yeh you all right. but the flowers have to be as big as they can when they are pollenated. it is true that potency will not decrease so much, the weed will be as high as sinsemilla (almost...), but you will have a lot of work to do with buds when selecting the seeds and you may fracture the mass...
hermie is not a dangerous plant, it can produce almost the same quality, but be careful, ,,bananas'' can mellow after you cut it and they spread pollen when apart from plant, too
i dont think any of them can be a clear strain such as sativa... i think all of them hybrid, cuz they show both indica and sativa features. but according to me they girls are mostly indicas they're so bushy lil bit strecht due to flowering. wide leaves are also indica style. A clear sativa...
if u ask me, you are definitely in the middle of the generative period, but pistils doesn't show anything sign to be matured, so maybe it will take more time :weed:
it depend on the strain, my friends sativa took 10week to flower ... i think you will notice and they will show when they are ready... pistils will get some color, trichomes are half milky and clear. but you must know it you did it outdoor
amazing baby buds, man! keep making fat 'em!! pistils are shiny snow white and healthy. i cant say more, fast and stunning progress;-)
