Hi all,
Absolute beginner here!
I’ve flushed this plant and was planning on harvesting soon… but I notice this new, light green growth in the uppermost bud. Any idea what that is?
I’ve made a hot mess of the lighting, a combination of cheap LEDs, sunny windowsills, etc. I suppose I should be cutting this down shortly, based on photos?
Thanks!
Those are nanners and you have a hermie on your hands. I would get rid of the plant if you have other females around, as it will pollenate your females. If is a single plant, then you can grow it out, but you will have seeded, less potent weed.
Here’s a clear pic of “nanners.”
I would chop it now. Chances are if you are seeing them up high there are more on the low branches that have already released pollen
Yeah, you probably somehow clipped the top of it off and it’s trying to just split either one on each side, right
Hermies at this stage are most often the result of an environmental stressor.
Thank you! There was another plant beside it. A different strain. It’s not quite as far along as the plant pictured. Should chop that one too? How can one tell if a plant has been. Pollinated or not?
A pollinated plant will produce seeds. I would get rid of the hermie before it pollinates your other female, if it hasn’t already. The hermie is close enough to harvest, or at least the best it is going to get. How many weeks has the hermie been flowering?
6-7 weeks I think, since I first noticed pistils. I’ve chopped it down since my last post. The other plant is 10 days behind. Both tiny (I bought a couple seeds to see if I could grow anything on a not especially sunny windowsill in a northern European location. Answer: “not really, no”. But in the interest of salvaging what very little I’ve been able to grow, I wonder, should I chop the other one down, assuming it’s been pollinated, or does it not really matter now if it has, and I should continue to grow it a few weeks longer? I guess it’s a question about what is less bad: not quite mature but only just recently pollinated bud, or mature pollinated bud that has allowed to mature? Not ideal, obviously! Thanks for reading and responding!
I would grow the one that might be pollenated until she is mature. You should have better quality smoke that way. You will just have seeds.
