I have good news and bad news.

Good news is, the buds are growing like wildfire now. They really took off over the past 24 hours. Hmmm..I started molasses a few days ago.
The crystals are growing very heavy and I'm just giddy over it.

bad news...3 of the 4 plants that I have are hermies! I've left my plants alone for most of the week since they all got injured but a little while ago I took them out and inspected them and I noticed some powder on a leaf, got suspicious, and found some opened balls. What a disappointment it is. There's no way the hermieness was from the stress of repairing themselves, it can't happen that fast....at least I don't think.
It's a lost cause to save all of the flowers from pollinating at this point, but I removed a bunch and always had some thick duct tape with sticky side up, underneath the place I was cutting (I have these really tiny pair of scissors I got from a pack of buttons and string for clothes repair that are perfect). Those little boogers hold a ton of pollen. Enough were already opened so I know sections got pollinated. You know, I thought some of the early flowers looked like balls but they had pistils growing out of them so I wasn't positive. I'm pretty sure the 3 seeds for these plants that I got in a bag of some weed that resembled northern lights all came from a plant that was hermie. The plant that isn't a hermie came from another bag. I'm trying to keep the non-hermie plant as separate from the others that I can without compromising the light on it so I'll just wait and see what happens.
