You should be alright jhod. As long as you don't see anymore. A couple pods like that opening up I would guess you'd get maybe like 30-50 seeds in a few of the buds around that area. I had a little flower open up and I think I got like 25 seeds from a bud right there... then maybe 6 more from other random buds in the closet.

Whats up guys & gals?? Need little help. Here's a pic fro my problem. Seem to have 2 male sacks that opened on my GSC. No where else on the plant I checked. Could it be a hermie? Will it be fine? Do I need to pull those sacks? I don't mind a few seeds would be great. Just hoping its fine. Sorry for the orange pic light is on.View attachment 2547106
Snip the Nuts. Can't really see if that is what they are. Just keep your eye on it you will be fine.

yeah those are male sacks from what i can see. u gotta take the plant away from the others and pluck those off. just cuz u have a couple male sacks and u leave them, that doesnt mean you'll get viable seeds. in fact the plant would put more energy into the seed making. i would CERTAINLY pluck those off imo.

thats alot of seeds for one hermie pod! ive never had that many seeds from only one pod bursting. it all depends on when it happens too.

but yeah i wouldnt get rid of the plant at all. but i would chop off the pods. if thats what they are, it looks like it tho. either that or some crazy mutated calyxes

also i was reading in my high times about how GSC is a very touchy strain. i geuss its known to do that with "the slightest little stress".

By the time I got to the last few Berry Whites I had more nuts than Upside-down Barstool night at the gay bar:shock: Still yet to see a s33d though??

Thats what I don't know I was going to pluck those off. I was mutated calyxes its yellow like a male flower sack tho.

I don't know if it's some kind of new thing but it seems like I'm fighting a lot more male flowers than I used to. Might be because I'm growing a lot more plants directly from seed rather than cloning them first. I've heard clones will kinda work out the hermie issue, but not sure how true that is. I have been seeing a pattern for myself though. Not that I'm getting a ton of male flowers, but I do see a few here and there. I really haven't been worrying too much about it, and only find a see here and there. I actually saw a part of a plant that had way more red pistals than the rest of the plant. There was a single male flower sitting right by it. I assume that part is now seeded...? It's just like a 1x1" area on a cola.

With that many plants having an issue, i would search for a light leak, and make sure your timer is operating correctly. Have you changed anything recently that might have caused more stress than normal?

Receding pistils is a sign of pollination.
Yup. That's what caught my eye. I was just saying maybe they are a good signal of male flowers too. If I didn't see a patch of dead pistils I wouldn't have looked for what was going on. Not sure how long a seed needs to form but I'm chopping in a week so hopefully not little tard seeds grow.

I know you were talking to Hornfrog. But you said light leak. and I finally remembered my ac was running with just the fan. Well it has digtal temp lights on it. I think thats why my GSC is doing what its doing with a few male flowers.

If any equipment in the growing area doesn't have a green display I put tape over it, my dehumidifier has a green display ;-)



Edit: I LOVE MY JOB!

Been trying to put together a proper cover crop cocktail for the farm... Its fun :-)

This is the tip of the cover crop iceberg... just a taste ;-)
Prob doesn't interest most of you, but for some reason this gets me going :-)

The TV industry has been searching for a show about mj will little success. I suggest that they use an proven formula. They have Bar Rescue, Hotel Rescue and now Car Lot Rescue where they take a failing business and turn it around. The first step is to change the attitude of the owner and then the cosmetic issues. I suggest that they create a Garden Rescue where a crack crew of club 600 analizes the grow and makes the needed changes.....any volunteers?

:peace:

I did grow consulting for almost 3 1/2 years getting paid for it, and I will NEVER do it again.

99% of the consulting work that I did on "Garden Rescue" was completely the growers fault. People have a hard time admitting that. And getting it wrong the first go is one thing, making More and more and more mistakes became the MO of many clients I had. Then it turned to the blame game... blaming it on me... I sure fucking wish a couple of them could have taken me to court.

There was one dude in Fresno that had me set up his crop, I came out 3 times after that because he didnt follow directions or use common sense, and I MADE sure he got to harvest (the deal was half up front half at harvest, the harvest half being my profit, and any extra visits during grow covered after harvest, yup, contract in writing) anyways.... I even helped him chop em all down and left specific written instructions (step by step like for a dumb ass) He took off for a few days and paid a couple kids to finish harvesting and managing the dry while he went snowboarding for a week. he came back and all his shit was moldy (they didnt turn on the exhaust fans OR AC OR Lights, grow lights). 13 something lb's gone....
He blamed it on me, said it was all my fault and I somehow owe him 30 somethin grand.... uhhh NO. So many Crap shoot situations like that, and we consultants never want to pursue our ends... too afraid of courts and persecution etc. :/ Now I consult for friends, as just a friend... and have no issues :).
Great idea cof, taking our internet consulting out to the real world. Smellslikeskunk, not sure about doing it in Ireland though, lol.

And TLD, this is where you need a Contract Consultant, or even better, A Service Manager, who will specialise in SLA (service level agreements). Then both parties in the contract know who fuks up when and where and why....

I know you were talking to Hornfrog. But you said light leak. and I finally remembered my ac was running with just the fan. Well it has digtal temp lights on it. I think thats why my GSC is doing what its doing with a few male flowers.
I am always a bit surprised at how often light leaks are used as reasons for herms. I would have thought for the plant to chemically change it would need some serious light leakage i.e like when my grow room lights decided to come on for 2 hours everynight in the middle of the dark period. And that just caused the plant to start revegging, not to hermie.

Anyway, doesn't look too bad jhod. Good luck with it.

Morning eveyone, a great day it is today!!!!

I'm not trying to start anything or whatever but have you read anything about the moonlight reflecting on plants? I know the science behind green lights and weed. Green spectrum is reflected because the Chlorophyll doesn't absorb it. I just like to discuss not patronize or anything. I'm asking because I don't know about the bright light coming off the moon. Sometimes the moon is so bright you can see everything walking around.

I had a guy approach me 2 weeks ago about running a commercial grow for him. I said I'd be happy to help him set up and whatnot, but at best I'd only be willing to come out once a week. I told him the grow needs attention of some sort at least every other day and he'd have to be willing to do that part himself. He's an hour away from me and I said I'd charge him $100 per visit if I'm coming out as needed. That's only $33 an hour (3 hour trip total) without gas, which I felt was a pretty amazing deal. He never got back to me and I'm pretty sure I saw all his equipment on Craig's lol. I guess he thought I'd just do it for a $20 spot and maybe a bowl? Hah.

I know someone:) who has arranged with friends to help them out (which means, supplying them with the grow equipment, supplying them with plants, and basically helping them grow it, harvest it, and then move it on). For that he will let them keep 66%...do you think that's fair?

And hornedfrog, I also think about the moon in relation to light leaks in peoples grow. I honestly think the majority of the time it's down to genetics. Has anyone ever read the DJ Short article on cataloguing? In this he talks about how a lot of cannabis has hermaphrodite tendencies, and the numbers involved and ratios (very interesting read). Cannabis is dioecious so I find it highly likely that even after much selection and generations of breeding that the plant will still contain the ability to try and reproduce itself/herm.
Moring ramblings....

my local hydro place will kit a house out fully or part if you choose, take the first months crop as payment for the nutes, equipment and clones and then after that i think 50% of the next and then it's all yours. kinda blokes you wouldn't want to fuck your harvest up somehow!

Sea of S33ds are a good reseller. Nirvana only do wholesale do they not?

If you want good low cost s33ds then you can try a place called Breeders Boutique as well.:)
