well this is like my 4th indoor grow. i never had anything that had to go so long(over 8 weeks now). i started another thread and learned a little about late nanners and foxtails and calyxes. my plants to me at least seemd almost done then these little tips people are calling foxtails started and according to others the pods that looked like seed pods to me are actually calyxes. so you would think dont pull right? but what about how the pistels are browning now?can you have a pistel boom then slow down and brown alittle then another pistel boom at the end? and to top it off ive been flushing almost 2 weeks now. how are the trichs looking to u guys ? this is weird i know there is stuff i dont know about, but this aint my first bbq and ive been on this and other sites for over a year and never knew about some of this stuff like harmless late nanners and the foxtails or the term for the pistel pods "calyxes" well im gunna put some more pics up and see what the pros think TO PULL OR NOT TO PULL "THAT" IS THE ? thanks all
foxtails nanners calyxes oh my. thought i knew everything should i pull?

This is the THIRD thread you have started asking the same questions with the same pics my friend! I and others have already responded.......... but lets see what those 'pros' think
well like i said in the thread, i started another thread earlier. i dont think everyone reads the whole thread and follows every thing that is said. so i started this one with more specifics with the knowledge i now know in hopes for more input. but of course it wouldnt be possible for me to do this without a certain type of people to complain that i started a similar thread. if those same people who are complaining about it would have read the entirety of the other threads they would see the conflicting comments i get and maybe understand why i started another more detailed specific thread it sucks that i even have to waste time explaining this when i could just be reading positive input.i see the same thing all over this site yeah and some maybe deserving of it. but what do u get out of pointing it out. it says somthing about an individual who does that crap

You need to harvest based on trichs. As the plant matures it will continue to add weight (and probably add new calyx growth), but there is a potency window within which you need to harvest for maximum THC.
So, you get a microscope or magnifying glass and look at the trichs. I like to harvest when they are mostly cloudy with a few amber...and from the first pic I can see some amber...so you're probably about ready to chop.
Don't wait because you want to see bananas (nanners) which are male pollen sacks because they might never come. Foxtailing is not something you can really control, as it is more strain-specific...I don't know why you'd want your plant to do that...give me fat dense buds instead of little stringy bands of calyxes.
Pistils, or hairs, come from each calyx and turn orange/red/brown as you know. As the plant matures, older calyxes/pistils will turn color first while new calyxes push out white hairs. So it is possible to have both as flowering progresses, and is the main reason you want to check your trichs for peak harvest time.

i dont think it looks nannered out and ive had two crops of nanners. let it ride. use a 420 microscope to look at the trics. google it.
i wasnt meaning i wanted them"foxtails" what i meant was it was somthing new to me.just learned about them in another thread i started. and does anyone know if these fat calyxes are going to sprout more pistels or just be fat calyxes

Pickleman, I pointed it out in a light hearted manner mate! But as you choose to make an issue of it I'll tell you why it irritated me. 4 separate threads now (below) ALL asking the same basic question AND getting some good informative replies from clearly knowledgable growers!
At what stage will you see that there is no definitive answer and that YOU may actually have to make the call based on all of the replies you have already received or are you going to start thread number 5 ?

im an easy going guy and to each his own. i didnt knock on your door and ask you for your comments.if u see my questions and want to reply thanks i appreciate the help. if i start to get you irritated cuz u see similar threads of mine its a simple solution dont click on it, click on something that makes u happy most people here do not know everything and have not had every single issue happen to them. i dont know if u noticed while following my irritating threads ive been gettin a little more info from people that seem to have had the same experience as me. im seriously not trying to come off as a dick but dude u dont own this place im just a grain of sand at the beach theres a whole lot of other stuff to check out instead of my irritating threads and by the the looks of it you have been searching for them but again thanks for your positive input postsPickleman, I pointed it out in a light hearted manner mate!

Like you, I'm not as well versed as I would like to be. I had the same question about nanners. I recieved multiple posts saying a couple different things than from what was posted on your thread. Male flowers ARE NOT the same thing as nanas. Nanas are hermaphodite flowers, not male flowers. Male flowers have 5 pedals and look like a mini tulip of sorts. If the bud is on a true female plant, the bud grows nanas, it could be 1 of 2 things. First, stress of some kind can cause the nana to emerge. 2, at the very last stages of flowering most strains will produce male-like flowers that grow on the bud. Most growers harvest before this stage due to THC degradation, so not too many actually see it.
I was told to take the pollen and save it. If you use the pollen to pollinate a true female, you will produce femminized seed.

yeah thats what the verdict seems to be. the thing is it seem to be going backwards now. but at the same time i have alot of calyxes that are bursting at the seams with pistels that looks like fists with 20 fingers opening. on the other hand i have similar looking calyxes that look fat and the pistels look brown already and ive heard thats what happens when they have been pollenated.and as we speak i have started the chop and trim process my buddies in the rv right now i just came to check mail. but i have been seeing a lot more nanners and even a 2 or three pack of them. 90 %seem new but i have seen a few older ones so i guess i might never have the 100% answer to my questions. oh well hope fully it will be prettty good stuff still. my buddies drooling while trimming and im just looking for seeds and hoping it will look good when dry and trying to guess what my yield will be im guessing around 8 ozerz off 4 plants
