My buddy harvested a while back and as we have been smoking we have found an occasional seed. How is this?? There were no males present all 6 plants were female..... Any idea why or how seeds got in the buds? Maybe fem'd seeds? That'd be nice huh??
chances are they hermied like coca said, and if they hermied due to stress then they are more than likely female, if it was a genetic herm, them seeds are prolly herm too.
Even if they were pollinated by a hermie caused by stress (rather than genetics) then the seeds are more likely to be hermie. But...some strains when left unpollinated can develop a few seeds late in flowering. It's a survival technique, the plant being unpollinated and reaching the end of its life will spawn a few seeds as a last-ditch effort to pass on its genes. If they are viable seeds then they are essentially "clones" of the mother and thus feminized.

Or is it just a freak of nature type thing like you said, a last ditch effort.
did all the plants finish and start flowering together? Toward the end when buds ripen a lot will grow bananas..if yoy had a plant almost done and others starting you could accidentaly pollenate... Also very early on there could have been a male flower that got opened and it was really early so there werent enough hairs yet to really seed it up...or maybe you had a male before and forgot to clean the fan or wall or whatever? If it was a female that pollenated another female youll end up with femenized seeds.
It's kind of a lucky chance if you can cause the plant to self pollinate, it'll ussually only happen under a stressful enviornment. So if you try to cause it to self pollinate, you could over stress your plant and cause it to give up
This is his first grow and all plants were started at the same time and all were female, hopefully it self pollinated and had fem seeds here's a pic of the plant they came from
Ehhhh maybe but he lives in a neighborhood full of older people, but ya never know. Maybe he has a 80 weed growin neighbor lol well Imma grow the seeds and I'll let everybody know how they turn out lol
