I would think big changes in water habits could be something that could trigger it. I wouldn't rule that out, also look for light leaks in your growing area, light during dark time is a big culprit. Even a power strip red light, any type of light during dark times.
There is a street light on the corner of my lot and the neighbors across the street have Christmas lights. The street light is behind a couple of trees so I didn't think that would have much of an effect, but who knows?
Really there isn't anything wrong with seedy weed, unless you wanna show it off to friends or if it's super seedy. Back in the day when seed in weed was normal I got this bud like a gram size, it had 80 seeds in it. There was really not much weed. If it's like that then it sucks but most the time it will just be a couple here and there. You can pull it out of the tent harvest now and get it away from the other plants I wouldn't want to infect the whole room.
I think that is the culprit. I would get some black out curtains or cover the way the light is getting in.
You think it's ok to harvest now? weed420420420420420 said that seedy weed is better than immature weed. I do have some cloudy tricomes, but not much amber yet
I haven't seen any pollen.
I just moved it to my living room next to a window. It won't be under the lights while it finishes but I think it only needs another week or 2 to finish so maybe that will work. At least it's isolated from the rest of the plants.
That shit happens to the best of us. I haven't read down the thread. But I'm assuming it's feminized seeds. In the last 20 years of growing I never saw a hermie ever. Until everyone is making and selling feminized seeds. Some genetics are not meant to be feminized. So when you stress them at all they have a much higher % chance of turning hermie. Buds looks nice doesn't look like you caused the issue. Unless you been giving it the wrong PH or have a light leak. But that looks more like genetics. Many female plants will produce a few male pollen sacks at the end of flower. Especially of you let it go a week or 2 past prime. Plant is simply trying not to die off. If you have more hermie issues go back to regular seeds or save up and spend a few packs worth on a elite selected clone. Either way not ur doing I'd say but I also am just going off 1 picture.
stalks are purple not the heads. Heads are what you pay attention too. The stalks are just their to hold the thrichome gland heads. When the plant matures the heads should be fat and round with some milky and amber and clear. When you chop it will depend on what type of medical benefits you are looking for. Google has so much info but it's nice to help out people who need it. But just reading alot on Google or getting a few books on growing and a Farmers Almanac will make your life soooo much easier.
Thank you! They have looked real happy during the whole run. You are correct in that they are all feminized seeds. Disappointing since this is my first grow and I was hoping for a good harvest. Maybe I will get lucky. I picked off all of the nanners a couple weeks ago and haven't seen any since. Now I'm just getting antsy for harvest so I can dry them and find out. Currently day 58 and haven't seen much cloudiness in the trichomes, although I do see random amber ones every now and then amongst a sea of clear.
I have been reading every free moment I get. I think I have a good understanding of what to look for. Since it is my first grow, experience is not on my side and I was just looking for some extra eyes on it. This is an indica so I'd like to see a good amount of amber, but at this point I just need a little patience as Axl Rose would say.
Agreed.....to a point......I really don’t get the American way of thinking that oh it hermie so now I have heaps of fem seeds that’s why we are getting hermies 25 yrs ago ya only got em if ya over ripened a plant I had t seen 1 till four or five yrs ago come up mid flower shitty breeding practices I reckon narners at any stage isn’t great not everyone finishes a run at the same time some put plants in their flower room every 2 weeks so what does a late herm do to the early flowerers seeds em sorry for rant but we need to get rid of this thinking that oh it’s only a few narners look on the bright side free fems not the attitude I don’t reckon get rid of anything that herms in your garden n burn it to the ground hermis suck
