so i am (medical/personal) growing Amherst SourD (told its a 9week strain) in a 4x8 tent in a garage with a 600 and 1000w air cooled hoods. everything is dialed in, temps, co2, soil, nuts, ipm.....buds are huge, dense, a great crop is forming. been growing in this same space/tent setup for 4 years now. the only changed i made this year was going to 15gal pots and i added some duct to the intake to be closer to the cold air from the window.
around week 4-5 i start seeing red hairs on some branches directly under the center of the 600 (first in line from intake)
i thought russett mites first and started spraying green clean. no other sign of bugs, no twisting leaves etc.
now at week 6.5 (day 46, started12/12 Oct 1) i see some nanners and now i know i dont have mites but a light issue. Apparently the 6in duct was reflecting light from the intake window through the flexi duct tube and into the hood and down onto the plants.
So last night i inspect and find some small nanners, plucked them off with tweezers. and think great, about a third of the 3 plants under the 600 are seeded. i feel (squeeze) one bud, i dont feel hard seeds yet.
what do i do now?
the buds affected are mostly/all red hair shriveled up and buds are dense and falling over. trics are mostly clear some cloudy.
Do i harvest the pollinated buds now in week 7 and let the rest go?
how long can i go before actual seeds form?
OR let it all go and have a lot of feminized seeds?
I dont need seeds at this time.
ps i fixed the light issue last night by moving the duct away from the window last night.
lesson learned, light travels through silver flexi duct.
thanks in advance for your help.
