First Harvest-PLEASE HELP!

I am a first time grower & I posted in Newbie Central a while back about little green horn things that appeared on my buds about mid-way through flowering. Only 1 person answered & said nothing to worry about, that they were just getting "horny"...like it was a good thing. I am close to harvest & have been checking my buds (which are under 2000 watts of light) with a 100x scope with a little blue light on it. I decided to check the plants during the dark cycle. When I was checking them, a seed rolled out into my hand. This is the first time I (or any of the experienced growers that have been in my room throughout my grow cycle) have seen any signs of seeds! Of course I freaked out, but was told it wasn't necessarily a bad thing. I have, upon further inspection, found seeds in all of my plants. They vary in size from mature seeds to just-starting-to-form seeds. Some of the plants don't have a lot of amber tricones, so could use more time. I just put 4 new plants in my flower room, 3 of which are all ready flowering. If I don't pull all of the plants that have seeds, will they pollinate the new plants I just put in there?! I'm thinking I should take them all tonight?! PLEASE HELP!!

Don't freak out over the seeds; sensemilla is highly over-rated. The best weed I've ever smoked had seeds in it. Just save the seeds in case it's some good pot and you want to grow more.

About the amber trichs, amber gives you couchlock and if that's what you're shooting for then that's when you should chop. But if you're wanting a more heady, trippy high, then chopping when they are mostly cloudy, some clear, and some amber would be best.

My buddy has had a few seeds come from 100% female plants. Or at least they seem 100% female. He does say he stresses the plants near the end of flowering with some extra light in the cycle. Perhaps this causes a few sacs to grow. To be honest I am of the impression that a vagina absolutely cannot produce a baby without some sperm. But I have also seen seeds come from his freshly harvested female plants. If this is true, God made cannabis with the intention that it will grow whether it is propagated or not.

From personal experience, I dont entirely agree. True, your plants produced seeds because they were stressed, whether the stressor was light,nutrient, etc induced im not sure. From now until you harvest the plant, all of the useable energy the plant creates from photosynthesis will go directly into seed production. This is the plants way of ensuring the survival of future generations. So in THEORY, your buds wont get much bigger or better looking before harvest. However, they are hermaphrodites and not true males, so they shouldnt be producing pollen, just seeds. In that case, your other plants will be fine, and the ones that hermed on you will remain neutral in growth and simply produce larger, healthier seeds. Your herb will still be smokeable, just not a sinsemillia crop. So enjoy what youve got and focus all of YOUR energy into a more productive harvest for next time . Hope this helps!

Thanks for all of your feedback. There are 6 different strains & all have seeds. It's true that my plants had a lot of stress in their lives from when they were small clones up until now, due to various factors, but would that make ALL of the plants in the room turn to hermies? I read on here that the clones have the same tendencies as the mother. If so, one of the new plants I put in to flower is a clone from the same mother that got the little green horn looking things, which is where I believe the whole seed thing started. Should I pull that one just in case it's those clones causing it? I appreciate that not all good weed is sinsemilla, but, since that's what I am trying to grow, I'd like to prevent seeds if I can.

Let me start with 1 simple fact: most of the answers given to you are false and full of bullshit advice.

Your plant went hermi and produced male pollen sacks (the horns) and then pollinated itself and maybe others in you grow. U said a seed fell off the plant, sounds like a mature seed, meaning the plant went herm early in flowering. There is no "immaculate conception" here or anything. Pollen was spread.
Your buds that are seeded are not going to get any better or bigger, the plant is now focused on seeds not flowers .

If you keep the clones from that herm plant and grow them in the same environment they too are likely to herm just like mommy did. If u decide to run the clones just keep a close eye out for " horns" and remove them at first sign if them appearing

the horns were the pollen sacks. whoever told you otherwise ws incorrect. shoulda gotten rid of horns or plants at first sight of horns. they are also known as bananas, because of how they look.

Hermi or not how do you think the plant could produce seeds without producing pollen or being pollinated? Male and hermi plants both produce pollen which is capable of pollinating a female flower...
