Hey bud. naaaaah, no need to kill them you still getting weed from them even though the weed will have seeds, I am sure you are ok with few seeds in your buds? Other plants might be at risk too, not cause of the one making seeds, but because of what ever factor is contributing to those making the seeds. if it's pollen coming through your bug barriers then all plants are at risk, if you see nanners all plants are at risk. can never dictate where the pollen will fall. the ball sac we talking bout is 2 different things. you talking bout the "calyx" where the seed forms. I am talking bout pure male flower will throw balls, they're little pollen sacs, so I call em ball sacs, they are bunches of those nanners that haven't opened yet, this is what I am talking about - nr.1 - ball sac (pollen sac) not a sack with the K like a bag, sac means something else cause sometimes the pollen is in a tube or on a stamen or in a cup, every plants anatomy is different, but all pollen carriers have pollen sacs, kinda just refferes to where the pollen is kept inside the plant. nr.2 - the pollen sac opened and exposed the nanners, the nanners are the little banana-like looking things inside the ball sac, those nanners releasing the pollen. If you see a plant throw nanners alone it's something different than a plant that went hermie. but yeah, in your case I would try get all stray lights out, then try run a photoperiod plant. as soon as you're able to you clone the shit out of the plant to make replicas, you run that plant as a control test and if things go wrong you have replicas of the exact same phenotype to run again and again, as a control to see where you hitting problem areas. I am a good comfortable 75 to 90% sure that the issues you're having with your plants is cause it's autos. autos stress like a bitch, one tiny wrong move and they show you the finger. photo periods, even with loadshedding, would have given you much more weed and much less stress. and if you hit a wall, photoperiods can be turned around right before their grave. autos don't even want one hickup. I get loadshedding I still fill my tents with buds wall to wall, cause I grow photoperiods. the auto movement and the push for beginners to begin with autos cause "they're easier" is absolute bullshit. it's the same as the first time you put a new game on you wana play on expert mode. you'll see, run a photoperiod as control plant - it'll help you identify problems in your tent + you'll get WAY more weed + photos are way more forgiving allowing for more mistakes or environment that's not dialed in.4 points

I second Naughty. If there is not enough pollen to make it visible you will have minimal seeds. My white prussian outdoor couldn't handle the summer heat and averaged 5-8 seeds per big bud... Was still a solid smoke. Keep the seeds...you might find something very special3 points

The one that just posted puffco and had pictures of legal grows? If so then I don't think it's him.3 points

@Naughty.Psychonaut Do I need to kill the plants that are generating a few seeds? Are my other plants at risk? I was thinking of just removing the few seeds, and keep going with the grow. I don't see any nanners or flower/pollen sites.3 points

Thank you guys for responding and giving feedback, I really appreciate it! @Naughty.Psychonaut That's very insightful. I don't see nanners at all. Have checked the plants thoroughly. All just normal pistils. That little "ballsack" on 95% of the buds has pistils coming out, and no seed inside. If I look closely, I can find a "ballsack" here and there that has no pistil coming out, and has a small green seed growing inside. This seems to be on the lower branches, and more underneath bud sites rather than on actual buds as far as I can see. My tent pressure I am very finicky about. I check to see how the walls are, and do my best to make sure pressure is always even. Also have a bug/dust screen on the intake. But this pollen theory can very well be the cause. @LitItGrown Your final results are amazing man! You're completely right. I am an anxious person, and this project was also to help teach me deal with setbacks as they are a normal part of living. I got my EC Pen today, as mentioned before that was something I completely neglected. I've adjusted what I can, and now I'm just going to ride out the rest of the grow and hope for the best. In hindsight I find that these are the most likely culprits: Not checking EC this grow. HST rather than LST Stray lights during dark period I don't want to blame genetics or the fact that its an auto, because there is definitely a lot that could have been done better. Thanks again, appreciate all the kind words and feedback Edit: In the YouTube video Lit posted, they mentioned stray light. In the comments of the video someone said: "You just hit the nail on the head! I put my dehumidifier in on the last few weeks left of flower and sure enough I got a few immature seeds on the bottom of a couple ladies from the blue light" My dehumidifier also has a blue light. Even with the tape over it, its still a faint blue light through the plastic. And I'm having the same "immature seeds on the bottom issue". Could be the reason honestly. Need to remove that LED.2 points

that's very true, genetics play a huge roll. with photoperiods you can run a clone again and again to see if you can get different results, but the one and done thing with autos you will never really know unless you know how stable the genetic is. I think most of the seed banks that "breed their own" seeds that have many different strains they are calling their own that we have all seen everywhere before. eg. local SeedBankX will have an auto girl scout cookie for sale in their packaging, but they did not actually breed that genetic, cause we all know it to be something that already exists. They also can't open a pack of Ripper seeds and throw the seeds into a pack with their name on it and call it their own, infact they will loose money also as these seeds are relatively cheaper than the legit stuff from the reputed breeders such as Ripper, Inhouse, Compound, Square1, Riot. a lot of the US guys got the legit shit. these local big time seed bank guys with bulk bulk sales and ALL the strains make F1's or just do small pheno hunts, select the winner and BX it and sell those seeds for cheap, at least it's better than F1's, but a lot of times they kinda just "pollen chuck" and hope for the best. no way you can do legit work on that scale so quick, plus the names give it away. our local master breeder here is Totemic, look at is work, you'll see new strain names cause it's his own crosses and he works one or two strains at a time till he feels good about it, not 100 strains all at once and just one pollen chuck and done. I've grown out some biltong and buds photoperiods under the sun, their setup us a good example. Just before I started growing indoor. Phenos didn't look anything alike. was just some average weed, not even good weed. grew about 10 different seeds of the same strain before I gave up on digging for a good pheno. don't get me wrong, some guy somewhere got a pack of BnB and he got a winner pheno, probably a few people, but those guys got lucky.1 point

Well, 3 of the 5 replacements germed. Now to see how they turn out.. They were germed with 5 more Ethos beans. By the way they were InHouse and not Ethos. Had it wrong. All the Ethos girls germed. I would say those Inhouse beans could have been stored wrong. The seedlings seem a bit off but they will be given time. It's really the first time in a long time that I struggle with seedling like this. I have germed Swazi beans that are more that 14 years old and never saw the inside of a fridge. So seed storing necer really bugged me but with this... Well I'm not convinced.. Will update with some pics soon. ✌1 point

Seeds are ready. Now to flower out the clones. Plus I added 2 more plants to the roster. Pure Michigan and Zurple Punch. Plus I am reveging Supreme Oreoz from Starfire genetics. It is fucking fire. Best smoke I had in 5 years.1 point

My old graft did the same thing, asked the 420sa admin if we can create a proxy link but wasn't possible if I recall correctly.1 point

Had him on Telegram, busy in real life and wasn't online a lot as he said, they changed the security of the internet at work and he can't reach the weed sites anymore.1 point
