Feminized seeds tend to throw out hermaphroditic flowers (i.e. displaying both male and female sex organs). Though usually not in abundance, it is somewhat typical to find a premature seed or sometimes even a mature seed in a sinsemilla crop bred from feminized seed stock.
I wouldn;t be too worried about it, these things happen.
I recommend getting regular seeds, as regular seeds extend the genetic lines while not compromising the genetic phenotypes of said strain(s)...feminized seeds is a gimmick; greedy seed companies push them to the American farmer who operate under illegal laws in order to create a nice product in the shortest amount of time possible. If cannabis were legal, feminized seeds would cease to exist or be kind of a joke of the industry because they do not preserve genetic stock. Good breeders dont mess with feminized seed stock.
Grow regular seeds, learn about the selection process (quite fun and engaging), and cull everything that is not the best. Take the best, clone it into a mother plant and run that line for a while...this is what exceptional cannabis breeders and growers do year after year.
Final note: Regular seeds can also push out hermaphroditic flowers, but the chances of this happening are less than with feminized stock.

Yea they all need 2wk min. and a wk flush is fine. To bring out more violet/blue color you need colder temps during this last two wks like around 45F.
The color change in blueberry/purple strains is just part of their ripening and usually come out better during colder temps. So if you dont have cold temp and they arnt blue dont worry its not like you did something wrong.

Hey snafu, I was curious about my LA Confidetial, IT does look ripe, and it hasn't changed in two weeks but all the trichs are just thick cloudy no amber. I was thinkin with the LA I wanna drag it out just a bit to give it that extra umf. what do you think

Day 39
How much longer do you think?
I guess at least 2-3 weeks but I am not experienced. I was hoping to sample some on Turkey Day which I will do regardless

I did just post and say your LA is done. I thought i did this already, so i went back and found my original quote/post:
Everything is done except your blue widow. Nice grow btw, +rep
So, alas, that would include your LA confidential.

You do not have to get them to 45F. Honestly, I wouldn;t even consider pushing them to 45F.
Blue/purple hues will show at temps 65F and less. I would not go below 58F.
Though Mr. Green Thumb may have had success in this temperature range, I feel that it is much too cold to push forth throughout flowering and expect good yields and minimal stress. Plant metabolic processes start to slow down, extremely, under temperatures of 55F.
Lastly, I have a purple maroc in flower right now and my temperatures have never gotten below 61.7F. She is showing some awesome hints of purple and lavender. I have also run many Purps; temps have never gotten below 60F in any of my grows, and I have had some of the best purple/blue hues you could ever want.
Just my two cents. If you do decide to push to 45F for color, just remember who told you not to

mmm if thats a sativa I would harvest now to a week. Sativas are best when all the trichs are cloudy maybe even a lil clear imo w/ like no or very little amber.
They are looking pretty cloudy to my naked eye and those hairs are relaxing which is a sign of maturity.

This is true but just for the last week I like to stress the hell outta em.You do not have to get them to 45F. Honestly, I wouldn;t even consider pushing them to 45F.

And if you think about it anything outdoors easily gets exposed to temps 45 and even lower. And imo some of the most vibrant colored plants come from outdoors.
O and I ment like 45 night temps and it would prob be like 60ish during the day...it would be hard to get temps lower than that with hid lights running anyway.

Yea day 39 id say another week but like I said thats just me I like em cloudy at the peak of thc production.
2 wks would be fine also or 3...really most of it is preference...commercial growers push until all hairs recede and are basically all red and at this point you will have alot of amber trichs. They do this to get the most weight out of their flowers. But a lot of personal growers prefer to harvest at peak thc production or at the first sign where the plants trichs are degrading faster that being produced. This would be around 50-75% red hairs and right when the most trichs are cloudy with maybe a little clear and few amber if not any. I have read countless articles on harvesting and really its all preference. Also remember trichs continue to mature even after harvest through the whole cure.

Look pretty much done, but need a better pic w/o the lights on.
