A Little Help Please

Straight to the point. Growing ethos crescendo RBX one. First grow was OK. Second harvest looked better than the first(im finding seed this round just started trimming). I wanna cut down the third harvest that is 2 weeks behind the one I’m trimming now 7 days early, but I also wanna wait a week. I’m scared about seeds. I don’t know how that happened. Must’ve been some sort of stress. I grow no males. I’m wondering if I should cut down the third one now or not. Could I have let the second one go too long and that’s why I got seeds? Could it have been some sort of stress? Do you see seeds? Is it time to chop?

I guess they don’t really, just don’t want them. I guess kinda asking in a way if anyone else grew these and had the same problem. I bought a ten pack, poppped one seed, and now second harvest and I have 50. Could it be the geno? Or did I fuck it up somewhere? Do you think I should wait, or from the pics do you think they’re done? I have a different strain ready to go in the room but don’t want to fuck up my two week cycle.

I have no absolute answer, but IMHO, pot has been so manipulated and inbred (often irresponsibly) that genetic issues, like hermies, are become more and more common.

I think so though of course they always existed I think these days with so many chucks around with no testing happening with most of them it's becoming more prevalent I agree bud back in the day most folk put time into a line minus bagseed wonders of course now id say if your lucky 20% of people test there stuff properly

Naw, I don't see any seeds and I wouldn't chop them early when it only has that short of time to finish! I mean it could be a number of different things that caused it. Maybe look into the breeders and see if that strain has had problems in the past. Weed has that trait in general because it wants to survive, we as humans try to stop NATURE from happening, but it happens!
Was this FEM seeds? You said you don't grow males, so I'm guessing these are feminized and one of the donor parents stresses over something you happened to do which triggered it in the children.. I think the only real way to know is to finish the round, harvest the plants and pay close attention while trimming to see how many seeds you see, and also inspect every branch closely to see if there is a nanner hanging out of a bud, or a ball sack hanging off of the branch... That will tell you if the plant was an actual hermie and had both parts, or it was solely a female pollinating herself to survive. If it had both parts that will likely keep doing the same thing when stressed, it will give lots of seeds and all the seeds will do the same. If it's from a nanner hanging out the but, it could still do this if triggered, but it would possibly have a small amount of seeds near where the nanner popped out, or in direct line of where a fan blew it from one branch to the other. Those seeds will be 99% feminized but will likely do the same thing, want to survive and give you a ten pack of seeds each time to try again lol
If this is from a feminized seeds, maybe you should be popping regular seeds and tossing the males. Because this seems to happen far more it seems in feminized seeds and autoflower. I do regular seeds 80% of the time, and the times I did fem, I ended up with seeds in my plants.

I think it's the breeder, over feeding, or the fact it just wants to survive by seed for future generations. This pic they actually do look done by the fade on them so I would say if you are tired of them and ready to move on chop em down!
If it's a week or two early, they should still be good. If not make some bubble hash
What is the next strain? ✌

I think I err more on the side of under feeding. But I appreciate your input. It happens too my buddy who pushes his plants all the time. I just make my own soil w gia green and top feed 70/30 bloom/grow when I move to flower room and 100 bloom around 3/4 weeks in( I should keep better track of when I do). Feed only water w/ fish emulation and recharge once a week or two. I run 4 racks 2x4 with 3 plants on each rack and I try to stay on a two week perpetual cycle in and out of flower room( plants don’t always cooperate). Next chop is these beautiful Ethos Endgame r2’s( darker plant) then this Solfire Dark Krystal( went in the same time as endgames but it’s definitely going to be around 2 weeks behind)

Is Chuck a play on works because I’m a Charlie? Isn’t Ethos supposed to be a good breader? These damn seeds weren’t cheap.

I've heard good things about those seeds I'm more talking in general terms these days most breeders are targeted pollen chuckers due to legality few can run the numbers we should also people demand stuff now now now so testing takes a back seat with most also alot of the popular stuff is from bagseed wonders rather than from a real breeding program i aint knocking ethos im sure they do the best they can with what they got as for pricing ime price and quality don't always correspond I've had good and bad cheap seeds and good and bad expensive seeds I never noticed too much difference

Let the plants finish.
Get as much weight as you can, because there's going to be the same amount of seeds regardless and if anything they'll might be easier to spot when the buds are fully swollen vs not.
