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 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!
