I have a female raised from bag seed in 7 weeks of flower today. I took my jewelers loup in to look at the trics and i see what looks like seed pods.
I am very attentive looking in at least once a day during lights on and killed suspected males within one week on going 12/12. Are these false seed pods? is it normal or did i make her go Hermie and miss a ball or two? The trics are clear and would love to go another week or two, but if she did Hermie then i will need to sharpen the axe.
Thanks
Most likely just swollen calyxes, but take one off and grab a razor blade and open one up. If you see a seed forming, you have a problem.
A close up pic will help out also.
My advice would be to wait untill the tricomes become at least a little milky. Peak THC time, a little amber tricomes, more CBN & CBCs .Head high vs body high, it's your choice. Besides even if your plant were to "hermie" it probably wouldn't fertilize many of the buds, and if it did you would just have some feminized seed. If you don't want those I'll take em! Good luck.
Williboy - I am curious as to why you think he would have feminized seed? I don't know anything about how to achieve "feminized" seeds and don't know much about seed breeding so I'm real interested to know more about that. Mostly why you think his seeds would be feminized.
Gatekeeper - As for the seed pods, I would definitely go with the recommendation of cutting one off and opening it to see what you find. I've had it happen with plants where I can find a seed or two in the entire harvest of the plant, never found any male parts or anything like that to indicate that it hermed on me, so I'm real curious how that happens since I had no possible males around either. Also I saw lots of things that looked like seed pods but really it was just the late flowers swelling up. I wouldnt be too concerned.
This is pretty good! Check it out..
