I just harvested 2 plants. From feminized seeds. All went well as this is 3rd go round. But... I am finding seeds. No male plants have ever been in grow tent. I did not note any abnormal growth, ie pollen pods or banana pods. Both plants looked great. I inspected trichomes to determine when to harves. Any ideas as to what happened and what about, quality of bud? I'm at a loss, any input will be appreciated. What about the seeds I get? Toss or try to grow? Thanks

It would be helpful to have an idea of how much was seeded?
I have a few seeds from grow as you describe. (no other signs).
That said: I have taken seeds from grows that went bad- usually from the 1000w types who stress the plant with light/high temperatures, not corrected. quickly.
In their haste they toss the plants-blaming genetics/light leaks/unstable seed etc.
I get hash and have grown the mature seeds in a more controlled environment with no issues.
When a plant gets stressed for whatever reason - it tries to save itself by creating seeds- If the plant was feminized, I get feminized seeds.

Thanks for the input. The grow was in a tent. 3x3. 2 plants. 600 watt. From what I gathered, sometimes the plant may get shock when flipping to flowering, like oh shit where has all my light gone? Or if in flower too long it may struggle to propagate. Hence seeds. But I didn't see any signs of plant morphing aside from the seeds. Got 10 quart Mason jars from both. Seeds in both. Changed bulb at flowering. Maybe gradually bring lights to 12/12 instead of immediately?

Like Weed Pharma said, "When a plant gets stressed for whatever reason - it tries to save itself by creating seeds- If the plant was feminized, I get feminized seeds." I just harvested one plant from my current grow, no 'nanners', no pollen sacks, but I have found one seed (so far). I have heard that female (or feminized) plants get stressed, they will produce 'female' seeds. I have about a hundred seeds from two plants that 'hermied' on me from the last grow. I plan to germinate some from each of them to see just what comes of them (all fems or a 50/50 mix?). I will let everyone know what happens in a few months.
