So I switched over to 12/12 on 3/4/19. My question is do I start count the day I switched or the day buds start to form, if it's the day of bud formation then my calculations are off by 2-3 weeks, I've attached a few pics to see if I'm on the right track time wise. So thre are 5 unknown strains, I kno I is different from the rest due to coloring of leaves and the way the bud looks.

It starts when you switch but usually takes 2 weeks on average to show flowers starting. Doesnt matter though. Each seed, grow and grower can be different so you still have to wait until they are ripe.

And you got some nanners on those flowers. Pick them off. They can contain viable pollen and seed your buds.

As a general estimate i think you have 2-3 weeks left.

Nanners are usually caused by stress. Heat, light, nutrient, etc. evaluate what you may have done wrong and fix it and the nanners may not return.

Hope this helped.

If you tab down a few spaces when responding with the quote it will keep your messagebout of the quote box.


And i never thought about pollinating with nanners. The late ones may not have viable pollen and when i see them (i grow thai and diesel crosses and see some) I want to remove them to keep the plant seedless.


But i guess with careful handling its possible.

The right way is to use STS and reverse the plant early. Then you can self seed her or collect pollen from the balls that will grow.

Thanks for the info, I picked all the ones I could find, with it thys late in flower it's no time to make seeds correct, so I should be fairly seedless for say, with just 2 weeks or so before harvest, its takes about 4wks to make seeds to maturity correct

They can also be genetic..I find that about week 5-6 naners will form on many plants grown from a feminized seed.....They should contain 100% female pollen too! Notice I said SHOULD! LOL

Your numbers are off because the plant is a chick with a dick. that explains the fast maturity rate.
now its crunch time.

its about 6 weeks premature.

those seeds look great!!

I find its my fault every time. Nutrient stress is the biggest cause in my opinion.

Get better seeds is all I can say to that. I grow feminized diesel/thai hybrids. Probably most sensitve of all and only see very late nanners as i like to go 2 weeks longer than the breeder. If i see them at week 5 i can always clear them up by fixing my mistakes.

I think its a pollen chucker thing. Crossing without further breeding.

The worst I got was from a BC Early BB (pricy too)..The smoke was super but she was a stubborn plant and threw up with everything I tried.
Mine were empty and came in a few clumps..Clumps are usually more dangerous than singles. I have seen it no matter what I buy, from time to time.

I can say for sure that they wasnt their 2wks ago, but these seeds were just bag seeds, I usually prefer clones but wanted to give seeds a try, I got the second group coming when these ladies are chopped. I believe I now the issue that may have caused this problem, a few weeks back my timer would decide on it's own when it would cut on and off, I cant say as to how long that was going on till i caught it, but since i have replaced it, it has not happened since.

I would collect them in a jar with a lid, should more appear..one never knows what happens. Remember how GG#4 came about..
You may fine a very small amount of pollen has been produced.

PS: I was also wondering about that seed and maturity comment in this thread.

the beans you planted were not 100% females.
Your pictures shows plants with both sexes; and so it fucks itself the second its able to produce "sperm".
Hermie beans will always (visually) appear to mature faster than say a 100% female.

and you mentioned bagseed....bagseed is mostly domestic / local grows that were somehow fucked up.
instead of taking 100% loss, its bagged up and sold.

i would never start any production with bagseed

I think you removed too many leaves and also too many bud sites. Your yield won't be that great.

Also it depends on the age of the plant how fast it will start showing buds. If it is small it would take about 14 days but if it was used as a mother and is old it can start budding in just 4-5 days. But yes, flowering days are counted from day one of 12/12.
