Underthestairsgrowbrostarted grow question 6y ago

If youve been following, my main girl hermiated. This girl has been flowering for 5 weeks with an 8-9 week flower expectation. Any reason why the pistils turned so early? Started to notice around week 3-4

Hopefully just genetics. When a bud gets pollinated, the pistils turn more dark brown and it looks a bit different. If the buds stop bulking up and putting on weight for a while AND orange hairs means it probably got pollinated. It isn't the end of the world and you should still have some awesome bud when she finished. Hermie isn't contagious (unless it's stress induced and you stress out all of your plants) so this one probably won't hermie and be able to push through fine. happy growing! 👊

Some strains there pistils will ripen faster then trichomes. This is exactly why checking trichomes on when to harvest is the best method. Your hairs can be turned color and shrunk but trichomes still clear as day. I recommend a 40x jewelry loupe. 10 bucks Amazon. Also there are strains where there pistils will remain white no matter how long you let it grow.

Because it isn’t a computer program that will end exactly in 21 days 13 hours and 10 sec 😊 I don’t know if you understand me lol 😄. It’s mostly an Indica dominant, Indica’s flowering period is short, around 55 days to 60 days and sometimes for the longest one around 65 days to 70 days, it isn’t an exact science bro. But for sure, yours is nearly done, perhaps another 2 weeks more.

Small Buds Day 52 of flower nearing harvest. Overall, the buds are nice and frosty, but small. The buds growing under colas are size of a gum ball. Do you think this is the strain, or due to nutrients? Using Element Nutrients feeding schedule (Complete, Flower Fuel) every other watering.

How long until harvest?It's 5 wks since pistals started showing. Bud growth has slowed and ~5% of the trichomes on lower sugar leaves have turned Amber. 1st grow, not sure what to expect, but thought buds would be bigger by now. I'd like to know 1) how long until harvest and 2) will buds fatten up?

Buds not developing (Blue Dream Auto)This plant is still looking like mid flower although every other in the same grow is already drying. I had a PH problem early in the flower stage which isn’t good but they seemed to bounce back well besides this one. Should I keep waiting or is she doomed?

Harvest autoflower so soon?Auto Gelato from Ganja Farmer. Its day 58 and the trichomes are cloudy and the pistils are red/orange. The buds are beautiful and fragrant but still pretty small. Can she really be nearing harvest in less than 2 months? Is bud size typically lost in favour of speed with autos?

It's a bit small but maybe she got stressed a bit? I remember reading that Sativa can last longer in flowering? Could I do a top half harvest as it's quite full of popcorn buds.
