False seed pods everywhere!?

I can't really get a picture, because it doesn't look all that strange.

I have a plant that is just starting her 6th week of flowering. Shes bagseed, so the genetics aren't so hot. Most of her hairs are white, but near the bottom of some of the buds, there are clusters of what look like pollinated hairs.

I poked one, and the hairs fell off. Attached to the hair base was what looked like a follicle almost. It was inside of a calyx that had bursted open as if it were releasing a seed, but there are no seeds in there.

I haven't ever had a male in my home or in my grow room. The plant is not a hermie as far as I can tell - and none of the other plants in my room are doing this.

Why the hell are some of these calyxes busting open to release a seed when there are no seeds in them?!

This is one of my better plants, and I really don't want to pull it. But if I have to take one out to better the group I certainly will. I don't understand. I can't find a male flower anywhere on any of them.

I think youre fine. Thats just something that some of them do, its just going through a natural cycle. As long as nothing is forming inside the false pods, nothing to worry about.

Its not pollinating any of the other plants though, and its only in a few spots on the single plant...

There does appear to be a tiny black thing in there, but its definitely not a seed. Maybe an attempt at a seed, but no seed.

I might just chop her now and roll it all up...I'm sure it'll still do its job, but I'm sad because she was one of the nicer plants. I'll let it go a few more days and if I notice any on my other plants, she'll come down first thing.

I still dont think you have anything to worry about. Id finish her like normal. Just b/c it made a pod dont mean it was pollinated, only if it produced a seed it was. But if you do see changes in it or the others, definately chop.

Its not soft or hard really. Its a calyx that has busted open. Kinda in an X shape. It split 4 times and in the middle of the X I can see something odd in there.

But yeah, I'm gonna let her go a few more days and see what happens.
