Hey All.
This is my first post and I am new to the site. I think my 3 females have become "hermies" in the end of flower. The flowers are staring to grow these giant whitish clear pistils. My research tells me they are bananas. But I cant find out if this will stop the plant from making THC. This is also my first grow, and I am going to post as much relevant information as I can, but I am happy to answer any questions. I am growing "Jillybean" by Original Kush Seeds from Pacific Seed Bank. It's supposed to be a sativa leaning hybrid. The Plants are grown in Cocoa under a Mars TS 600. Additional lighting added during flower. I've topped the hell out of them. Their finished height is 12-14 inches and just as wide. Each plant has about 12 tops or so. I have been feeding them the General Hydroponics line up plus Bud Candy and Flower Fuel, added week 2 of flower. I flipped them to flower 1/24/2020. They're now 8 weeks into flower (3/23/2020).
During flower, I have struggled, and even somewhat failed to keep the temp in the 70's. I grow in the closet and the smell is so strong, my exhaust fan has to be full blast 24 hrs a day. Sucking the perfect temp creating heat out from the lights. The lights are close to the tops, so the tops of the plants are about 80 degrees. A few times in weeks 6/7, I had accidentally left the lights on an extra 3-5 hrs. Maybe 3x. If these have stressed the girls to the point where they have begun to hermie this late in flower, should I pull them and harvest? The trichomes are clear and just starting to change to cloudy i believe. Or should I let them go for the last 1-2 weeks and snip off the thick looking pistils off the buds when I harvest? My concern is the plants are no longer producing THC, and focusing on the bananas. If that's the case they can only get worse. And lower in quality. I really dont care about a few seeds, I am worried about the plants THC content now going down. Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Thank You in Advance
