The only seeds that form actually are bud seeds. What happens is a male's pollen sacks (they actually don't produce seeds they produce pollen sacks) dry and open and release pollen into the air, and land on the pistils (hairs) of the female plant. They then are pollinated and seeds form inside the calyxes (the actual bud flower not the hairs of leaves) and they expand when mature and bust open the calyx slowly with time. This is when you see little white seeds non matured. If your sexing a plant for seeds, you wait untill the seed gets big and bursts the calyx. They then look dark in color and sometimes the better seeds have "tiger stripes" on them. Hope this helped .

Yeah so if there is no male plants you can not make them seed by doing some thing wrong! Thank you!

yes you can. if a plant is stress'd enough it will turn into a hermie, a hermie is a plant with both male and female parts.

on the same bud? How can you tell!

This will only happen in pretty stressful environments though. What wou will see is the "balls" of the male AND pistils and buds.

THAT ... depends on the plants ability to resist stress and it's propensity to hermie... Some genetics can and will hermie with little or no stress at all.

Also, if you started with bagseed, you may have started with seed that was produced by a hermie. And (as we all now know) seeds from a hermie are likely to produce hermies.

I looked at the pic of the late hemmi. My bud does look some thing like that so what does that mean i only have 10 days. does this mean it is no good. i do not fell no seed in the bud!!
