Only grew two female clones, but still got seeds.

8 weeks into flower and I see the first seed, even though I had no males ever. Not a total loss, still got lots of flower, my question is, when should I harvest them?

Was going to wait until trichomes start turning amber, but some areas where seeds have matured, look to be dying, which makes sense. They're really frosty, but no amber anywhere. Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated!!! Thank you.

If you don't wait till they start to amber you may be disappointed with the results, I'd say if trying to harvest as soon as you can wait at least until all trichomes are cloudy. As for seeds a light leak or stress can easily cause a plant to hermi.

Really not an issue as I see it. The seeds are there no matter what so just finish the plant as you like and collect them as you crumble or grind for smoke. Free seeds are always a good thing and you know exactly what you will grow with them. If you like you can start cross breeding in the strain with father/daughter, mother/son, brother/sister then pick your best pheno which is reinforced genetically so stable if continued. Of course if you are just in it for supply, none of this matters to you so keep buying seeds. It's no more work either way as you are still caring for plants just the same however you can really be in charge; just keep careful records or you will be completely lost. Did I mention FREE SEEDS!

It's a lot of work but one could remove the ripe seed and dry bits.
