I have grown a few auto's inclduing Autoberry from marijuana-seeds.nl and A. kush ryder from WOS.
I was pleased with the end harvest and the smoke was excellent, but I noticed that when i broke the bud down, i saw what looks like very small seeds (about the size of the period at the end of the sentence). Not in every nug just randomly here and there.

Is this common or an isolated occurence?

I'm wishing I did now...
I was wondering if it could've been pollen from outside, but as the fall and winter harvest approached I still had this occure.

I haven't ever heard of that. Does this happen on every crop or just one? Any stress or infestations?

It's happened on my last 3 trials. Now that i think of it, yes; I've had an on going batlle with these very very small what looked like termites in the soil, they'd show their self when I watered the plants and seem to have been transfered with the "sterilized soil" I bought from HD... Not to mention no pesticide would kill them. Eventually i just gave in, as they didnt seem to be affecting the plant above the soil. Finally i stumbled across some info on sterilizing soil and after microwaving it, now they're 100% exterminated.

I have a feeling you were helping breed them. I think they are eggs. Happy smoking...

I'm guessing false seed pods.

Yes, but from what>> the infestation? could it be the herm risk in fems?

nah, they're empty and literally the size of this period>>>.

As i mentioned before this deosn't seem to affect the taste or smoke in general of the bud (IMO)...
ne1 else ever had this happen with auto's?

maybe a late herm. just 1 naner could do it...the little hard dots are the start of seeds I bet..

yea. false seed pods. Late hermi, you need to be super careful with auto's. When they are done, they will immediately hermi, in hopes of pollination.

Just the genetics of the short lifespan of an auto.

It's the unfertilzed seed bro. Its connected to to the base of the "hairs". If it got fertilized it would swell into a seed .... I gotta pic somewhere of one still connected to the hairs

Take any calyx off your plant and you'll find this....

i get those all the time and could not figure out where the hell they were always coming from. i only once found them in a bag of bought nuggets but they turn up a lot in the stuff i have grown. not always though, and they are way more pronounced in the early cut testers
