I’m about to harvest this Double D. in a few days and I was just looking at some of the very small popcorn nugs at the bottom of the plant and they all have seeds. The rest of the buds are fine though. What does this mean? Also, the plant has no smell and barely any smell on my fingers if I squeeze a bud.20210621_094339.jpg

Yeah, as mentioned above this nug has a nanners on it, so your plant went intersex and pollinated itself...

This is what we're referring too if your curious

Your piece in the centre has a pollen sack on it and also your picture shows quite a lot of seeds . So plant had male sac or sacs on it, I would not be surprised to find more seeds there just not on the outsides.

I grew with five other strains along with this one and they all look fine so I'm not sure why this one plant hermied. This is my fourth grow and I've never seen this happen. It's a waste of time and money. Thanks for the response.

Sounds like it was super stressed. Too hot, too much light, too dry, and whatnot can definitely cause you to lose terps and get some intersex. Even with everything dialed in you’re going to get intersex traits from seed these days. Use seeds to find your keepers and run clones from them or go find some stabilized seed lines. Not sure how many stabilized seed lines you’ll find these days, but they’ll most likely be more expensive and not be newer hype type strains and crosses. Running one or two seeds from a pack and expecting great things is a heck of a gamble in my opinion. Might take more than one pack to find a great representation. Seeds are not clones.

It must've been too much light. I have two ES300's in a four by four full blast since the beginning of flower about 15 inches away from the canopy, so that's probably it. I kept the temp between 70 and 78 with humidity at average 45% throughout the grow. The humidity has been at about 30% for the past 10 days.

Also, with multi-strain runs from seed it can be tough to not get any intersex traits, because some plants want less/more of certain nutrients, more/less light, and so on. But, I do the same thing currently because I like variety and I don’t want to setup a veg/mother room until I move at the end of this year. Has me in there every night going over my plants like a freaking weirdo searching. Ha.

I like variety but I realized this round that what you just said is true. Some strains like less nutrients or more than the others so it's kind of a pain to try to cater to each plant's nute needs. And yes I'm the creeper checking my plants ever twenty minutes when I'm home.

It's possible that plants that showed intersex traits from seed may not show the same intersex traits when run from clone. If you have a plant that was exceptional aside from nanners or a handful of pollen sacks, try running from a clone to see if it happens again. Of course, that assumes you have rooted clones....

Definitely. I’m just trying not to setup another area currently, so I’m just running them. If I had another area setup I’d for sure just run clones off of the seed plant. If anything is crazy good I’ll go for a reveg, but I have plenty more seeds of everything in there this run too.

Anyone that grew DDS, did you get foxtails? I know it can happen regardless of environment in some strains and wondering if DDS is one of them due to the diesel lineage.

We had a recent heat wave and I was having trouble keeping my flower tent cool. With lights on I was hitting 84F, lights off hovering around 80 and the DDS got pretty close to the light. My other plants (indica doms) aren't foxtailing so I'm just curious if its normal growth or stress growth.

I bought a new inline fan and completely changed my ventilation yesterday, managed to get the tent down to 76 with lights off, thinking about rigging something up to pipe my portable AC directly into the tent.
