Making seeds??

hermie?

lower bud calyx swell, is what I thought...:/

never mind I have confidence this is sensimilla, there are browned pistils coming out of those calyxes, some have just completely withdrawn, but others are new and aging

the first pic is of a cola, they don't seem to be swelling as quickly as the lower fruit, I'm so afraid of messing it up at the last stretch.... it smells just like the northern lights strain I bought commercially... although I know very little about genetics

Yeah those look like seeds, notice how not all the calyxes are swollen like those bottom calyxes......you can tell by squeezing one and if it is hard it more than likely has a seed.

last time I squeezed one it covered my finger in clear liquid and went flat, if they are seeds, do u suggest I chop now before they develope? or let them mature? I just want a balance of quantity/quality

if it is seeded it would be better to let it mature before you harvest.

tyvm, one last question, how soon can I chop to get a decent head and slight body high as I have a trust issue. judging by my poor pics of course, any guesstimating would be appreciated

In my experience, when a plant gets seeded(that 2nd pic does look seeded) it takes a little bit longer to mature. The reason is, the plant goes into procreation mode and would rather focus its energy on producing seeds.

I would give it at least a week or 2

thank u very much, this is my first grow, indoor cfl x 9 x 23w 2700k throughout the entire grow. she has 750 hours natural uvb uva and an array of vitamins and keratin from the sun. too bad I can't wait to murder her. can someone show me pics of swollen vs. seeded calyx so I don't get my hopes up again?

update: chopped her 2 days ago, hang drying. small white immature seeds, however I went with my gut feeling and harvested before resin production was fully focused on seed formation. I'll let u know how it smokes in about 6 weeks.
