How'd these seeds get here? lil help?

[oaktree]

Yesterday was a sad day for me, i was looking over the plants and my buddy and i found seeded bud... seeds were pretty much popping out of the calyxes. Now it appears as if some of the plants are more seeded then some of the others, We clipped sample buds of each to see if we could determine how bad it was. Some buds appear to have a lot, some only a few. My questions are

Since they are at day 45 of 12/12 and some of the seeds are harding up does this mean they we're pollinated from the get go?

Would it be possible that light leaks caused the plants to form seeds? i thought there would need to be male flowers for this to happen? and after examining the plants it doesn't appear that there are any male flowers.

The only other explanation would be 2 males that were culled early on in the grow actually released some of their pollen... is it possible for male plants to release pollen before they are even sexed? or shortly after? i believe they were culled like a week into 12/12 but the other grower told me he saw a "yellow dust" around the edge of the net pot the plant was in. How much pollen could have been released in such a short time?

How nice of a smoke can we expect from seeded bud... i mean the genetics are very nice (Double Strawberry Diesel from Rez and Biko II from AnnaC and if the seeds are from pollen they were from a very vigorous and bushy Blue Satellite 2.2 from SOL) I'm just not sure how this happened, i guess if the Blue Sat's did in fact release pollen that would be it. Will the room always have pollen in it now, what should we do to take care of this? Will there even be any smokeable bud from these plants? Thanks for any help

It seems to me that if you haven't been able to find any males (although it only takes one little bit of pollen) it must have been from light leak or perhaps stressed growing environment, several plants of mine in previous grows have gone hermie and produced seeded bud because of stressful growing conditions (high temps and lack of water ran for three days before I could fix it). Although seeded bud isn't what you want looks wise, alteast you have a stockpile of good genetics now.

edit: was reading your post more carefully, of course you can still smoke the bud! all of the bud is smokable! and with good genetics it wont be nearly as bad as you think its going to be! the worst you have to do is take the seeds out before you roll that jay man! blaze up freely buddy!

good luck

the same thing happened to me, but all my seeds are tiny and a bitch to get out of the sacs, im pretty sure I stressed her out and she hermied... Cause the only male showed his sacs for a day max and was then disposed of. Frusterating, but I will be more careful this next time.

Thanks for the info Trees McGee and crownedsparrow

So it's possible that if there was a light leak that the plants wouldn't even have to show a male flower to cause seeds? They would just start producing seeds? i thought that light leaks would cause a plant to show male flowers and thats how the bud would become seeded? am i wrong there?

still need a lil help ^^^

Seeds only come from pollen from what I have seen. My experience over the years I have had some females that like to throw a few pollen sacks on lower sites during mid flower. Unless you prune allot (I don't) I don't notice those and wind up with some seeded buds occasionally.

I am no breeding expert but a female that pushes a few pollen sacks just seems like a motivated girl doing what ever it can to do to make some offspring.

Like people there is so much variation with plants that I see. You can find females that you can beat the heck out of including light leaks that won't grow balls. (Ideal ones for selfing I believe since they don't produce pollen in stressfull situations)

You can have 0 stress and still have pollen on a female. I have also had some females that like to throw a little pollen at the end of their life, like while I am cutting them down I come across a few pods that were not fully developed yet.

Thanks a lot chimei, you've helped me out, just wasn't finding a solid answer from what i could find.

If you seen yellow dust on a net pot then that was male jiz.Thats where the seeds come from.What strain was the yellow dust under?Might have some good crosses without tryin.And a few seeds in your bud wont hurt nothing.Still be great bud.imo OG

 

[master shake]

well I think you already identified the problem...you said the pot that the male was in had yellow dust around it, so that means if you have any type of air circulation, that pollen will get into some of the girls. I had a plant that threw some pollen sacks but were hidden between a few buds and only those buds were pollinated, rest of plant only had a couple scattered seeds. I didn't discover this until chop and I saw 2 open dried male flowers and my heart sank, but hey it turned out just fine and I still have the genetics.

 

[marley1]

yellow dust and he didn't give you a ring or post here? booooooooooooooo

all good, seeds for summer?

 

[wreckMEplease]

Sorry to hear about the seeds oaktree, im sure they will turn out just fine. It is too bad you have no idea who the donor plant is, guess you're in for a treat when you decide to pop those seeds.

Wreck!

Hey all, well i know the plant, it was a Blue Sat. 2.2, i just wasn't sure if the pollen was still floating around the room or if it was even possible for a male to throw pollen like a week or 2 into 12/12. I just know that there was yellow dust on the ring of the net pot around the Blue Sat. 2.2 before it was chucked about a week or 2 after the switch from 12/12. i think it would be a nice cross, but i haven't seen Blue sat personally, and the male that threw the pollen was still young but very bushy, short, compact plant.

Yea Marley1 some possible summer seeds

Hope we're in for a real treat Wreck! I think one of the DSD's are more pollinated then the other 2. I think we got lucky and the nicest one may only have a few seeds.

Peace all, thanks for the feedback

if youve had pollen released in your room and it seeded some females you will get seeds

on another quewstion you asked about pollen always going to be there in the future? yes it will bwe there and could still be viable a couple of grows down the road to polinate another crop again like to grows down the road.

so you must clean everything out in the room after this hrvest with a strong bleach solution i like to use 10% diluted bleach water with a little simple green in it

intake filters and exhaust filters and walls and crevices and nooks and crany's need to be vacumed and thouroughly cleaned and take down fans and clean them up real good cause what if som pollen is stuck on the bloades of fans (intake, circulation, or exhaust carbon filters) and they get to spinning and polinate you next crop.

pretend you are MONK and clean clean clean after this grow and youll be fine

every square inch need gone over with a "fine tooth comb" so to speak, to rid the room of leftover deposited pollen
