Hermie (Gary Payton BF) managed to pollinate all other plants really hard. tow weeks to finish, should i harvest no for hash or wait and hash it. It looks milky is it possible that pollinated flower turn faster ripe?

let it go and then hash it. The plants will be focuseing on seed production, you can roat em in eat them. Don't grow the seeds it makes. just more hermies.

dude, tubullarly radical question my human overlord - cant wait to see this site in a few years lol honestly horse manure, seeds take ~6 weeks to mature. Until you have dozens of pollination sites, dozens of fully formed seeds, on a single flower are you gonna see any math or ratio taken from secondary metabolites. In fact, most breeders ascribe extreme resin production to females involved in breeding...even then, as you'll see with the seed formation at the end, the plant will decide which to put effort into. given the physical discernment of pollen is all the plant has for sexual reproduction, the mechanism of the pistil brining pollen down in, that will look like a "matured" pistil. This is the only crossover. Otherwise, seeded flower takes the same amount of time generally to mature, and seeds take longer than flower.

If yoh plan to hash it - wait, youll get more mass. I had RQS Cookies go hermie on me and polinating all room, still smoked all that kilo that i harvested. Just was grinding by hands to take out all seeds and shells . Potency was still ok, not so many seeds as my paranoia telling me at the end ;)

yo bro good answer 💯 that’s exactly how it is—once they get hit with pollen, plant stops stackin and shifts focus to seeds, so buds can look done quicker but trichomes still need time to ripen right if you want quality for hash or smoke. nice one man, learned somethin new 🐚

If you intend to make hash from it, just let it ripen as normal. you still want the reduced number of trichomes to be as potent as possible. Sure seems like it finishes faster when exposed to pollen in my limited breeding cycles. Seems to stop adding calyxes to bud sites at that point and focuses on seeds. the buds seem smaller if pollinated early on. But, if it was pollinated after all the budsites developed, it shouldn't be any shorter. I think it's just a matter of the plant not adding newer waves of calyxes during that initial bud development. If you find a reputable original source (not anecdote) that says otherwise, that obviously carries more weight. It's easy to 'see' false positives when not controlling variables and comparing to a control group to test the hypothesis.
