If you grow feminized seeds then you're growing hermi beans, only way to get them. Commercial feminized seeds are created when using something like Colloidal Silver to cause the the plant to produce pollen. On a stress scale of 1-10, Colloidal Silver is around an 8 or a 9.Most people wouldn't grow hermi beans, but I've had good experiences outdoors with them. Just have to watch them closely during flowering
That will take a while, atleast another month>probably more!hi all
this is in their 9th week of 12/12
any idea when to chop ?

Atleast 10 days, maybe 2wk. depending on Trichome developementView attachment 2617664View attachment 2617665View attachment 2617666 Any idea how much longer? Unknown NorCal Kush strain. About 9 weeks flowering. 12/12 from seed
they are bag seedsThat will take a while, atleast another month>probably more!
Thanks for your input...I promise I am looking on the Calyx...and there are a ton of cloudy trichs. Upon a more in-depth 2nd look, you were right, the amber that I am seeing IS mostly on the leaves rather than the calyxs. I have no problem waiting longer, I'm just not sure why it is taking so long for these to be done? Have I done something wrong? Also, just as a side note, the camera I am using does not do the plant justice. The pistils are much more orange and receeded than the pictures are showing, but you were also right that there are still a larger # of white ones that have yet to recede.That wont taste very good unless you let it go another month, seriously.
Trichomes amber on leaves b4 Calyx, when Trichome are mostly cloudy on Calyx>it'll be done.
How do you have amber on the Calyx, when they haven't fully formed yet?
Still massive amounts of white hairs still that should be red+receding before harvest.
Thanks KN, I'll let it go awhile longer, it just seems like it has taken FOREVER. I look forward to the calyxs fattening up a bit. I fully intend to invest in quality seeds on my next grow, I just wanted to get one under my belt to learn the basics before I invested any more time/money. All in all I feel I have learned so much over the past 4 months, and continue to learn more and more every day thanks to people like you. I have two other plants that I have been experimenting with (from the same bagseed)...once those are harvested, I'll be securing some better quality seeds for the next time around. Thank you for your kind/straight forward words.I assure you haven't done a thing wrong most likely it's just the genetics in the bean you planted.
I've seen these kinds of plants many times from bagseed, honestly it doesn't look very appealing.
Sometimes the pistil will turn orange before the calyx swells + then it recedes in and changes to red.
I personally like to let all the Calyx swell nice and fat before harvesting, with all pistils red + receding.
You are growing a slow flowering bagseed so you might have a few white hairs on top @ harvest.
Now that you know you can grow/flower a plant successfully; You should buy some beans with good genes.
Bowlfull,looks like its stress hermied to me man. I wouldn't be surprised to find thousands of tiny undeveloped seeds in that plant. I would chop that thing down, make ice hash with what is left. Its going to be pure fluff and junk. Order some seeds for your next run man.
