My babies look very sick :(

So I'm in like, month 1.5 (close to 2) of flowering and pretty much any and all growth has stopped. My plants are on a 12/12 light cycle. They were lookin' pretty good at first, but now they've really just stopped making any progress whatsoever. They don't look like they're anywhere close to ready to be harvested but one plant has broken out in seeds (dunno how, got rid of the males a while back, some pollen must have just been on a fomite or something). If someone could help me out and tell me what to do it would be very appreciated, this is my first grow and I really don't know what to do! I also don't know if I should just cut and run with what I have and start over.

Short Version: I'm all like and I wanna be please look at the pics and help me out!

Growth does stop eventually for the plant...it is normal.

Is that what you were worried about?

Well they don't look like they're doing so good, and they don't exactly look ready to harvest to me (I don't think at least) so it's got me a bit concerned

um mayb u have a light leak, or mayb they are about to do their final go and be done .. idk .. what strain is it

Correct me if I'm wrong guys, but once pollinated, I believe the plant pretty much stops bud production to work on seed production.

Just random seeds collected over time. What do you mean their final go and be done? Like I should just wait it out?

Well other than the hermies the plants look alright. There are a lot of things that could be going on with your plants. And what do you mean they are not growing anymore? are you talking about the plant or the bud? It is pretty normal for the plant to stop growing upward and start to fill out and unfortuatly with my understanding the plant will be putting a lot of time in seed production instead of resin and thc production since its already gotten its pollen there is no reason for it to keep producing more resin. Are you using nutrients? The cfl grow looks good though keep up the good work. For your next grow i would try to get clones from a buddy or try to get the males out earlier. I like to take clones of the seeded plants and once they get roots i switch the cloner to a 12/12 to force budding so you can tell by the clones and not the whole plant. Other than that just make sure they are not too stressed i had a few get stressed a few months ago with the heat and i have a few hermies too. So ya good luck with you next grow i would keep what you have until the seeds are done that way you can just use those seeds just make sure you are 100% sure that its a female if you think it looks funny kill it.

Yeah plants stopping developing after pollination is not true, maybe if the WHOLE plant is pollinated. I have a girl who was partially knocked up right now, she is actually one of the highest bud producing plants in my flowering room right now. Go figure!

I would say that the last two weeks of flowering are where I pack on a lot of the extra weight but not so much height.

If you are in soil you might want to start leaching but still use some sort of carb type product. The carbs will cause fungi and bacteria to freak out and help your plant be nute stable.

If you start to starve them there is a good chance they will start using up their starch reserves in the roots which will again help you pack on extra weight.

well ya i would wait a week to see what happens .. but like the guy below me siad ..if it did get pollinnated it WILL stop bud production and shift alll its energy to seed production .. soo

your plant is a hermie and those flowers will pollinate the rest of your buds...that is why they have stopped "growing"...making seeds now... :^(

do you have any light leaks? i'm guessing thats what caused em to hermie and slowed down the flowering process somewhat(along with it putting its energy into seeds when it did hermie). ive always heard a pollinated plant takes less time to finish flowering but i could be wrong. are you sure both plants dont have seeds forming? it's kinda unlikely if one hermied pretty bad that the other plant wasnt pollinated by it some.

these are male flowers...are they still there..?

I took out the questionable plant because it was freakin' me out I'm gonna let 'em mellow out for a week and I'll update you guys. Thanks for all the input, hopefully things will get better haha.

So this has got me very concerned. I got rid of the hermie plant and my big guy's looking like this now. I'm worried he's gotten pollenated, and I'm wondering if I should cut him down now What do you guys think?

let it be, and its a her, not a him. lol
