I had 2 plants growing outdoors about 20 feet away from each other. I had thought they were both females but one turned out to be a weird looking male (possibly a hermie). I discovered this when I squeezed one of the balls a few days ago on the male/hermie and a bunch of pollen came wafting out. The other plant is definitely a female and I thought, "Oh shit. All these buds are going to be full of seeds". To my surprise, I pulled a few flowers and opened the bracts. No seeds! The trichomes are mostly milky with a few (around 10%) amber. I was initially going to ask if I should leave it alone for another week but I'm not going to risk seeds developing. I believe I'll be chopping her down tomorrow morning. Have any of you ever experienced a male in close proximity to a female plant and it not developing seeds, even when the male is definitely dropping pollen?
It may be fertilized but it takes a bit for the seeds to develop. It might just not be there yet Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Yeah I would definetly chop her now. The seeds take time to actually become seeds so its probably been pollinated but hasnt yet made any visible seeds.
