So do we cut everything or what happens¿..

Let it finish and stop touching it, you're just helping spread the pollen everywhere. Hopefully its sterile, only some of what you pictured are pollen sacs anyway, just relax and ride it out.

What about the seeds in the buds¿ should we pick those out¿ I'll let it ride out but there's alot of those everywhere, was just posting what I could see :p.

most all of those pictures are normal female calyx development. Whenever you see the white/ red/ brown hairs that’s the pistil female reproductive structure. You will always notice sticky to the touch and a Fine veneer of resin trichombes even early on in the bloom cycle. The good shit.
you do have one/ two hermi pollen sacs. As discussed in another thread any seeds found on that plant are self pollinated xx seeds with over 95% chance of being female. Not all hermi is bad. Depends on the type of stressed used to induce the development of the pollen sacs.

Are seeds from hermies any good?

I recently started flowering some fem seeds from hindu kush & girl scout cookies strain. Unfortunately due to my subpar skills two of the plants turned into hermies. Will the seeds from the these plants be any good? I figured if so it would at least be something I could salvage from this mostly...

They look good, a bit bigger than what I would have done, but they will be great. Having that extra bit of soil is fine, and will allow your rootball to do anything it wants, they usually form outward, and not so much down in that kind of medium with those kind of bags, so round is always good, especially if you've got photoperiod there, which is what I took them as being. (I don't see auto's written anywhere)

As for the cool temps, that can be a good thing. My plants often get temps in the high 50's and low 60's all though the nights, it's just warmed up here lately, but I think last night was 61f, so still relatively cool. It's the only way your going to get them deep purple colors, and nice unique terpene production. I dry out the air some by using a dehumidifier/air conditioner unit. One of the portable jobs, it does an excellent job of controlling environment especially with LED lights, although it looks like you've got quantum units, which run much cooler than my big LED units, with onboard drivers. edit: I do see your dirver, if you can get that off the lights, and above/out of the tent, that might be useful also. (again, your in canada? so you know best) You certainly don't want it getting over 75 degreee, if possible, below that is optimal.

They look great.
I would maybe dial them down a little, (small amount) as long as there not getting hot. Usually I can get them within 18-20 inches, but you've got to watch them, see if they can take it. But don't attempt that until you make sure there responding well. Every LED is different, some I can dial down to inches above the plant, some have to stay off. What are the size of your diodes? How many watts? (I've currently got some 6 footers within 6 inches of the light, and it's ok) I think I"m going to put these outside to finish.

I think the 1 and 2 gallon pots are idea for inside, as they seem to be optimum for root ball development of 4-6 foot plants. Also, I get that some of the advanced grower want to see you do something in a beer cup, but that's advanced technique, and if this is your first grow, I think you certainly made a wise decision. Much less to go wrong here, and your plant can reach their full potential...

You realise your plants are showing signs of root lock right? 1 or 2 gallon pots are most definitely not big enough for plants that size.

I was freaking, thought our grow was entirely ruined from what I was reading up on it .. hopefully we didn't spread the problem then

If some seeds do fully form can use them for next grow

I guess over feeding probably caused this

Yes u can grow them. On your next grow m8.. You have just stressed them out. And they make seed to compensate for the stress.. On your next grow.. Use bigger pots. Don't over feed and most importantly just let them grow.. Only do your trimming bending. LST. fimming. Sc.. In veg and let emm run in flower u still will get a nice bud off them m8. Gl and happy growing.. Ps UK bud has seed don't know if u notice.. Every 3.5 I buy I can find at least 2..

Yea, I was aware of it most definitely, I had a lot of plants coming out of the summer and the order got all screwed to hell, so a few of these got set to the side for ahwile. Those big ones were supposed to go outtside somewhere on some land, but they got side tracked because the plans changed, and I didn't have the heart to throw them out.
I should have changed the pots, the harvest would have been much bigger.
I bought 5 bags of foxfarms frog today, (10 cubic feet) so I'm set for soil for awhile. I''ve got other plants right now getting root bound also, so you must have read my mind.

Hopefully I can transfer some of these into 2's and 3's and salvage a decent harvest from them.


These are too late, I fear. Both of these are rootbound too, so if I use the 2's it will help. (next time) When I started with these auto's, the 1's were appropriate actually,, the strain seems to have evolved (of course it did, I put a huge bubba kush into it) since I've put in the new genetics, there getting bigger now.

Thanks for pointing it out.

So do we cut everything or what happens¿..

I would carefully pick some it off if you want, it's just taking up some of the budding energy, so if you remove it carefully, it will divert that energy back to the buds again, and things should be alright, it looks pretty minor to me, but the sac's certainly are concerning. I would pay attention to any signs of seeding also, keep an eye out. was everything "empty" or did it have little lumps in any of it?

Some had little lumps in it & of course there was seeds coming out some of the buds in one of the plants.
.I can go back tonight with tweezers and we can attempt to remove them all. There's quite alot of them n they appear to all be hidden n tucked away.

Shall we attempt operation removal or just let it all grow out

 

[Leelandgrow3]

Shit I would grow it out bro and keep all the seeds. Free seeds for u then u can really ramp it up next grow. Tbh with u I’ve never had a problem with finding seeds in my weed speacially if it’s some gas. And I turn some trash weed in to good weed just by fixing there mess up weather it was not a good flush in the end dryed to fast or did a shitty job curing. Happy growing dude keep it up.

Well th issue this time that stressed them was definitely the feed. I bought another PPM Meter, exact same readings as the one I currently have. So our water truly is 53PPM anyway.

I didn't know organics don't need run off either, just watered enough to have no run off?
Obviously didn't know about the PPM thing with Organics not showing true PPM levels, so while people are doing halve nutrients for water, e.g 5ML for 10L , we were giving it a shit load like 150ML for 10L.

Poor things, no wonder they're turning out th way they are

I'll keep an eye on them anyway, I didn't notice this last feed, but they really were tucked underneath buds etc. Could just be within th last few days its happened, can't be sure.

It’s all good man every grower on here has there learning experience from grow to grow strain to strain. Biggest thing is showing care and love for your plants makes all the better for your plants. Lol I had a home boi that fed them like a buffet I said bro it’s not you going to buffet lol they eat what they need when they need it. Getting to know the strain ur growing and keeping track of every watering and feeding on a calendar helps keep things in check.Here is a pic of an old grow the big Alaskan purple hermied on my still have some seeds from her today I keep seeds out gas street buds if I find any. I have a shit ton of mystery strain seeds.

Very nice XD Yeah I think they were eating it quite well until th burn, but I'd love to know th true PPM levels of it lol
Next grow we'll do 1000x better. I just can't wait till this one is over& start anew

Yeah next run can always be better patience is huge in the hobby.

So this is th only plant out of the 6 that seems to have male parts growing .. So it's the hermie and it's th one with seeds trying to grow in th buds. Question is what to do and what are the chances of the other plants being infected.
We reviewed the other plants and took off calyxs by mistake. But it looks like they all have pistols coming out and are definite female parts. So what should we do ¿ .

 

[iTurniGrow]

Also the hermie seems more ready than th others and still has time left.. there's milky plus Amber. Tried to get pictures but was using my phone onto a microscope lol so the amber didn't really come thru

 

[CFC7143]

Your killing it dude if I was you I'd definitely ignore whatever @ftankster tell you to do ha

Try to use the buds to judge if the Trics are the right color. Leaves can be less helpful
