Herma?

This is auto lemon haze. Flowers have calyxes like this. No bananas, no pollen sacs. But some of these calyxes have seeds inside. Is this a herma? Does it reduce efficiency? Can I use the seeds?

Those are the calyxes from your first preflowers. If you're finding seeds, a pollination took place at some point- likely from a banana. That can happen, part of nature "finding a way" if you know what I mean. True hermies don't push bananas, they make pollin sacs- looks like clusters of little balls that release A LOT more pollin. You can use self pollinated seeds- that's basically how most feminized seeds are made using colloidal silver. Those seeds will carry the same genetics as the parent though, including tendencies to hermie or push bananas.

If their are seeds pollination happened somehow, Was it from one of the plants in the tent? Maybe Was it from a plant outside the tent? also Maybe. How'd the pollen get in, good question, it can hitch a ride on you or the wind, and if it was already in the tent from a nanner or ball sack that opened then its just a soup of pollen and air in their being circulated. unless you planed to make seeds, don't grow em. Lots of good reasons why are listed below, but also you have no idea of the cross or where the pollen came from, could be a bunk plant or hemri, just not worth your time. Toss em in a public garden and let em freakout about it. But not one to close to your house don't need that pollen travelling though the air to your place. Good Luck!

If they have seeds, your plant has male flowers somewhere. Which means the plant is a hermie. Seeds made this way WILL NOT be feminized. They will carry dominant genes for being hermies. So, no good to use, unless you are trying to develop a pure breeding hermie strain!
