Let them finish. Sounds like they are already pollinated and seeds are forming.. Let it finish and make bubble out of it.

if plants are left flowering to long will they seed?

Yes sometimes. If the recessive trait is triggered this is there last ditch effort to propagate before they die..

i actually had one strain that if you tried to push it past its cut date, it would spontaneously produce seeds without pollenation. never let them get big, so i dont know if they were viable. the fact is like hammerhead said, yes some types can self seed even without pollenation

let them finish and smoke as commercial crap, but it will be stronger than what you can get, or make hash with it! dont kill soon, will lose strength and yield!

I don't know how it would be possible to have seeds without pollen. Your plants most likely have male flowers on the female from possible stress or you have a male in the house somewhere and it is contaminating your flowering room. I've seen pollen sacks form on female plants when taken too long or from stress. Theres not much you can do now.

R U sure they are seeds???

R U sure they are seeds???

Are you sure they aren't just swelling pods - no seeds, just engorged???

Like these



These were White Rhino (or AK48, I forgot) that I grew a couple of yrs back - no males, clones from a momma I kept, and no herms.

Just sayin'...

trust me ultra, i grew it out five times, and watched it carefully, always let one go too long and always got seed formation without ant sign of nanners or flowers. at 9 weeks the plants spontaneously started forming massive amounts of seed and when dried, it was close to 100% of the bud destroyed by immature seed. after that, i dumped the cut.

definately not saying that is what happened here at all, but it is possible to get spontaneous seeding. like i said before, dont know if the seeds would be viable on not, and is not a trait i would want to further either, but it can happen.

if they were mine, i'd let it ride, keep it going till they're done

i'd be searching every little nook and crevice of every plant for a nanner, it only takes one to pop and cause the seeds

if you cut it right now it will be harder to get the seeds out since they will be smaller and undeveloped, it will also not be nearly as strong as it should be, the smoke will be harsher but it'll do the job...man i have had some sativas that got a bit of pollen real late, like 2 weeks before chop, i didn't know, well i found out once i smoke some, when you ground it up you'd see tons of these tiny little ball undeveloped seeds, your jay would pop pop! much easier to get them out if they're mature or at least close
