miniature Seed pod problem

[msgrappling]

I am in the Bay Area and for some reason my outdoor plants that I pollinated show seeds but the seeds are growing at a super slow rate or maybe they've stopped growing completely. I don't know but rain is coming soon and mold will be here so I have to find out what the problem is so I can harvest the seeds. Am I over or under watering them? Is the strain not compatible with the climate? Do I just need to wait? Is there a way to speed seed production?
Thank you for any help at all. God Bless.

could be one of many factors: are the plants being fertilized properly? if you are growing them for seed make sure that they are receiving all nutrients + micronutrients. Check what the leaves look like and post back (are they droopy, yellow, spotted, brown, straight out, etc.) plants tell us everything with their leaves. another possibility would be stress, or maybe the light cycle is being interfered with. also seeds do take time to mature so it may just be taking its time. If you are very concerned with mold perhaps you could rig up a tarp system if that is not a security concern? anyways i hope this was of some help

sorry forgot to ask: how often and how much are you watering? and which strain are you growing? you shouldnt have problems with strains being incompatible with environment unless your trying to grow a very sativa dominant strain

The strains are all sativa dominant and there has been some interference with the light. There's only one place in the yard that gets most of the light and still it seems it's not enough light. I've been thinking light was probably the problem since I planted them. I'll bet that's it. The leaves look fine with just a little yellowing. I've been giving them Tiger Bloom + seaweed since they went to bloom. I think we hit the nail on the head with the light issue. Thank you.
