Harvest question? Haven't found it. Is this an issue?

I have 5 plants (all different strains). They are just starting week 6 as of yesterday. On two of them the "hairs" are dying. The plants are still healthy and thriving. The trichoms are all still growing and white. I don't know if it matters, but these two happen to be under a different light than the other three.

Do I harvest the ones whose hairs are dying? These bitches also have seeds forming because I must have a hermie in the mix.

Thanks in advance.

White as in clear and same color as when they first started forming.

pictures ...... and maybe i can try to help ya. when they are pushing seeds they need a lot more nutes then just a plant making flowers. so that might be why you are seeing a difference. I was just reading about it today because i have a plant seeding hard and she is showing some signs of neglect

Makes sense. I have been feeding them according to schedule with fox farm. Using big bud, grow big, and tiger bloom.

If they've hermed on you and you still want to keep them I'd be pulling balls off as they pop up.... Ride it out, wait until you see some amber trichs. You're just at 6 weeks, let'em go 8 or 9 weeks, the smoke will be better.

I can't find balls!!! I looked everywhere!!! I'm planning to ride it out. I just read some where if it's been pollinated, the hair will die. Makes sense. The ones with the most beans have the dying hairs.

They're there, sometimes they shoot right out of the buds. But I'd also check at every node, get down in the floor and look up the plant. Scan the buds looking for the color yellow, after they shoot their pollen they turn yellow.

thanks man....

shit... I saw a yellow odd dead-ish looking thing on a bud a few weeks ago... Right off the top buds. Son of a bitch, I bet this was the culprit.
