I'm on day 41 of flowering 2 x 2ft tall bag seed girlz. I don't have a loupe to look at the Trichs up close so I look at them on my 52" LCD. The Trichs always look different under different lights. I'm looking for a couch lock high. I've lost most of my fan leaves and they continue to drop. Can someone more experienced please direct me?

don't look ready to me, BTW I see a LOT of seeds in one of your plants, you've got a hermie in their somewhere.

There have been no sacs and I just popped one of those "seeds" off and it was full of clear juice, no seed..... Now I'm lost

they'll fill up eventually, probably just formed.
just takes one hermie flower to do a lot of pollination.

Keep going.

Noticing a lot of signs of major Potassium deficiencies, as well.

If they Herm out they are junk aren't they? It would have been easier to buy a bag of skank weed. I'm ready to kill them.

I just cut bud off both plants. inspected it, found dried hidden pollen sacs under the node. Fully developed seeds in center. Bud is not bud, all seed. Is there any use to letting them live? I don't know how this happened. I thought I did everything right. I'm devastated, today is a sad day.......

Keep on growing you will still have good herb, and soon you will have some seeds to pop :hump:

maybe if you're only intent was to sell, otherwise it's fine.
world class breeder D J Short likes his weed with some seeds in it
was that a "bagseed" grow ? they're prone to hermie.

Yea it was bag seed..... I was just reading the seeds produced will be 100% female? Is this accurate? Do I need to sterilize the entire place seeing how there is central ac? I'm not a salesman, I have degenerative disk and arthritis man.

yes they'll all be female and be hermie prone too, No way to sterilize a whole house, pollen has a short lifespan though so by the time regrow it'll be dead

Sorry to hear about this, a lot of us have been there. Learn a lesson and move on to the next one, I personally would not waste another day with those. edit-I only looked at a couple of the pics, if you have some without seeds get the seeded ones out and you may be able to salvage something

DON'T KILL THEM!!!
They may end up being mostly seed and not very good but....
I've played around with a lot of feminized seeds and wound up with a lot of hermies. Some plants or parts of plants will often be more affected than others. I've often found more seeds in the lower buds and less seeds in the upper buds (thank god). Some of the best pot I ever smoked has come from these same plants so don't loose heart just yet.
I would continue to grow for another week or two by the way - they don't look quite ready to me.

Upon closer inspection, everything is infested with seeds...... To the bin with em. I'll have to start with some proper seeds. Lesson learned, bagseed blows. 71 days down the pipe. Oh well. It was just a shitty CFL cardboard box test run. I have a grow tent, a 600W cooltube and everything cept seeds for the next one. Any suggestions on a hard hitting Indica strain?

I'd sleep on that decision buddy. You could make hash or canna butter still.

Good call, I've never done it. Gotta good recipe for both?

If one plant goes hermie does it turn the other ones hermie too or just pollinate? I'm checking for dried ball sacs on the other ones. I want to know what happened. How easy is it to cause the plants to turn from stress?
