Hi! So I have three autos (grape, Northern lights, white widow) just going into their 5th week of flowering. They were on 18/6 but switched them to 12/12 because I thought I had to, then changed the light schedule a couple days agp tp 20/4 because I read that autos aren’t affect ed by light switches or schedules and that THC is maximized during light… I won’t lie, I also wanted to hurry it up it’s my first grow and I’m pretty excited… here’s the problem: I just checked them and found so many sacs, thought they went hermie so my knee-jerk reaction was to scrape like 20 off of two plants (grape and a white widow) until I realized that maaaaybe they are female calyxes? I’m posting pictures but I think they were- two hairs protruding (sigh) and were mostly under buds.
Did I damage or stunt my girls in any way? Or did they turn hermaphrodite because of the sudden light switch? Shoot me now. I should also say they used to be four autos, but one was clearly a male at the end of week three so I yanked it out. Thanks everyone!
