Great info, which brings up a few ?s in my mind. This is my first indoor grow.
So, I have a female dubbed Thelma that did just that, started kicking out balls about the 5th-6th week of flower (my bad for not keeping track better), and only on the bottom 1/4 of the plant, on the smaller secondary branches. Around 10-15 in all, spread over 8-10 locations centered around the bottom. I can see where 2 of them were well hidden and I was too late- they already dusted, but they were so low (literally 2nd from the bottom) so I figured oh well we will see what we get - and there are just a few bud sites nearby that are now swelling with seeds.
I was going to hatch a couple of the seeds just to see what I get, b/c I have no idea what strain I have, but I did top the plant and it seems to have NOT liked being topped - the two tops now are not very big - split off three ways each on their own - but collectively if it was all one top it could have been a huge one. I was hoping I could find out with these upcoming seeds. She did auto flower in 18/6 - and the stretch in flower caused some of her lower branches to fall over from the weight - I can just see it stretched too much - I am hoping to take a new one and keep it trimmed back to prevent this from happening again.
My questions are - will this seed production be truly feminised seeds (not hermie?) and if she auto flowered (after 4 1/2 months) they will too right? SO many people said get rid of her and I said you are crazy, this plant is cranking out some beautiful frosty flowers thick with the "sugar leaf" effect.
I can take and post pics, but I am wondering if anyone knows - How can I track down what it is, if I have no clue? My clues so far are that it is a sativa dominant hybrid - I figured this just due to the fact that it looks like a sativa mix - but some of the bud leaf growth looks exactly like ruderalis drawings I have seen (I know it is used for making hybrids). ALSO - it has this, zesty, lemony - definitely citrus and fruity smell, with a slight hint of mint when I pinch the buds and smell the resin on my fingers.
Any ideas as to how I can figure out what it is? Its getting very close to harvest and I would like to have an idea!
oh - random ? - my other girl, Louise - possibly afghani bullrider - def Indica (bag seed, only afghani breeds at the time)- I noticed the pistils on the indica are like, HUGE, compared to the sativa they are 2-3x the size. Is that a normal thing to see or is it strain specific? (is it cause it is indica or cause it is afghani?) just very curious about how these things work.
Thanks for reading guys, I am just wanting to learn as much as possible.
