ok for some reason one of my two plants produced what seems to be a very marginal amount of seeds in the buds. I can tell by the amount of flowers turning red that the plant has only 2 weeks left AT THE MOST. Even though the amount of seeds looks small (from what I can see by inspecting the plant), I am still worried because all the males were pulled within a week of the 1st preflowers appearing, and the plant did not herm (no male anatomy visible).
The plant looks 100% like a legit female allover, and I see no signs of a hermaphrodite present. This makes me worry that maybe only like 1 or 2 pollen sacks showed up?? Thats more than enough to ruin a crop....but is it possible for a plant to be "mildly hermaphroditic" to a point, and only have about 2 or more male pollen sacks, and the rest female calyxs?
If the majority of the plant has 100% female flowers, you are dealing with an intersex plant, not a hermaphrodite. The problem is that intersexual traits can be genetic and/or from environmental stress, so unless you are very familiar with your strain it can be hard to pinpoint the root cause.
Edit: I just looked at the pics in your other thread. The big ridges between the veins of the leaves and their "claw" appearance would lead me to believe there have been temp problems and/or salt buildup. When was the last time you flushed them?

an irregular light schedule can cause this issue as well.
Also, males produce sacks before the fems start flowering pistels. The pollen sacks sometimes have a sort of pre-cum. Just the same as calyxes that finish their cycle first and go red haired before the rest.
I think it sounds like a cross contam when you pulled it. Did you sack the male, and disinfect the place? It only takes a couple of microscopic spores to pregnate just a couple of calyxes.
