Are these seed pods? Am I hooped?

So I was checking my garden today, and I see what looks like pods on all my lower bud sites. Swollen like they're seed sacks. I don't see any male pollen sacks, and, while firm, these sacks don't seem to have anything in them when I squeeze except white plant matter.

They're in day 1 of week 7, and I've never grown before. Is this a normal thing, or did I somehow get pollen/hermie and from stress?

EDIT: Yup, I was poking around the underside of my plant and found seeds. Something's up, but I can't find bananas. Is my crop done? What now?

And just for funsies, a close-up of my trichs

yep, seeded.
Must have been a banana somewhere you missed.

Yep. I found a seed or 2. I'm guessing heat stress, light leak or bad genetics (they were bag seed).

Can't find bananas anywhere after looking, but they're definitely there. So now what? I'm not sure what the yield will be, but I don't want to lose everything with 2-3 weeks to go.

I guess, flush for the next week and harvest a week early? I'll get seed, but still some smokeable matter, right?

yep your seeded, that one pic is a bunch of seeds. look up under from bottom of the plant, look for any yellow colors, if see any yellow carefully examine to make sure its not a open flower pod with pollen ready to spread. Those seeds look like there few weeks into development.

Bag seed means they either were from hermi or random male got them somehow. Did you grow more then 1 seed and if so were they all female? I wouldnt pick early especially if its your only plants. Yes its still smokeable just have to take seeds out as you smoke it.

I grew 3 seeds, all from bag-seed. They all turned out female. I was going over the undersides of my plants, and I didn't see anything, but I don't really know what I'm looking for - I did find a few things that look like open flowers, but it's so heavily seeded on the bottom I can't tell. There's also a small chance that, because my intake is coming from outside, I got some pollen drug through from somebody growing outside. Next time I'm adding a better pre-filter to the intake.

Grow log is below:

This is my first grow, so I didn't want to use my high-quality seeds (sent courtesy of a care package I sent meself from Amsterdam). I have a stash of the good quality seeds in my fridge, so this was just a first grow to figure out wth I'm doing. I assumed mistakes would happen, just not this big of a boo-boo. But, would rather have the shit seed do this than lose the jack herer/blueberry/durban poison.

You figure I should go to full term 8-10 weeks? Or flush now and chop at week 8?

Sounds like hermis bagseed since all seeds were female. Are the seeds only at the bottom buds? Id go full term for highest quality smoke

True. I'm a little angry at myself for not noticing it earlier, but this is why we grow and learn our lessons. I have the good greenhouse seed co and dutch passion seeds in my fridge, so I'm not super concerned about the next grow. I'll just take the lessons learned in this one and apply it to the next one. I mean, my goal the whole time was to get SOMETHING, not super dank greatest-ever. Looks like I'll be getting a harvest, PLUS a few gifts.

Also: NI!!

Yeah. All seem to be at the bottom on the new stuff that grew after pruning their undercarriages a couple of weeks back. Which means - I'm guessing here - the hermie started on the new growth. Unless the seeds are really buried in the main colas.

I mean, the big lesson is try to schedule my grows so they finish in Late May instead of July. Then the second grow to end early Dec.

Very common for hermi genetics to hermi on lower branches, I call it low light stress hermis. How far into bloom did you remove the lower branches? If it was 3rd week into bloom or little after you probably removed the hermis branches at that point if not seeing any.

I've been gradually pruning, but because I'm doing a SCROG, I tried to keep the undersides as clean as possible. So I would defoliate the bottom every couple of weeks to keep air flow consistent as I was establishing the canopy. The last 2-3 weeks I let the bottom stuff grow out because apparently you're supposed to avoid pruning too much in flower. I figured I'd just get low quality popcorn I could use for bubble hash or something. Lesson learned.
