Am I almost there? First time grower

[Cb750supersport]

Hi all I have read alot of info and to be honest I'm getting abit confused by all of it.. I have a female plant that has been in with a flowering male so hopefully it has seeds in there somewhere.

I'm not 100% how far away I am before it's time to harvest and is there any difference in harvest time for a plant that has seeds?

I have attached pics, hopefully someone can give me some answers/advise

No expert, only just coming up to the end of my first however I don’t think your girl is done.

Still sprouting white hairs so check back in1-2 weeks. This isn’t to say she will be done then. She may go longer as she looks to be Sativa Dom and ready for a bulk.

Get a minimum 60x loupe to check the trichs. Easily under £10 on amazon or ebay. As soon as you see about 5-10% amber give it a period of darkness.
24-48 hours and then chop.

That’s my plan. And I reckon I got a week left. These are some pics I took last night. She’s 3 days into being flushed. Day 63 of flower.

Thanks for your reply. Great advise, your plant looks awesome..

Agree with Paju, couple more weeks, btw nice first plant Paju!

Op, check for possible light leaks, timer issues or perhaps you had some stress, either way you're going to get some bud in a jar and some experience under your belt and that's what first time grows are all about so congratulations to both of you on your first efforts! Very nice!

Bad news - What you have is a Hermi that has already released pollen.
Bad news - A self-pollinated plant will produce about 80% herm seeds so basically they're useless.
Good news - A plant pollinated by a herm will produce fem seeds (with a slight chance of herm)

Your plant looks 3 or 4 weeks from done and is definitely stressed.

Good luck

^ thanks, I hate being the bearer of bad news LOL was that pollen sac in the first picture the clue? just a guess but I suspect he's not using a timer

Guys need to step up light levels , a lot of effort for too little payoff. Having said that it is still a rewarding feeling to know we have produced mother nature at its finest!

Hi how do you get that it's a herme? The pollen sacks are from the male plant the was next to it and there all over it because I shook the male plant over my female to pollenate it.... There aren't any seed pods growing on my female... Also how do I tell that its stressed. It looks pretty happy when i look at it?

Hi pollen sacks all over the plant are from the male plant that was next to my female and they are all over it because I shook the the male over top of the female.. I am using a timer on 12 12. I'm not sure it is a hermy because it has no actual pollen sacks growing on the plant... Thanks for your reply

wouldn't have hurt to say the sacs were from the male in the same tent.
it's to the point where i would be checking trichomes. it looks mature enough to harvest, now it's just a matter of waiting till you like the clear/milky/amber ratio.

Thanks, I actually thought saying it was in with a flowering male in my post would have made it clear but that's OK I can see how people would miss that my bad..ill start looking at the trichomes and see how it changes over the next few days. It seems to have tinny little flys in the soil and I have always had trouble with drainage so next time I'll try somthing different soil wise and I'm in the procces of getting more lights so hopfully next time it won't be such a flop... At the end of the day I don't have to pay for what I get off it so I'm happy. Thanks for your reply

probably fungus gnats, a small fan blowing across the tops of your pots helps with those, they don't like the surface to be dry, and the wind messes with them. the yellow sticky traps also works real well for them. they aren't a huge problem unless you have a lot of them, then the larva they lay in your pots can mess up your roots, but a few are no big deal

Oh cool I'll get another fan blowing across the pots and get a fly catching tape sticky thing.. What ever you call them... This is my first attempt at growing and pollenateing a female so I'll hopfully do better with my next try
