I dont think they have been pollinated as we have no males and no hermies. We have carefully checked each plant and no male pollen balls at all

I thought the same thing when I saw the pistil color.

Never having grown that strain I suppose it is slightly possible that it is not an uncommon pistil color for that point of growth but normally when you see brown pistils it is a sign of impregnation.
　
If it is impregnated so are you.

Well that made us curious so we pulled an ovule to see if there was a seed inside and found nothing but sticky resin that tasted like fruit

Of course we all hope for your sake that you do not have an impregnated plant or plants but in my last run I evidently had a very late hermi that I was unable to spot. I did see the same brown pistil coloration and out of the entire crop I only found one single seed.
　
The pollination occurred late enough that seeds, almost totally, were not produced but the process to create them had begun and it did effect the quality of the bud.

You may not find a single seed due to how late pollination may have occurred but that will not be proof it did not occur.
　
I hope it is not the same in your case as was mine.

Monitor the trich color closely and daily and then harvest when the trich color will give you the high or stone or combination of each you most enjoy.

How did it adversly effect potency in your instance? Or was it in taste? Thanks for all the help
