My auto has seeded

[crownhill]

A week or so ago I took the upper buds as they were ready. I left the lower ones to finish off.
Now the lower ones have seeded. I harvested this way on 3 previous plants of this strain, auto chocolate cream with no problem.
I have a similar aged girl of the same strain in the room and 2 younger autos of a different strain.
No sign of any male bits and I've never had a male in there so no residue pollen.
Can cutting the higher buds have caused this?
Will the seeds be any good,,?
I'm a novice grower.

Cutting the top probably had nothing to do with. I have had branches break off plenty of times without any herming.
The seeds will be fems and will grow if you allow them to fully mature on the plant. I am growing a bagseed from some dispensary stuff right now that has shown no signs of herming so far. At day 60 or so of flower.. but there is that risk

Ok. I will leave the seeds to mature, then separate them from the rest of the buds. I've grown regular plants outside on guerilla grows which seeded and the smoke was fine. Looks like it's just one of them things. Thanks for the info.

The majority of my life there were seeds to remove. Its not going to make the product any less potent

40 years ago in London, weed with seeds and other bits was called bush, without seeds was called sensi. All imported in them days. Never knew of people growing it here. Very limited. Now I think most weed grown here. Some comes up from Spain.

I smoked Mexican brick for the majority of my life. Still have a rolling tray with the seed collectin slot

Dont miss those days

There were male parts somewhere . Seeds don't just pop up like that .

There's another girl same age in the room. No sign of any seeds

I remember that stuff and it was pretty strong, got the same bush weed in an Amsterdam café in the early 90's and it was called Columbian Grass

There's a strain called columbian gold. In columbia they call it gold grass. A tall plant

I have some columbian gold/panama red ibx i just picked up from akbb. Cant wait to see what it turns out like

 

[crownhill]

I'm sure you'll enjoy it

I'm sure you'll enjoy it

Akbb has some great old genetics. I did some nl5/haze of his a few years ago that was very close to what i remember it being in the 90's.
Would have to get my 80yr old father to hit this stuff to say if its similar, but my mother would probably kill me for that.

But it could have been the straw that broke the camels back so to say. Would explain such a low prevalence of pollen.

The seeds will be fems and will grow if you allow them to fully mature on the plant.

No males in the environment means that it had to be herm pollen and the seeds will all sprout female, but since they are self pollinated from a less sexualy stable plant, they will have a higher rate of herming the your original seed stock

I think I'll have a go with these seeds. Another outdoor guerilla grow. I'm still learning.

Most likely rodelized. It happens.

Plant selfs itself to preserve line.

1. Rodelization: Rodelization is a technique that takes advantage of the natural tendency of some female cannabis plants to produce male flowers late in the flowering stage. By allowing the female plants to continue flowering beyond their normal harvest time, they can develop male flowers and produce feminized seeds. This method requires careful monitoring and timely collection of the mature seeds.

Seeds will be fem. Grow them out or give them to me.

I will look over the plant again tomorrow, see if there's anything I've missed.
