My ordered grow light took a bit longer to arrive, so I had to use some normal led bulbs, which led to my plants to stretch a little too much. Therefore I had to put them in new pots early for stabilizing these poor babies.
A combination of me using a soil poor in nutrients (newbie doing newbie things) and a delayed delivery of my grow light quickly led to a growth stunt.
After week 2 of vegetation my light arrived and I put my plants in slightly bigger pots, this time with nutrient rich soil.
Fortunately, they already continued growing.
Since repotting they gained a lot of size and a week ago it was time to move them to their final pots with volume of 11l.
Because of the limited size of my grow tent i had to top them a few days later. Having problems with air circulation and light not reaching the bottom of the plants, I also defoliated them a bit.
I'm thinking of starting the flowering period in a few days.
A week ago I started the flowering period.
All 4 plants already stretched a lot and are looking great.
I started to use Plagron nutrients, which already seems to have a good impact.
I'm starting to run out of horizontal space in my tent, I will probably install a scrog net in a few days in order to organize the plants a bit better.
Summer finally arrived, so I'm starting to have trouble to keep temperature and humidity low.
The stretch is fully underway. The first signs of the colas are already visible. Otherwise not much happened this week.
During examination of the plants a spot on critical orange punch stood out. It looks like this plant may be a hermaphrodite. I removed these parts and will be cautios for the next few days.
I'm afraid one of my plants might be hermaphrodite.
Today i spotted something that looks like male pistils.
I removed them carefully and found something similar at the plant and removed it aswell.
Should i remove the plant from my tent (3 other plants are inside) or keep it?
Yes, that is a pollen sack. But that does not mean that it will develop more. Check all the nodes if there are more. Rip them off carefully you do not want them to burst open. Keep an eye on it to check if it does develope more you might want to remove it away from other plants to preven seeds in your buds. And if that happens then you can still make bubble hash from weed with seeds. Happy Growing buddy! 💚
A lot of growth happened in week 3 of flowering.
On day 70 (day 21 of flowering period) I lolipopped my ladies.
I did not discover any new signs of one being a hermie, so I think I am safe for now. Keeping an eye open for any new signs.
In the end I installed the net inside my tent.
The stretch seems to be finally over, with all plants being about 60cm high, with the exception of the C.O.P. 2 with 70 cm.
Aside from this, not much happened this week.
Buds are developing very great.
Humidity and temperatures are quite high currently, but I try to prevent mold by creating air circulation in the grow room.
One day after creating the last report i discovered a tiny spot on a bud which began to rot. I removed this branch and the ones very close to this one very carefully. After a bit of research i decided to harvest because i didn't expect the weather to get any better the next two weeks.

have a look at this, to me in your photos are simple female single calax, which you get on each branch, at beginning of it.
@yaaqq1, growdiaries.com/grow-questions/43266-hermie-
Sometimes you can get single ball or very strange looking, just rip it off. Female calyx dont have tail to hang on, like cucumber or pumpkin, like in this my question, so easy to spot strange anomaly.
Hermie balls goes mostly in groups, female always singles , but in pair on each side...
Never stress and panic, always think and seek for answers...
@AsNoriu, thanks, this helped a lot. I probably got a bit paranoid from many reports of hermaphrodites.
It does in fact look like a calyx. Thanks a lot.
