pluck seeds off flowering plant?

[jimi]

hi, i have a female in early bud stage (maybe like 3 weeks after first pre-flowers appeared. it`ll be awhile til harvest still, but it got pollinated and i`d like to know if i could pluck off the visible seed pods so as to save energy for the buds. thanks in advance.
(days later) i`ve gotten some great advice from those who i thank for their help. the buds are still not so bushy that i can`t see the seed pods and i suppose i could easily snip them off, but i`ve been told it`s like a winless war, or could be, so to just hang in there for the ride and see how she makes out. fun fun fun, like always. thanks again, community. happy growing!

if you know the difference between flowers and seeds yes but I don't think seeds would have grown so early

[jimi]

thanks for your response. it may be later on in the flowering stage. i`m not so meticulous. but they`re seeds. it just started to show red hairs not long ago, maybe like ...i`ll post a pic. but at the base of buds i see some obvious fat seed pods and have already plucked off a few to see if indeed they were seeds, and they were. ok, so i won`t stunt it`s growth by plucking them off?

[jimi]

i mean, it`s worth the trouble of plucking off the seeds to make the buds more potent in the end?

If you got pollinated your girls will be chock full of seeds unfortunately

[jimi]

damn depressing, but thanks for the news, so i`m not surprised.

Even if it does end up seeded and like D.A.A.S.said there might be only a few (fingers crossed) it should still be decent smoke and you will have plenty of seed to play with. I've had it happen to me more than once and sure its disappointing but I have enough seeds to Jonny appleseed a field lol and someday I just may.

keeping fingers crossed and hoping for the best. i appreciate the advice. cool runnins.

If that's your only plant ,that's about all you can do , sometimes you don't even have many seeds in your buds at harvest.

[jimi]

ok, thanks, now to study proper harvest time for my baby and her babies (seeds).

Pictures would really help.

It sounds more like some swollen calyx than seed pods.

[jimi]

oh no, i plucked a few off and they`ve already got some young seeds

Little too early for seeds but take a picture of a few.
