Well, that’s not too bad & the distance is fine, but you could grow bigger buds with more lighting...
I have 4x 1000 watt cheap burpee LEDs in one of my tents for 4 plants & they rocking.
Shit...gotta go. I’ll be back in 10 minutes with more info

My next grow I'm going with the mars hydro v2 180 led and an actual tent and seeds from a legit source haha not some curtains, tin foil, a closet, a fan and some Chinese lights like I have now haha but gotta start somewhere and the opportunity presented itself so I took it. Thanks bro!

I'm too high right now. There's something here that I'm sure I'm missing.
Your plan for your next grow sounds good.
Good luck.

Your plants & bud size are related to lighting & nutrients, watering and health. I only grow in hydro so I’m no dirt farmer expert. I would add more lights next run & once flowering begins, add more Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K) & lower the amount of Nitrogen (N) in your nutrient solution. I’ll add pics of some nice plants of mine grown in burple lighting

Haha thank you! I'm pretty sure the early veg heat stress and my heavy handed defoliation's throughout, took their toll and stressed the 2 plants more than they could handle from their weak genetics. Have a good one brotha!

Awesome, thank you much! I think I will run these gals to another 2-4 weeks and just play it by ear, week to week. At the end of the day, it's all for me and I dont mind a little seed when the smoke it essentially free and available haha

Could be, but the nicest plant I’ve ever grown was nearly dead from nute-lock. It survived, topped itself in early seedling cycle & became a monster with huge buds...

It’s a lot of fun...and smoking your own home grown high grade ganja is a nice reward!
There are plenty of people here to help.

So, this is my first time growing. I, like many, began smoking years ago and have finally decided to grow my own from home (legally). I literally started with bag seeds and miracle-gro in late July of 2019. As the plants grew, I built the grow closet around them but never adjusting anything too drastically as not to cause undue stress. Running 800w of blurple LED, RH and temps have been appropriate and consistent all the way through. Vegged them for 83 days and noticed a potential hermie in 1 of the 2 plants just before the switch from 18/6 to 12/12. Week 3 of flower confirmed that both plants had, in fact, become hermie. They are not severely hermie as they are now entering week 8 with no visible seeds but definite lack in growth and appearance. Pollen sacs are everywhere on my "white rhino-indica" and almost no where on my "og grape-indica" but some sacs are visible deep inside top kolas. My question is, I am currently on day 57 of flower with still no seeds visible, I began my flush today and I am hoping to harvest in 12 days. My trichomes are 90% clear as of now but I'm hoping they will go 50/50 clear and cloudy by harvest. Should I harvest in 12 days or should I push it longer, newt feed them again after this "flush" and then scope and possibly flush them later, harvesting in 24 days? Thoughts? Thank you all so much!

How did you confirm hermie @ wk 3? Did you find pollen dumped by open pollen sacks?

Your pics look like swollen calyxs as others have stated. I was hard pressed to find anything that looked like a herm. Are you removing the male clusters?

You said "all over" one plant and "almost no where" on the other. Can you take a pic with your camera flash on to get crisp edges on the flowers?

As for your ? regarding when to harvest would be a shame to chop early having gone this far. Especially if unknown if herm or not.

Growing from herm stock is less than ideal but that's where gg4 came from.

To get back on track....I cant tell from your pics if those are just calyx swells or male parts, but will share that almost every single version of White Widow I’ve ever grown has had a hermie in the crop. And I also grew out a big batch of clones off one Jack Herrer mom, and out of 12, 3 went hermie badly...even though mom was a year old and abused, and never had hermied clones before nor shone a male trait. Finally, I grew a Hawaiian Haze that hermied severely by week 9ish of a 15 week flowering, and although it was seedy AF it was one of the strongest plants I ever smoked...not only that but I ended up with hundreds of free seeds, and so far over 25 I’ve grown out have been solid girls, no hermies.

TMI about my hermie experience.....
