Anyone seen this before?
There are a very few in the buds.

You might be expecting a few seeds in some of those buds...it looks like a male flower.

I hope not!
I don.t get pollen when I touch them.
They look like tight clusters of yellow peatals.

I'm sorry to tell you, but I am pretty sure you had a male flower pop. Thats why you can't find any pollen. Each male flower only produces a small amount of very fine pollen that acts almost like smoke once it is airborne. It's not a guarantee your plants will go to seed though and if they do only the pollenated buds will produce seed. Good luck.

Enjoy the fuck up as any seeds you get should be almost 100% female.

you are 100% right this has happened to me 18 seeds = 18 female

what he has is called a hermaphrodite. It's a female plant that decided to grow a couple balls to self polinate. Sometimes nature does this as a last ditch effort to keep the species alive if it hasn't received any pollen. If this happens the seeds will be 100 % female because the seeds were produced from a plant that has 100% female genetics.

Sometimes a plant will become hermaphrodite due to a poor growing environment. When this happens the seeds will be 100% female with a stronger possiblity that the seeds themselves will grow up to be hermaphrodites as well.

NOTE: Male plants do not grow buds. Only females do.

Judging by your pic. I think you'd be hard pressed to find any seeds unless you have some more of those male flowers on your plants. when harvesting take special attention to the buds close to your male flowers. Keep those seeds for the future.
