ive done a cross for seed
as i usally grow clones but for a number of reasons i cant for the next few years

just wanted to know if there were any signs to tell you could pull the plants
all the seed is still green by the look of things

any ideas

and apoligies if this is in the wrong place wally

oh and it has been about 1 month since pollination if this helps
all tropical sativa crosses with a 13-15 week flowering period

If the seeds are still green then it is not ripe, your best bet w/an unknown tropical sativa is to pull a couple seeds off every week and check the development. Usually seed is finished for me in 4-6 weeks, so you will probably be finished pretty soon.

Be safe and best of luck.

I do the same by pulling a couple off every other day I normally wait about three weeks into flower to get a large amount of pistols and then normaly let them go a week or two longer than the unseeded plants, a good way to check is to crack a bean or two open and examine how developed the cotyledons and roots are if they are not ready there will be more liquid than actual plant matter inside the seed, generally once they have gone brown on the outside they should be ok, but this has only been on 8-9 week plants so im not sure if 14-15 week plants need longer
