Beautiful buds with tons of seeds

[jwar]

My last grow I switched to leds, I had a very good crop, the buds were beautiful but they were full of seeds. I have been growing for several years and never in countered this problem before with my old lights' can someone help me? I have always used female seeds from Nirvana seeds and have never had a male plant in my grow room.

For you to have tons of seeds, something pollinated your girls. Unless they Hermied. Are you sure there weren't any other Pot plants near by ?

[jwar]

There where no other plants anywhere near these. the seeds came on really late and the plants matured very early ( 6 weeks ). The stuff is really good and all the buds dont have seeds. I had 4 different kinds growing but the master kush didn't do as well. I did have problems with it getting to tall and cut it back well into flower. I mainly need to know if the led lights could cause this (lights to close). I have been getting my seeds from nirvana for 10 years, never had a male

U had a roster in the hen house last grow,or u pollinated it going in and out!
If u trust the seed co.not to screwup! Lol

Yeah, the LED was not the cause. One of your ladies hermied is all. Maybe the timer for you light glitched?

[UrbZ]

Plenty of people grow with led never heard of anyone saying the leds caused seeding.

[jwar]

I didn't think so but that was the only thing that i did different this time. I have to think I stressed it and made it go hermie. I knew it was too late to prune it but I did it anyway. Live and learn

[kingfish]

Did you check for light leaks?

[jwar]

I did check for light leaks weren't anymore than in the past, I have fixed all that i could find before I started this grow. It just kinda scared me, I have been doing everything the same for the last 10 years and I just couldn't think what might have changed.

It wasn't the LED, one just hermied, an so some of your seeds, should you ever try to grow any, they also have a good chance to hermie, but also a good chance to be female seeds too. A few seeds never hurt anything anyway.

[D.A.A.S.69]

Yeah, I wouldn't throw those seeds away.

[kingfish]

When was the last time you bought some really good weed with seeds in it? Look at the bright side. If your plant hermied, then they are all female seeds. I have personally grown some ass kicking weed from my own hermied seeds.

[St.buds]

I would definitely grow those seeds

[Cronk]

free seeds.

[alltatup]

jwar That happened to me on my last grow: my C99 hermied, and all the plants had some seeds--mostly tiny and undeveloped. So I went back and re-read what causes hermies, and in my case, I think it was too much heat during flowering, which caused the stress. I think you prolly got your cause right.

[LaughingBuddha]

Sex happened. Only sex causes seeds.

[CoolHand]

'Masturbation??......

[GroJimmy]

Light stress will cause this, some strains are more susceptible to this kind of stress, had this happen in the past, keep those seeds, I bet they will be viable, save the darkest seeds.

[jwar]

when you say light stress what do you mean? Lights to close, to much light or heat from lights. I have 3 450 leds in a 2*4 room, I was told this would be the right amount I dont want this to happen again so Im thinking about going back to my old light ( 600 watt) thanks for your help

[GroJimmy]

This is from my experience, light changes that are severe, like going from CFL to a powerful led or hps can stress a plant, interruption of light cycle i.e., power outages or surges. Also if heat issues are present, seeding can occur. I bump my lights up in small increments, CFL, T5, then HPS using dimmer function, I run a three station setup. If you only use feminized seeds, those seeds will be 98% feminized. Keep them! They are terrific to use as practice. I haven't had a plant seed on me in several years, but I still have hundreds of seeds and they still sprout, and not one problem. I admit I was bummed at first, as they are a hassle in the bong if you miss one.

[jwar]

Now that you bring it up I think I didmake a change from hps to led bout 2 weeks into flower. I only use fem. seeds because my grow area is to small to take a chance on males lol. I am about 3 weeks into my present grow and everything looks ok, the last grow looked good until about the last week. Thank you for your help

[GroJimmy]

Glad to help.

I wouldn't think switching from HPS to led would make your plant hermie,, i do that every grow, with no seeds.
