no worries. share and share alike. why are the doors open 50% of the time? thats losing light!
unless the ventilation is really an issue, i would keep the doors shut as much as i could with mylar all around

i love hangin with my plants ;) sometimes watering can take me up to an hour when it reallly shouldnt...
Well the doors are open but the way it is set up I do not loose any light because i have them behind a 3 fold project board with a white coating. It is also covered with a sheet from the top to minimize light loss and the entrance of light during lights off. But the door is always closed during lights off so i do not think there is any way it could get in there. But yea I am the same way it takes me forever to water especially when they get droopy I love watching them "come back to life" and all the leaves rising.

what are the genetics? looks like it could be a banana - does it have lines running up from bottom to top? what looks like it could "open up" (male preflowers look like this)

if yes (it could be from the looks of it) then pick it off and make sure not to squeeze it, so as not to release any pollen. look for any others and do the same. if in a few days or a week the problem doesnt go away you may want to consider chopping down your plant, it has smokeable flowers already

it is bagseed from some pretty good stuff. I have noticed these in other spots but it is weird they are turning yellow and falling off by themselves
Edit: now have noticed some of them are starting to shoot out some hairs. Really weird! And they are more of a teardrop shape rather than a banana shape

You have nice buds and frost on your plant anyways :D you should be happy.

If you start finding yellow powder around the plants, then you have yourself a herman

Thanks and I am happy. I just hope the buds will get much bigger than they are now they seem really skinny. If they do get pollinated will it affect the quality of the smoke? I know I would have to pick out seeds but would it make the quality and potent of the smoke worse?

It won't effect the quality and won't really hurt the amount if it is.
How long have you been flowering?

if its teardrop shaped then yes you are fine. bananas with lines are what you dont want.
good luck, and keep up the good work
PS you should see from week 6 and up lots of swelling.... give it time

haha guess i am just being to impatient. i got so excited the first 14 days of flowering because of how fast they were growing but now it seems they have slowed way down. guess the ladies are just focusing their energy on bud production now. i noticed a couple of the tips of some (like 5 out of 10000000000 lol) pistils turning colors almost a burn orange color. is this normal for this early in the stage or did i so something wrong?

Is have to agree that's its a indica just do to how fat the leaves are but could possibly have some sativa but no more than 20% in my opinion but its kinda early to tell for sure

Have a quick question. Noticed today that alot of the lower level fan leaves are starting to die. They have plenty of light available to them but they are turning yellow and dying off. Is this normal for 31 days in? Also noticed alot of the pistils especially on the new growth are orange. They have changed alot from yesterday to today. Seems like swelling is really starting to kick in. But the fan leaves at the bottom are dying off.
