I have found what appear to be seeds. Did this plant go hermie? No change in light, no light interruptions , dont know what to do! Is there anything to be done? Based on trichomes it still has some maturing to do. Thoughts?

Hello my friend๐Ÿ˜‰ Unfortunately yes you should have started flushing your plant because on your video it is clear that some trichomes are amber.๐Ÿ‘ But allow me to make you a little rapel on what is hermaphroditism in cannabis A hermaphroditic plant (herma) is a plant of cannabis that has both female flowers and male flowers. Although this is a natural feature of the marijuana plant, this undesirable trait should be avoided for marijuana cultivation, otherwise there is a strong risk of finding seeds in your crop, which will reduce both the quantity and the quality of it.๐Ÿ˜Ž Hermaphroditism (or monoecious) can have two origins, genetic and environmental. At the genetic level, some varieties of cannabis are more sensitive than others to hermaphroditism. This can come from the genetic origins of the variety (the Thai Sativa presents for example a high hermaphroditism), or even the technique used to make the seeds (GA3 ...). Beyond the genetic sensitivity, a cannabis plant can become hermaphrodite under the influence of stress. When the plant feels that the flowering conditions are too difficult, hermaphroditism is indeed a natural way for it to shorten this cycle, causing the fertilization of female flowers by the pollen of some male flowers. Stress that increases the risk of hermaphroditism can have multiple causes, such as: Photoperiod change, including interruption of the flowering nocturnal period Heat too high (> 27ยบC), bad weather conditions Harvest too late, when the ideal harvest date is past Mechanical stress: branches broken by the wind, damaged roots during repotting, size in full flo, etc ...๐Ÿ‘ Watering problem (lack or excess) Excess fertilizer or PK Insects, mites, diseases ... Thermal shock (water the plants with too cold water ...) Use of phytotoxic products (pesticides ..) Good luck for your grow ๐ŸŒฑ May the force be with you ๐Ÿ’ช

It depends how many seeds you have. If you have them sporadically throughout a few buds, it could be the plants natural defense mechanism to continue its lineage, not necessarily hermied. Can you find any pollen sacks? Certain types can produce a few seeds if there was no pollination without hermaphroditic causes. It would no afc hee rest of the plant quality or production, but it does give you a few beans to try.

@greenpinky yes my friend the plant must have gone hermie. It only takes one rogue male pollen sac to pollinate a plant. Now what's gonna happen is the plant will be expending a lot of it's energy into maturing those seeds as well as the flowers but in the mind of the plant it is mission accomplished ie i'ts been pollinated so now it will mainly concentrate on the seed production. All isn't lost however as you will still receive perfectly useable weed and if you wait until they are mature (aprox 6 weeks from pollination) you will also get some feminised seed to use but keep in mind the hermophroditic traits may be passed on to the next generation.
