What...what the, is this...anyone had this and it went POP female hairs :D?

The plant is budding with all types of hairs in medium/high height. There's not really any sexuality down below where there aren't much light. SO..hmm

Ga Grown!

I can't see anything clear. The first 2 pics appear to show a bean on a stalk, and the 3rd a female bud.

The "bean" in the first 2 pics, is it a hard nugget, kinda triangular in cross-section?

And do you mean this in the 3rd pic?

If you're asking whether or not the plant is hermie because there are no pistils growing below the light then the answer is no. The buds will start at the tops w/ some budding at the nodes going down the stem. Once you get low enough no buds, or very little, will form.

Haha no, I'm sorry for the confusion. The last picture was the top, it's full of hairs and stuff. The camera is very very difficult to focus use. It showed female within the 1st day of flowering, I let it veg for a long ass time (like 6-8 weeks).

I cut the motherfucker in half, here it is. The first one is it whole, then the 2nd it's cut in half. If anything, it was wet inside and I'm pretty sure undeveloped. Kind of looked like maybe there were going to be hairs coming out or some multiple pollen things? I don't know haha. Damn this camera

Yep. That's a pollen pod.

Kk, do you know what a "mature" pollen pod looks like inside? Does it have a different color or is it dry or..

Oh and what kind of chances do you think I'd have preventing the other female from being pollinated? I mean, if I were to chop off the balls everyday, wet them before to kill the polen, think I could keep everything seedless? or if I were to just cut the branches with the pod(s)?

New to this game still, but I would just yank that fucker before anything bad happens.

Yeah I was thinking the same...but that would suck to yank it out and find out later that my other female is pregnant...then I came to another thought.

What do you think would be better, 2 plants with seeds or one without seeds >D. I've never smoked straight from the source, I don't know much difference. Ah man, ah man...choices and time >.<.

Personally I would rather have one nice batch of nice chronic sensi than double that amount, but less potent and with seeds. just my 2ยข, this really is a matter of preference. :jointsmile:

Well shit, I might have seeds already, now I want to put it out, but I'm scared if I do, I'd just find out later that it was too late?


How fast can a seed become and pollinate?
How fast can you notice a seed?
If this pollen is suppose to be dust, but is being green and wet, is that good enough to carry out an infection mission?

Haha damnit, I wish I had more experience. Thank you all for your kind guiding by the way!

!

A seed will be fully developed in approximately 3-4 weeks
You will notice the calyx swelling with the seed inside in about a week after pollination
The pollen is dust and if it gets wet it becomes non-viable, useless. So you can mist your plants frequently for the 2-3 days that it takes to tell for sure that it is a male.
That way you can leave it in the room for just enough time to be sure.

I see, do you think they could get pollinated, if I pick em all out! I mean, I'm saying, I'll check my hermy once or twice a day detailed. They can't just pop up and pollinate in a day or 2 can they?

Sorry for all the noobish questions, one day...one day I will grow the best out there >D.

keep on the nanners and you can pick them out in a small grow... just throw the seeds away if you do find any!!!

Yah I think it is impossible for her to get pollinated =P, the things aren't of any dust material and I was probably being over paranoid. Haha still am, I'm going to never leave my home for more than 24 hours. I'm going to stick with the beautiful first hermy n female. Thank you for everything. I love you!

Seeds don't pollinate anything. The male plant grows little balls instead of buds like the female. These sacks contain pollen, and they will burst if left long enough. The pollen floats to the females, sticks to a pistil and fertilizes the plant. Then seeds grow in the female plant. You can pick out the seeds as she grows, but it won't help lessen the effect (as far as I know anyway).

I'm not entirely sure how a hermaphrodite fertilizes itself, but I imagine it all just happens internally. Is that right?


Haha damnit, I wish I had more experience. Thank you all for your kind guiding by the way!

You are gaining experience. Keep wishing and growing and it'll come true. :) And keep asking questions because other n00bs like me are learning as well.

I faced the same choice. 4 plants w/ seeds, or 2 w/o seeds. I went with 4 w/ seeds, cause I'm already splitting the harvest with a friend and its my first go around w/ bag seed. The way i see it is I liked the weed I got the seeds from enough to save the seeds, so fuck it, seeded weed must not be that bad. But you can always just try and pull all the balls off and hope for the best.

Exactly. That there is signature material, my man.

Kk, do you know what a "mature" pollen pod looks like inside? Does it have a different color or is it dry or..Here are some pics of different hermies. The last one is far gone. The mature pods are yellowish. If you got your bean when it was green, no harm done.

All ya can really do is snip 'em when ya see 'em. You are very fortunate in that it was a discrete bean instead of a banana buried in the bud.
