Nice grow man. Those were pollen sacs in that pic you showed a while back. Make sure to check your plants very frequently for more of those. They will f*ck the whole grow. Remove them very carefully so as not to break them open. Are you sure you have 100% no light leaks? I'm in week 8 of flower on a 5 strain Green House feminized grow and not a single pollen sac to be found. This is my first feminized seed grow but I've grown more than a few plants from regular seed. Even those will sometimes sprout pollen sacs late in flower sometimes if you let them go long enough. That's how I know that those sacs WILL seed your plants. It is a survival instinct on behalf of the plant. In the presence of no male pollen the females will attempt to perpetuate their genetics by going hermie. This trait is further encouraged by environmental stresses such as interruptions of light cycle. In your case I would not chop a plant prematurely because you see sacs. I would remove them carefully. In the case of a larger grow I would kill the plant to save the rest but you might as well ride it out with the two. The last pics look like they still have a bit of growing to do so just be vigilant for those little banana looking sacs.

Cool. Try to let them go as long as you can. These Green House strains are looking to be very potent dank when completely flowered out. I still have another week before any of mine are ready for harvest though. Not sure if my strains (Great White Shark, White Rhino, Cheese, Trainwreck, Lemon Skunk) share any of the same lineage as your strains but all of mine take at least 9 weeks to fully mature in flower.

What color are the trichomes? Harvest when the trichome color will give you the high, stone or combination of both YOU most prefer.


Trichomes

Trichomes are small appendages that look like hairs. They are produced by marijuana, and other plants. Female marijuana plants produce certain trichomes that are a rich source of THC. These trichomes can be found in their largest concentration on the buds. They start out clear, turn a milky color, then turn amber (light brown).

The trichomes in picture 1 are clear. After the plant has flowered for a few weeks, the trichomes start to turn a milky color (picture 2). After a few more weeks, they will be totally milky in color. In the later stages of flowering, trichomes will turn to a light brown color (picture 3). The amount of time required to get to this point depends on the marijuana strain and the growing conditions.

In picture 2 you can see the stems have started to turn from a clear color to a milky translucent color. For maximum THC content and a more cerebral and energetic high, harvest your plants when a majority of the trichomes on the plants in your garden are a fully milky translucent color.

You can wait until most of the trichomes have started to turn amber, but the resulting marijuana will produce more of a sleepy body stone than it would if plants were harvested earlier. The trichome in picture 3 is about 90% amber, with just a trace of the milky translucent color it previously possessed.

After the trichome is fully amber in color, the THC starts to degrade. This makes it very important to harvest marijuana at the time before a majority of the trichomes have attained a total amber color. If not, the marijuana will not be as potent as it could have been.

dry it as you would, in small pieces hung for say 7 days, from what i read, you want it to be dry enough, but not dry enough that the stalk snaps too easily, then shove it in some sealed glass jars or something, and burmp them a couple of times a day for 10 minutes or so, for say a month. there will be MUCH more accurate and in-depth info on curing elsewhere on the site and in the FAQ, and i am waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too hungover to be a helpful samaritan today :)
