Girl Scout Cookie 11 plant under 1k hps(4 week veg -9 week flour)...

That's a nanner in your last pic, near middle/bottom in that one calyx you can see a nanner protruding I would cut that nanner off at the very least.

Yes i believe these plants are monoecious hermaphrodites where they produce both female n male organs in various bud sites (bysexual genders) next time im going to plant from seed, kind of bummed at my delivery guy.. but these traits can appear from alot of reasons.... im going to keep a eye on em everyday n prune what i need to to get this shit as optimal as i can... thanks for the feedback dead on
I think its a good sign that my budds continue to grow everyday as this shows prodomitaltley female traits.

Ya one plant out of 11 I sent bad but I started seeing more n more of those egg saks I'm not sure if they where nanners or male pollinating sackes I saw them on 8 plants last night as I searched them fore a a hour and some had more than others, I had 3 sensimilla plants and was abt to toss the other 8 last night..... But I decided to keep em... I know I can pull the banners very carefully before they open to prevent pollination but shit I was bummmed, I wonder if stressed them to much or if gsc are easily susceptible to herming.
Thanks brotha for the feedback muchley appreciated.

Like you said pull them off if you seem male flowers, but I get swollen caliyxs on my female plants all the time, I'll take a couple pics in the next day or so so you can compare. That in of it's self doesn't mean they are hermy plants, so don't get to overzealous. Just watch them, do they have any pistils coming out at all(on the possible male flowers) ? I could not tell from the pic that if they were male flowers or not. Good luck, hopefully they are just swollen calliyxes, if so you should be straight. But the rogue hermy in a room is our worst nightmare as a grower. I had one on my first grow. But luckily was able to minimize pollination. Only got about 30 seeds out of a pound after harvest. So not so bad. Just keep an eye out for browning pistils. Like I mentioned before pollination is not the only reason pistils die/recede. Some times just rubbing up against a flower trying to reach a plant in the back of your room can cause some pistils to brown. But if you see browning keep a close eye out for male flowers, and they can be hard to find. IME they seem to grow out the bottom of the buds. Laying on the ground and looking up at your ladies from the bottom helped me find them.
I wish you the best, I've got a few pistils browning on me too. I hope I don't have a rogue male flower or two. With 33 total plants it can take some time and patience to locate the offender. Good luck man, and make sure it's male flowers before making drastic plant killing/removing decisions.
Peace,

Hmm. I see what you mean as those polon sacks only appear on newer growth my be this indicates it just started to hermie witch maybe I sent the worst as I'm half way into flowering... Here are some pics of some cutting a hour ago I took from them, thanks for shedding some light on this issue as I was tremedisoly concerned

I wouldn't remove it unless u r sure it's a hermie.

 

[spokehead88]

Do these pictures indicate hermaphedite?
Could i just remove nanners as flowering progresses or would you just toss the ones that are hermi
I wonder if i could still harvest decent buds from your experience?

I did not see any brown pistils as of tonight fingers crossed, i do see some amber ones tho as im pretty sure its a Normal sign of maturity its only a couple hairs scaterd miscalaneuis tho...
And i doubt there are any males as they show both female n male genders, either female one side and male on the other consiently on new growth none on any major bud sites witch is good im hoping. ..
33 plants that must be nice... curious to see what light set u got going as im looking to expand myshelf, you must be busy brotha and thanks for the feedback its been nothing but helpfull.

29 days in flour there looking marvelous
Inspected all my plants and am continuing to prune pollon sack (nanners) sites, Im confident I got them all so far, will continue to prune male sites as necessary, or pluck as nanner sites are only on the bottom half and find no nanners on main colas or bud sites witch is good I hope, still seeing some gnats tho but have a good regimen to battle these fuck heads.. Again I hope this process can help future newbies and is a good reference for me in the future.

Starting to add some bulk now. looking good

 

[spokehead88]

32 days in flour I just love there progress

 

[spokehead88]

34 days in flour and I can't stop looking at them ():
They grow very fast and tricombes are visibly noticiblle, finding less n less nanners as they progress and usually on newer growth sites I see none on any major bud sites so this us a good sign I hope.
There doing great I would say could of been better with more floor space but I'm making it work.

they look great! You should have a nice harvest in the next few weeks.

A few weeks really? that would be awesome is it possible for plants to be finished before there typical scheduled due date? My 8th week of flour would technically be 24 days From now obviously it depends on many factors"..

 

[green217]

I was using the term loole

I was using the term few weeks loosely,They still have quite a bit of filling out to do before harvest, but there is a lot of different opinions on the subject of when to harvest. Like I mentioned before I don't pay the trichs so much attentions as the general look. White pistils recede and brown, and the buds become denser, and you end up with more weight, imo. I go till I see foxtailing most of the time..You have a lot of plants at your disposal, when they start getting ready to harvest try them in stages maybe, and let some grow out longer than others and see what you think the best harvest time is.,I like to let some of my plants with a lot of under growth to go a little longer to, I'll chop the mains off the bushier plants and let the "popcorn" bud thicken up some.

 

[spokehead88]

That was great information green217... Thank you
Is flushing done on the last week of there growth? Or is it an additional week after they are mature and finished?
I'm going to use regular tap water just ph'd as well as making sure it sits for a couple days in my 5 gall jugs so chlorine can disapate as best as possible, do you think that can affect the buds in the end result since the ppm' are off and its not distilled water as that's what I only feed them with.
Do you leave it in the dark a couple day before harvesting?
How do you cute your buds of this quantity?
I know sorry for all the questions I'm going tore search all of it but if you have any advice again it would very most valuable .

Day 40 in flour and pushing forward
Im using h&g full line up I have not applied shooting powder just bought some curious to see the en
d result with that as I read it can bulk up nearly 20% of its tops so I'll see and as some readers might see I'll update soon
I'm amazed at how well these nutes are doing the trichcombes are ridiculous..... I'm hopping to yield at least a lb maybe more I'm not sure I have plants that are just abve 3 feet and others that are 2 1/2 feet yields will vary according to each plant obviously I just wonder if all that fimming, lolly popping, HST made a difference as my 2 week vegges are taller with stalky collas but less abundant in collas and fan leaves than other 4 week vegged ones. as Bob Marley says time will tell.....

 

[spokehead88]

46 days in flour
2 feeds with shooting powder
I'm guessing abt another 2 weeks but I may wait longer a as one suggested.. Then a 1 week flush then finally currying for at least 2weeks of cure...
I'm happy so far...
Here's a link to a video today...
