A few of the heads are swollen. I see milk and clear. Watch the heads, when the majority are swollen it's ready. From then on it's personal preference on how much couch-lock you want.
Maybe a week, 2 or 3 days either way.

Awesome, thanks mate. I zoomed in on a couple of spots on the zooms where I thought I saw some amber. But definitely the main thing that's happening last few days is trichs growing mushroom heads like a mofo. I'm always wary of confusing correlation with causation but I swear this has gone crazy since I introduced the SF with lots of UV.

Check this pic of a bud I quite literally ripped in half while pulling leaves. Interesting to see what the calyces look like all lined up, I believe they wrap around the stem in a perfect Fibonacci spiral from what I've read. In each little one there was a soft little seed looking thing. Very small and soft, fleshy. My question is, is this a natural remnant of a calyx that never fulfilled its destiny? Is it a sign that the plant is going Herm? Our worst of all is it a sign that it or another plant has already Hermed and this is now beginning to make seeds. I'll pull it soon if it's the last!!

Definitely mostly clear in those pics. Heads getting nice and fat though. Bloody cat hairs on most of them too. God I love her but even in a separate sealed room I can't not end up with her in my grow!

Getting close! Make sure you are checking good cross sections of the plant to ensure you are getting a fair representation of ripeness.

Well fuckety fuck fuck. Went to do a good inspection on my big girl tonight thinking she's closest to ready. Spotted something on a low bud. Then another. Then another. Then one on one of the big heads



Only seems to be on a few sites but who knows what has been growing under those big buds. I can't see anything like this on the other plants. Should I pull this one asap??

I imagine you've squeezed them to see if they contain seeds?

If they do have seeds in them, is there some reason you think this plant also provided the pollen?

I'm only going on my limited knowledge. They looked different to other calyx so I squeezed them and some moisture and a little green seed came out. When I accidentally ripped a bud in half on a different plant last night there were little tiny things that looked like seeds in the calyces



So I have no idea where the pollen came from. There are only four plants in there and all are flowering so I imagine one has developed nanners or gone Herm?

Open one of them up and verify.

if it has seeds it has seeds, not the end of the world. Most smokers who are old enough remember when the majority of bags had plenty of seeds

Yeah there's definitely seeds in them. Very limited sites from what I can see and only that plant. It's still with finding out the source though right?

Either you got a herm or you are pulling contaminated air into your tent. The first scenario seems to be the more likely

So if it's a Herm will it only be that plant that's affected or will it pollinate others? They only pollinate themselves yeah?

If it's pretty close to ready is it worth pulling before it wastes any more energy on making more seeds or bigger seeds?

If you have a herm and that plant developed seeds it’s likely your other plants have as well. You could have gotten lucky and it’s only what you found. You are late enough where pulling now won’t do much.

No, they could pollenate other plants, too.

I would try and find the male flowers before sacrificing anything, but the one with the seeds is your most likely culprit.

When you say it won't do much, you mean the damage is done? I kinda get that but if it's just going to produce more seeds the longer I leave it instead of delicious flowers would it not be better to just pull it and dry it?

That is a personal call I would imagine. I’m sure others with more experience will chime in.

if I hadn’t been seeing and pulling nanners and feel it was most likely just one or two pollen sacs I would probably choose to move forward. Dealing with some seeds here and there isn’t the end of the world to me. Smoke that isn’t strong enough is a bigger problem for me personally. Your mileage may vary

They're actually not miles off. They're on 8 weeks, predicted 7-9 week flower. Lots of swollen trichomes, quite a lot milky, no amber really yet

This thread shows a plant that's popped a few male flowers. These ones have already opened. Note the "nanners" the ball contains.

Can someone tell me what this is??

Can someone please tell me what this is?

This one shows a hermie when it first starts flowering. These pics may not be the best for your needs, but you can see what a ball looks like.

Help! Cock and balls? Nanners?
