I am curious what some pros think about these pictures. i have a few questions.

-Do you think they are done?
-If no then how much longer whould you guess?
-Does the growth on some of the flowers looked burned? (yellowish part)


These pictures were from a 400hps w an air cooled hood so the light was really dam close. about 5 inches. I also would love to know what anyone thinks about these
thanks for your thoghts

almost done man almost, when the hairs start to suck back up into the calyxes and swell up, your done. The glands should be milky white to amber.
The yellowing is good, the plant is clearing out it's nitrogen, which makes for a clean smooth burn. I'd say a week and you'll be good to cut.
You've done a good job. What strain?

it was just a little old bagseed that came from some decenet flowers. BUT i have issues becaus of that. it is a hermie. There was no stress on it and it was the nly one from the start so there was no outside effects which pushed it to hermieville. its sucks! this is a first so i should have expected some error but there is nothing more sad then watching somthing change before your eyes. I actually had another question. since it has produced some very small premature seeds on certain spots, should it be cut so that the seed production does not continue and ruin what is still good at this point. Honestly i wish it would hurry up and be finished so i can move on, if you know what i mean. But i dont wanna rush anything. Thanks again for anyones input and i will get pic of the hermie action really soon. fter you see you will believe i promise.

The reason you had bageed in the first place is that the plant self-pollinated during the time when the herb you smoked was grown, now the genetics are repeating the same trait.
Since it i so late in the flowering process, I wouldn't worry all that much if the seeds are still imature, you're not going to see more growth at this point anyway. just maturation. waiting a few more days isn't going to kill it.

Looking good...wait till they look a bit more frosted... I'm looking forward to next year to use real beans and not the bagseed surprise that I've been using...

yea me too. Using bagseed is def not the way to go. using "middies" seeds just ends up being a bad situation mdue to the seed factor. Cannaboss is exactly right about the bud having seeds which then makes seeded buds. I will never again use them. And to be honest i wish i had known about this situation before i started and put in hour apon hour of care and effort for it to not be as nice as it could have been with better genetics. Thank you guys very much fro you help and please keep the comments coming. Im gonna get new pics of the hermie activity tonight.

This is your plants last last ditch effort to reproduce.Sometimes stress due to environment will cause selfing. Jut don't use those seeds on the next run.

So you're saying that all mid grade weed with seeds will produce seeds if grown? I would have to disagree.

it looks nice,it should be nice smoke,it doesnt look like its very seedy,grow the seeds that u got for the next grow,it will be female seeds bc,like cannaboss said,it is a last ditch effort on the plants behalf to pass its genetics on to the next generation,but someone said that ur plant came from a hermed mother before it,gotta say ur wrong on this bc alot of mids come from mexico or where ever and its not that there genetics are usually shit,its that the comercial grower doesnt remove the males from the feilds and let them continue to grow and pollinate the girls,so hchron dont stress out over your girl,its not a genetic freak,its more or less a queen of its own,and has gave you some nice bud with some female seeds.keep the seeds and grow them for next grow and u will have girls in wich you can then set yourself up with clones.

read this info i found,its a paragraph on a big book


18.3 Producing Female Seeds
If it were possible to know which seeds are female and which are male, marijuana growing would be even simpler than it is. There is not practical way to discern the gender of a seed - but there is a simpler procedure for producing seeds that will all grow into female plants.
To produce female seeds, the plants are fertilised with pollen with male flowers that appear on a basically female plant. Such flowers appear on intersexes, reversed females, and hermaphrodites (see section 17). Female plants have an XX complement of sex chromosomes; therefore, the pollen from the male flowers that form on female plants can only carry an X chromosome. All seeds produced from flowers fertilised with this "female" pollen will thus have an XX pair of sex chromosomes, which is the female genotype.
Although the male Cannabis plant can produce female flowers, it cannot produce seed; so there is no chance of mistakenly producing seed on a male plant. It is possible to use pollen from an intersexual plant that is basically male (XY); the resulting crop of seeds will have the normal 1:1 ratio of males to females. For this reason, choose a plant that is distinctly female as a pollen source. A female plant with a few random male-flower clusters, or a female plant that has reversed sex are both good pollen sources. The seed bearer can be any female, female intersex, or reversed-female plant.
In most crops, careful inspection of all the females usually reveals a few male flowers. And often, when females are left flowering for an extended period of time, some male flowers will develop. If no male flowers form, you can help to induce male flowers on female plants by severe pruning. One such procedure is to take the bulk of the harvest, but to leave behind some green leaves to maintain growth (as described in the section on "Double Harvests" in section 20). Most of the plants will continue to form female flowers, but male flowers are also likely to form. At times, the plants may not grow particularly well, and may in fact form distorted and twisted leaves, but they will produce viable seeds as long as some stigmas were white when pollinated. (Remember, it only takes a few fertile buds to produce hundreds of seeds.) Pollinate the female flowers by hand as soon as pollen becomes available.
{Figure 82. A solitary male flower on a female plant provides "female"pollen. (Also see Figure 84 for a female reversing sex.)}{Figure 83. Growth may not be vigorous, but seeds will form if stigmas arewhite when pollinated.}Under artificial lights, turn the light cycle down to eight hours after cutting the plants back. The short cycle helps to induce male flowers on female plants.
Male-free seed can also be produced by pollen from a natural hermaphrodites. The progeny, however, may inherit the hermaphroditic trait, resulting in a crop with some hermaphrodites as well as females. This could be a problem if you want to grow sinsemilla the next crop.

Thank you Mack. I appriciate the info. yea i didnt mean to say that the middies that it came from was also herm. i just ment that it had seeds in it due to the low quality. But you are def right. I dont know to much about the whole feminized but the info you attached def sounds right. I would love to learn some mor about it and find out if i could do that. Cause if that is the case then they will need to be marture and be full formed to be used. thanks again for your help.
