Well, I think I just learned an extremely valuable lesson. One I should have already known, but had to learn again I guess. I am currently 2-3 weeks from finishing my second grow ever, and am a little over a week into my third. For my second grow, I used bag seed from the two strains I have been getting from the same legal place for almost a year, because it was the first time I had ever got seed, and they were great looking seeds, I hoped they were female or reg seeds from a seed run. Then I find what is in the first picture. Damn hermie, crap, I look around and see balls on all of them.....damnit!!!!

So the lesson learned, don't think you know what you are doing and think you have the knowledge, when you really have no freakin clue.

Turns out, only that one was a hermie, and I think I must have had a small light leak, because I can't find any damn pollen sacs except for this one I found that looks like it opened. This is the second pic. Well I see on a random post here somebody thinking the same thing on their plant as I did. Somebody commented and said no, that is not a pollen sac. This is the third pic which I saw everywhere in my plants, and thought it was pollen sac.

While I am very happy that I will have good smoke soon, I am a bit bummed for one reason. I had taken 25 clones from these, and all 25 had roots, almost 20 were transplanted and doing great. Well the bright side is I now have a bunch of seed I ordered with a ton more on the way, and i'm about to have enough to get me through till another harvest without having to buy. (I need it medically and I need 1-2oz a week). My first grow I got 25 oz, with one plant, in this tent. So I hope I can get close to that with these 8 plants.

Last Pic is of the girls couple days ago, 7 weeks from the switch to 12/12.

Looks great even though they've hermied. And damn you do smoke a lot, 1-2 oz a week, lol.l

Thanks! Well, 1-2 oz a week I think is better than the 10 prescriptions I was on. I'm still taking 2, but 2 is much better than 10. At least only one hermied, and i can't find more than just the one sac that was released. Maybe i did a better job getting them than i thought. And, as i said i think it was just from a light leak in the corner of the tent. While i do have it wrapped in plastic, there are a couple times i forgot to wrap it back up after moving things around. The male parts i found were all in that one corner.

How much seed can be produced from one sac? I really have no clue, little help?
 
I also can't find any pistils that look like the tips are dying off (other than those on the edge of the tent that I have accidentally touched while working on everything, damnit. tent wont be as full next time).... how long does that take after pollination?
 
Oh I plan to. I'm going to be making some hash too. When I thought they were hermies, I went and got the bubble bags and washer to make hash. Might as well make a little hash.

If you have access to dry ice you might want to look into making dry ice hash. It's much simpler, faster, and leaves you with a finished product in minutes. I did the bubble bag method before. It comes out different but is too much hassle for me. Just a suggestion. :blsmoke:

Don’t you just put dry ice in the bag and shake it up? Most people have access to dry ice, almost every grocery store has it

How I wish this were true. The closest retail dry ice for me is 200 miles away. And I don't live in very remote area.
I have to get it by doing a backdoor deal from the dude working in the meat dept of the local grocery store.
He brings me out a box of busted up dry ice from the freight trucks on delivery day in exchange for some buds or concentrates.
Cant knock his hustle. LOL.
 
well, day 54 and I learned a lot. Middle plant got fried, bottom right either under fed or locked out. Anything low quality after trim will go into hash pile. Time to use what I have learned and make the third grow that much better. I'll get back to the adult table some day!

Damn Blue OG leaves are twisting, and there are no gnats, I’ve got traps everywhere just in case. Damn hope she’s just stretching her arms
