Well its quite obvious its hermed if you have seeds. Just don't use this for future clones and start over from someones cutting or a reliable seed source. That doesnt mean you cant enjoy your harvest though. I have had some awsome tasting weed that had seeds in it. Just finish it up, and keep a paperclip next to your pipe for when you taste that "glue" taste

those are definately seeds. Your plants have been pollenated an from the looks of it they have been for a while. Unless there is some rogue pollen from a male, there is definately at least one hrmaphrodite in your garden.

I would finsh. Seeds are easier to remove if you let them grow out. You should finish what you started and bleach the environment after you chop em. Its sad to see this after all that electricity consumption. Buts its common problem, A lot of growers try to maximise their yeild by "stressing" plants. Whether that be in the form of high heat, too many nutrients, too much light in bloom, or even shinging any amount of light in its dark cycle for longer than a minute can cause this. Enjoy what you created though. Seeds are only bad if you smoke em. So what if you have to spend a little extra time pickin seeds out of bowl?

No seeds develop in patterns and all at once. IF you harvest it now you will smoke little underdeveloped seeds pods that will be difficult to remove and you will still taste that "glue". Just harvest as you normally would until the trichromes are 60% foggy under a loupe or a magnifying glass and youll be glad to be picking out large seeds instead of little ones
really the only problem with the seeds, at the stage your at, is that the plant is putting out energy towards developing the seeds and not putting as much energy as it could to producing THC. I'm no expert, first grow myself, but I would clip the buds with signs of seeds (if less than 25% of the buds are "contaminated") so that the plant will focus more energy towards the "clean" buds. I would also flush them at least 4 days before you snip to get rid of any excessive build up of minerals in the plant/bud that you will be smoking. Thats my 2 cents from what I have learned.

Well that wouldnt work because when you find seeds they are already on the inside of every bud on your plant. There may be an entire plant without seeds in which case you could isolate it but your better off getting a bigger yeild and just finishing and try to figure out what caused your stress issue in the first place so you can know for next time. The tucks dude is right ^^

You shouldn't chop if those are the only plants in your space...
How big is your grow area? Were there only females going into flower?
Hermie seeds really aren't too bad especially if those plants are you only harvest... hell you can plant the hermed seeds and the majority of the plants from those seeds will be female with the others being hermie. Not too bad of an option imo.
