on making seeds, but there's a lot of version on the web about Hermies and i found out that this is not real Hermies, ladies stressed out by a environnemental element can start producing seeds to assure they procreation. But they are not pollen sacs they are seeds. I took around 30 total off. It doesn't look like it's spreading nor making a lot more... I hope it stays that way for at least 2 weeks to give hem their last sprint of grow ! Here's some picture of them and a picture of my 3 new baby bubba, plus I got 3 purple kush in a glass of water waiting to be transplanted. See you guys !
