So I had this plant for 3 weeks in veg and 8 weeks for flowering. Everything looked perfect the whole grow. The buds were kinda small, but very good looking nuggets. I have some pics on my profile.
I harvested, and its drying for about 6 days. THE BUDS ARE SO FUCKING FLUFFY!!! i can not believe that.
I had over 40.000 lumens in a 3x2 closet and I grew only 2 plants, both females.
The other thing is that the buds have a lot of seeds. Why? coz I had only 2 plants and both females ...?...

thanks

What was your cue to harvest? Pulling even a week or two early can cost a lot in bud density. Eight weeks is very optimistic for a finish, even tho every seed bank makes that claim for many strains.

You obviously had some male flowers pop amongst your females (this is what is meant by "hermies" or hermaprhodites). Most MJ plants will do this at some point if no males are around. The key thing is when -- if they appear in the last couple weeks of growth, they have no effect.

Dude, I checked every day for males flowers and nothing. I have no idea how that happened. I smoked a lot tho and after that toching them....yeah, i did that...but other than that....

and I have a 100x magnifier and I was checking everyday and the thricomes were amber when I harvested.
?who knows?
the plant had problems at the beginning of her life. I replanted her 4 times because the spem could not suport the actually plant.... oh well....

I still have this "tree" huge sativa plant and I wish I'll have some good harvest. Is it 85 degrees to high ??????

Sound like light leaks in your flower room. It will cause light fluffy buds and can definitly hermy a plant.

Once the plant is pollenated it's gonna put most of it's energy into seed production and quit building bud. The plant figures it has no need for any more fowering at this point, hence, smaller and fluffier bud. That's why growers don't pollenate unless breeding. How yours got pollenated... who knows at this point.

Sorry Dude.

I can see some seeds on the bottom buds from this plant too. Should I cut the bottom buds??? will that help?

did u have the cfls close as possible to the plants? i like to keep mine 2 inches away max(and prefer 1/2 an inch if possible) and my buds are so dense i can barely believe its the same plant (2 weeks its doubled at least in density and weight) the last couple weeks really do make or break your grow. lol

When using cfl's light management is everything. You really do have to babysit them more than if using hps or mh. Ideally you need easier access and the ability to raise your lights as little as 1/4" at a time and enough spacing between plants to drop lights down into the canopy without burning. Do this and you will see decent results.

the lights are close (1 inch). The problem is that I have so many bulbs that burns the plant if I keep theme so close. Now, the top bulbs are 2 inches away and the side ones are about 6-7 inch away. From today I also start adding the Molasses thing to my reservoir. Today also the plant is in her 9th week and I can barely see some crystals on the bud. I think this plant is a pure sativa.
