hey guys, its my first time growing, i've used fem. seeds and am just over 4 weeks in flower. I'm noticing large pods on just a few of my buds, i felt a couple and they are hard. does this mean that it has been pollinated? if so then one of my two plants must have turned hermie.
Has my plants been pollinated?

a very strong possibility with fem seeds.
no, unless it's a major pollination. The pistils turn brown in a couple of days and the calyx (bud) swells shortly after so that you can actually see the seed bulging inside.are there noticable differences in the flowering development on pollinated buds and sinsemilla? or are there any signs to look for concerning pollination? i just want to know if i'm going to get seedless buds or not, i don't want to get my hopes up.
ok i'm pretty sure i found a couple male flowers along some of the branches, and maybe one in one of the colas
i got some dutch master reverse, so hopefully the male flower problem is solved.
my next question: so my plants have been pollinated and started producing seeds. if no more male flowers grow and no more pollen is spread, then will seeds stop developing? or is it since its been pollinated all it will produce now is seeds?
thanks for your help.....i have some really nice pics of the plants coming up later tonight.

when you say parts, do you mean each individual calyx? or each cola or bud site.
When the pistil catches the pollen and it slides down into the calyx, a seed may develop. If it does, it'll keep growing and if it doesn't (for instance bad pollen) so no seed to grow. Pollen doesn't look like there's as much as there is because each drop is so small. It would be pretty hard to try and seed individual calyx's, so what you usually get is an entire seeded bud. Comparing my seeded bud with an unseeded one at the same level, they look pretty close to the same size, but once all the seeds are removed, that bud will probably not be very big (seeded buds are nice hash making candidates).
