Half of my plants have gone bi sexual now. I got around 15 seeds on 4 plants and im noticing more dicks. It is now week 9 of flower and im starting to get milky trichs on some plants. I am wondering, should i harvest now so i dont get tons of seeds. Or should i wait for another week and hope for the best? It might take more than a week for some to finish but those are the non-hermies. Btw i have been flushing for almost 2 weeks already so thats not a problem. Any advice would be greatly appriciated.

up to you dude
If you can stand checking your plants over every day and picking off the dicks before they get a chance to blow their loads then hold out
If not then harvest away
Either way I'd try out some of the bud just to get an idea of what its like
Find a small bud that looks as mature as your big buds
do the microwave quick dry technique, smoke it up and see how it is
if it gets you :stoned: and your happy with the effects then harvest away if it dosent do what your after then hold off and keep on picking off those dicks

This same thing happened to me this last grow! It sucks! and you keep second guessing every decision or at least i did. I harvested a lot of it early and left a little on the plant for making hash since i knew it wasnt going to be the high i wanted and there is nothing worse than having a few oz of some dank bud but every time you smoke it you get a headache from the micro seeds! Dont let this happen to you cuz when they are that small there is just about no way to get them out. oh and another quick note: Dont ever use a new strainer straight from the store to make hash. I just found this out the hard way (luckily it was a test run) But if you dont want microscopic particles of metal or aluminum or whatever the hell most strainers are made off in your hash be sure ya wash it really good before use. I know thats way off subject but i thought i should get that out there... Its a little embarrassing when you stare at a fat ball of hash you cant smoke. Damn i need to get some bubble bags.
