Need Quick Help

Hello guys, yesterday one of my ladies which was in week 9 of flowers started popping seeds out of the buds. I immediately took it out the grow room and chopped it down ( photo below )
Now the big question is. Are my other plants in the grow room safe ? They are 5 in beginning of week 5.

Help would be appreciated.
Thanks all

Squeeze a small bud and see if you feel seeds forming in there. If there's pollen flying around...it's highly likely all of the ladies got fucked.

Well it's obvious that a plant threw some pollen. Either from banana's or pollen sacs you didn't notice. At this point it wouldn't have made much difference whether you pulled the 9 week plant out or not. I would have let it finish. The five week plants will have already been pollinated. You may get some seeds but it's not the end of the world. Finish the plants out and harvest them. Don't freak out and chop them early because of a few seeds. Any seeds you get will be feminized seeds. The weed will be perfectly fine to smoke.

Have a beer, smoke a joint and wait until harvest.

They won't yield as well as if they hadn't seeded...but the weed will be AOK. It's only a real bummer of you are one of the guy's slingin' for a living/etc. I'd let em go...

So the ladies will still grow some buds but just will include seeds in ? And obviously decrease the quality/yield.

Those are definitely seeds. But at this point there is nothing you can do other than look over your plants for banana's or male parts and pick them off to prevent more pollen. You can pick the seeds out but why? Save them. You might need something to grow in the future.

As far as quality/yield, There will not be any noticeable difference in the quality from a few seeds. There may be some impact on yield but that's dependent on the amount of seeds. A few won't make any difference. The only thing you can do is finish them out and deal with some seeds. The smoke will be fine. There are people that would freak out and chop them now. Don't be one of them.

If I’m honest I freaked out thought my whole grow has gone to shits. I’ll just let it grow out and take off any male parts/bananas.
Thanks for the advice appreciate it

Yes let them grow. You've invested too much time to do anything else. You will still harvest some good bud. There will just be some seeds in it. Maybe just a few and maybe only in just a couple buds. You'll find out later. I specifically grow plants to make my own crosses and seeds so I'm not squeamish when it comes to seeds and I see them as a good thing. It is what it is. Take those lemons, make lemonade, pour yourself a glass, relax and smoke a joint. :blsmoke:

Yeah I saw the seeds in couple buds but it is what it is. Have you created any fire strains yet?
Just finished one as was reading your replies, cheers.

Yes they will be feminized. You could find some fire in them. Or not. You'll just have to find out.

Good luck.

Okay cool. I assume this will now be a cross between these plants and the one that pollinated ?

If the critical bilbo is the nine week plant then most likely yes.

After you chopped the nine week plant did you look it over real good to see if you could find any nanners or pollen sacs?

I should of mentioned this before. No I haven’t found any actually. I think it turned herm due to stress I have caused her whilst I stupidly and heavily flushed her with water definitely too cold. They were fine up until I did the flush

It will still grow and you'll still have a harvest. As stated before, a few seeds isn't really anything to worry about. Especially since there's nothing you can do about it now. Just let them grow out and maybe try to prevent it next time [if possible.] The yield may be a little bit smaller, but at this point with whatever you have invested, I'd let this grow fully finish since chopping early/now would be losing out on something that might turn out pretty decent.

Many moons ago, I had a stressed plant reverse sex on some lower branches, and impregnate itself..... I also took the serendipitous opportunity to collect some pollen, and "chucked" it onto a smaller plant of a different strain, during its second week in flower....
After all was said and done, I ended up with about 50 Feminized S1 seeds of the original strain, and about 150 Feminized seeds of a completely new hybrid, that eventually became the "Show Pony" of my entire garden.....
If I had lost my noodle, and cut everything down in haste, I would've missed out on the winning combo, that many in my circle are envious of.

I have made some crosses that are pure crap. I have also made some stuff that will knock you socks off. My current experiment has turned in to pure fire. I'm really happy with the results.

So yes. I've created fire.
