Im running two 400 watt side by side, one side is Sour Grapes and the other is chem sour. before i induced flowering a chemxsour male spit pollen....i slacked and didnt kill him quick enough. when i chopped him i saw pollen on his fan leaf and a decent amount too.

well fast forward a month and my whole crop is seeded. but im beginning to wonder if its the pollen or maybe my genetics are hermy.

some of the buds are showing nice full mature seeds with the classic brown stripes. but a decent amount of others are showing hermy buds, like half developed still white/green.

and when should i chop these? i swear they were more frosty last week then now. they are at about 6-7 weeks i chopped a bunch last night and they have less frost than the sample buds i chopped last week!!

thanks in advance really need help...
 
When I had to leave for a short business trip, my crop hermed and seeded each other and/or themselves around week 3. I still carefully plucked and wiped away any nanners and remaining pollen when I returned. Chopped 'em at same time as usual. The end product was no less frostier than a non-seeded bud and smoked beautifully.

Now if your buds got majorly seeded, a lot of the plants' energy would go into pumping out healthy viable seeds and less toward bud development. I don't see how pre-existing trichs would disappear though...

If you want to check to see if your plants hermed, just look for nanners on what should be female plants. If you don't see any, then congrats, you just made a cross from the male chemxsour.

how many weeks on average does it take for seeds to mature..because im at 7 weeks and while some of the seeds are already mature and brown theres a bunch that look like nanners....so i guess i seeded a bunch of nanner crops lol.....garbage garbage garbage!

wasting all my time trimming unvaluable bud sucks....
 
So you've got nanners on the same bud as the seeds? Nanners spit pollen. Calyxes are where seeds develop. In any case, tough luck man =\
