Well you have pistols and If the plant is hasn’t been badly abused towards death lol it’s absolutely not your fault rather the breeder slipping through some junk genetics. Unfortunately bigger breeders are more and more subbing out breeder programs to independent growers to keep up with seed demands, this causes issues
Are these pollen sacks?

Unless it was a one off that hermied due to environmental reasons I wouldn't be happy if it occurred more than once. Like buying seeds that won't germinate. That's why I intentionally planted regular auto seeds this year and managed to get a good male that I used to pollinate around ten female auto plants to get my own seeds so I don't have to buy crap from someone at high prices that don't germinate. I think the regular seeds are just more vigorous, too.
I'm growing one Fastbuds White Widow that I pollinated with a Northern Lights male and with little care it has buds all over it frosting up but now busy making seeds for next year.
That's why I think another breeder has been having issues with several of their new additions all having germination issues I've been seeing posts of here. Sold out everywhere and then sellers get some in and nothing but germination issues.
Interesting info, at 10 bucks a seed, that may be what I have to do as well. Had one not germinate, one mutant and one hermie so far.
From the looks of the nine or ten autoflower plants I have pollinated I won't be buying seeds again for a long time. I think I have five different strains growing that I have pollinated. I pulled off a couple of single seeds to check them out today. Big seeds but still not ready. Many look like they are close to popping out of the buds but I only started pollinating them two weeks ago. I pollinated the one Fastbuds White Widow I was growing with a regular male Northern Lights plant I grew. Also pollinated a couple Northern Lights females, Blueberry and at least one other strain. All are packed with hundreds if not thousands of seeds.
I'm going to let them go as long as possible to make sure the seeds are fully developed. If they are viable then next year I will grow some of my leftover Fastbuds strains and pollinate all those for seeds for future grows and not waste money on worthless seeds that refuse to germinate from a breeder.
I once harvested a bunch of feral hemp growing out in South Dakota. Thousands of seeds fell to the ground where I dragged the plants across a lawn to throw the hemp into a trash compactor. The next year the ground was carpeted with hemp plants from where every seed dropped to the ground. Weed isn't hard to grow, if you pay $10.00 a seed, like I did recently, the seeds should at least be viable.
I pulled another two balls off her today. This sucks! I hope I don't have to throw her out.
I have another Colorado Cookies auto on the go which is on day 16 so hopefully the same thing doesn't happen to her. The reason she is so far behind is because I had issues with the seeds. One didn't germinate, then another germinated, popped up out of the soil but refused to grow. I'll be asking Dutch Passion for a refund if things get worse.
I started two Glueberry OG autos from the same breeder and have had no issues at all with them so I'm thinking it's just the Cookies that are shitty.
I like the idea of producing my own seeds but I'd like to complete a successful grow or two before trying other things. I haven't even tried LSTing yet.
I don't mind paying for seeds as long as they've got good genetics. It's better than buying shitty weed on the streets that has possibly been grown by slaves.

I'm going to have more seeds than I know what to do with pretty soon. I just have to figure out when they are done growing and ready. I pulled three photoperiod plants, all three were huge, one had pollen sacks the other two never showed sex at all yet and I decided to keep two other photo plants of another strain that sexed female. Hadn't grown either before and figured five huge plants were to much to risk outside. The smell was just inviting someone to rip me off.
I had to get to the 12 legal plant limit just to play it safe. I have 10 auto plants growing. I pollinated six of them and I'm likely going to have thousands of auto seeds for free.
I didn't need any actual bud, I vacuum packed and froze 22 ounces after a good cure. Have several other ounces still in small jars for personal use now. 1 ounce of hash made with dry ice.
Figured this year would be perfect to grow a large quantity of auto seeds for a first attempt. I have three Blueberry autos in five and seven gallon pots that are about four feet tall and just showing sex as female.
An ounce will last me a year smoking it if it is good stuff. I also make cannaoil for edibles but I use mostly trimmed sugar leaves and small buds for the cannaoil, basically waste and the cannaoil in edibles or hot chocolate is so strong I can barely get out of a chair sometimes.

Where are u located ?
I definitely feel your frustration!
I am somewhere in Ireland.
I've pulled off six or seven sacs altogether in the past few days. Should I just cut my losses and get rid of her? At what point do I need to worry about her ejaculating all over my tent? She's 26 days old.
