• I’m feeling bad, please help.

      I’m in the last week, final flush.

      I have found one seed, one rogue seed, did a comprehensive search and could not see any more or any more forming.

      Has anyone else experienced this?

      I googled it and got conflicting results.

      Should I expect more at harvest time?

      I had a herm last grow but was sure I cleaned the space properly, bugger.

      • This has happened to me here and there. You have nothing to worry about.

        • @mrtimbobway thanks for the input.

          I really appreciate it.

          Soul destroying, as you can probably guess.

          I’ll be ending all the strains I am doing this run anyway and starting fresh with a Runtz Muffin.

          If it’s genetics that should sort it and I’ll give the tent another good clean before I flower the RM.

          Cheers, man.

        • I’ve had the same issue multiple times. In my case I believe it was my environment. I wasn’t able to control the temps and humidity very well and I think the plants were stressed. It definitely wasn’t as bad as I initially thought (maybe 20 seeds out of 10-12 ounces) but definitely disheartening.

          I read somewhere.. I think it was that Mel Frank ,Ed rosenthal book back in the day that sometimes a plant will stress itself in defense of making no seeds and it will create a seed on its own. Its pretty brilliant self defense mechanism that assures the plant will never go extinct. I have had seeds here and there for last 30 years in my sinsi crops and always seen em as lil blessings. At first I thought it was light leaks or something cause youll only find one or two seeds in like half lb or so

          • It happens. Keep an eye out for more. But I’ve harvested many plants with a few seeds in them. My mentor used to swear that they were more potent than sterile buds. It takes about 5-7 weeks for seeds to mature, so I wouldn’t be too worried about finding handfuls of you haven’t already. If they’re there, they’re already there.

            • Plants self themselves due to stress in the environment or the uncontrollable urge to reproduce. Nothing to worry about. Bag seed rules modern cannabis genetics. Toke on!

              • An occasional seed isn’t a problem. Remember, cannabis’ #1 goal, for itself, is to survive to “next season” and to make seeds. Everything we do in our grows tries to deny the plant that goal. Sometimes, it will win just a tiny bit.

                Pull the seed, smoke the flower, and enjoy.

                • Just in my personal experience my last run it was I ran same three strains they were clones also and only on this last run I found maybe 3 or 4 seeds out of a wall to wall 4×4 tent. Maybe I had a light leek, or for one day my timer was unplugged and it got 24 hours of light for a day in mid flower. I was not sure what actually caused them but like I said I found about 3 fully mature seeds out the 4×4. I did save them and I think I’m going to try and pop one and see how it turns out. The strain was jelly breath by the way.

                  • Grow the seed bubba you never know what you will get

                    • If you get one seed from a plant, it’s the plant’s way of rewarding you for giving it a good life. And you get to grow it again. If you get more than one you did something wrong or genetics.
