One seed in entire harvest

Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen to them. I just harvested two girls that I grew indoors (closet grow). Between the two plants, I harvested 3 oz of bud. The strange thing is that I found one immature seed in the whole harvest. It just seems strange that I would only get one seed. Anyone else seen this before???

Did ya find any other false seed pods,lookalike seed pods on female plants?

Some plants can show this especially if the flowering stage is extended IIRC.

I found some in the 5th week and thought i had gone hermi but the false seed pods are nothing to worry about,you prolly had one morph out or something.

Swing and a miss. Light leaks can't give you chromosomes.

It is really easy to get pollen attached to your clothes if you're even in the same building as a male plant (even if you don't know its there). We had a similar problem with our grow when random seeds popped up. We found it was from the male I grew all the way across town when the grown seeds showed similar traits to the male. It had to have been just attached to my clothing and/or hands when I came to the other site.

And think about it. Pollen is five times finer than kief. It takes only one speck of viable pollen to make a seed.

I understand your point regarding the pollen. Doesn't it seem strange though, to only have literally one seed out of two plants? I am not around any other plants, but I do live in a rural area, so I guess pollen could have come in from the wild. If that were the case, I would guess that I would have introduced enough pollen to cause more seed production. I will be harvesting a couple of more plants next week, but these plants show no signs of seed development.

I really doubt it was a true seed,soak it and see if you get a tap root.
