First time grower. What you guys think?

Hey Roland, looking good man! Your plant will go through 2 growth spurts, the initial flowering and a little over half way through it will go through another in that last ditch effort to get seeded. You should see new growth (white pistils) popping out as things begin to swell nearing the end. You are going to want to pull it day 49-50 but wait till at least 56 before you really consider it. Those extra days between 56 and 70 make all the difference between good smoke and great smoke.

Can i get some opinions on this plant I'm a new grower these photos suck but please just tell me what you think male or female I've never seen anything like this thanks

It looks like magnesium deficiency I was having on one of my plants.

I agree, maybe to much calcium or not enough magnesium. Try adding some mag sulfate?

Looking good though brother

So as you guys know one of my plants went hermi on me and I got rid of it I've been checking my plants everyday going over them to take off lol balls and i just came across this. Pic below I guess the question is do I keep going with my grow my buds still getting fatter. But not sure what this means for me.

Farmer P · Dec 27, 2019

I've had that a few times and just picked them off and been ok. I've found a seed here and there a couple times. There is a risk though, my friend got a bad hermie that seeded all the tents in his room. I think he had a lot more sacks than just a few. It was in the back of his 4x4 in a scrogg and he couldn't get to them to pick them off. As long as you can inspect the whole plant regularly and pick them off go for it. What have you got to lose at this point. If you start over you lose everything. Worst case, make some hash.

Yeah I see what you mean. And of course this is my first grow. So i was still confused on the whole if a plant that's in flower get pollinated does it stop going the flower and only grow seed or still grow flower and seed together at the same time. And yeah all my plants have sacks like that on the I pic off as many as i can see. Sorry if this was a stupid question just trying to learn

The pollen from that one nanner could do nothing, could seed up the bud or buds below it, could blow and pollenate one or more flowers on another plant or there could be more you didnt see amd the whole room could seed up.

No one knows how much or how viable the pollen will be.

I would guess that the pollen released stays viable about an hour at most. If you see a ball it has to open to reveal the stamen (nanners) inside before pollen is released. A nanner can release pollen immediately. They dont open like i see people online like to say.

Point is. If you see a nanner potential damage is likely already done. Just pick it off. But if they keep appearing you have to make a decision.

They also tend to indicate something is wrong with their environment or nutrients. Females mostly reverse from stress.

Hope this helps clear up some stuff. :-)

It did very much I played down in my dog's kennel and looked up and saw more then I was able to before many are already open some I took off some i did not trust to touch cause they looked very questionable. I see them on all the plants some new grow sites had many I I I carefully cut them off.

Rolandomota · Dec 27, 2019

So I guess here is my next question. If they already got pollen they will start to use energy to grow seeds. I know the number of seeds is unknown. And I will not grow in that tent again. Imma buy a new one. At this point being 2 days away from being done with week 5. Should I start the flush and get ready to harvest. Or give it another 2 weeks of flower and keep a eye on it. This is all for my wife anyways. And has been a great experience and I am most definitely not done. I guess after my long story should I just keep trucking or get ready to harvest. And if I harvest will the buds be any good?

These plants seem to be true hermies. I have never seen all the plants hermie so much.

Rolandomota · Dec 27, 2019

Again I do apologies for my ignorance in this matter. I know see I was not ready to grow but think over all I have over come some good issues and learned alot from all of you guys.

Yeah guess the fact that all the seed came from a 20 bag of bud was not the best idea to try and grow.

Seeded buds still have their trichomes. And the tent is fine. Water disables pollen. Just clean it. And it isnt viable after it hits the open air for long anyway.

Point is you can clean the seeds out and smoke the bud just like mexican brick weed.

These were started from bag seed if I remember right. Kinda making sense why.

I grew up smoking mexican brick weed (smashed into bricks to be easier to smuggle across the border). The buds can have seeds and still be big and potent. You lose some potency probably but they can still be ok.

Ok fuck it imma keep going with the remaining flowering stages before I harvest then. I have a feeling 5 weeks is not enough time to have good weed. I do thank everyone for your time to respond to my never ending questions. I will have a good grow one day that I can be proud of you guys wait and see. I know now buy good seeds. And I believe I have everything else needed lights tent fan and filter to hit the ground running for my next grow.

Rolandomota · Dec 27, 2019

So far now I'll have to stick to smoking this stuff.
