Finding seeds a week before harvest

BurnzyBurnz said:

These are last night's pictures. I picked them off with tweezers but during that process I found 2 mature seeds and one other I couldn't even pick out. Do you think I should flush and cut as planned over the next 4 days or cut immediately ?

So what? Some believe that seeded delivers a different buzz. Some say better! Seeded weed has several more cannabinoids then unseeded!

FLUSH? Final flushing - removes NOTHING from the plant. It is based on an old school idea that is based in logic. While it sounds good by logic. It has zero basis in actual plant biology!
The plant is not capable of having any "nutrient" flushed from it.

The idea of the fade is in reality. Kind of dumb. The bulk of the "stored" nutrition in a plant is mostly in the roots. As that is used up by the plant. It then begins to feed off it's self in a desperate attempt to reproduce. The things you want to remove from the parts of the plant we smoke. Is exactly where this nutrition is being sent. Your reducing nothing.

All your doing is forcing the plant to ripen faster. This reduces the end bulk and potency buy not allowing the plant to mature on it's own, natural, biological process!
The real maturing of terps and THC. Are adversely effected by causing the plant to speed up it's demise..

Spend some time finding out how to dry and cure properly! It'll all be better that way...

This "flushing" horse is so dead......The nutrient companies need to stop beating it.

Those who carry the myth on need to

and get educated....

NOT a personal attack!
Simply information you need to consider for growing to the best potentials of a strain.. There's is so much you loose by flushing and starving a plant for 2 weeks...Fading doesn't work either.

Being so enthusiastic makes me panic a little more too.

I have asked numerous times of you and 2 others. One of which made up the silly myth.

Where is the proof that seeded weed has more and different canabanoids?

Let me put an observation out here.

Next run, less N in bloom. That may just solve your herming with this strain. It's doing so by stress. Your N is too high as they are expressing this by being dark green and hooked down leaves. Classic high N being expressed.

You may want to run 2 weeks or a bit longer yet.....They are not bulked up....Still, you flushed, they may not much more. The pistils should be more receded into the swelling calyx's.
You also don't have all cloudy trich's yet. These thing's generally tell me 2+ weeks yet....

They DO look nice otherwise.

I totally understand this! Most do the same thing, when starting out... Patience in growing, is generally a learned practice.

You'll get it! Just be patient and observant. In time, you'll know what the plant is telling you! Learning is not done just by growing. Reading quality books helps.

Pleased to meet you dude, anyone that can stick around long enough will fit in fine in General and get to know most others well enough not to give a crap when things do get heated.



I read your grow journal, get that fan off the plants, far too windy and your leaves look like they need a better environment for transpiration. PPMs are way too high, not to say that you need to go low but i feel you could cut them in half and work up maybe, 1ec is around good for most after they get some roots. Why not just start in either coco or rockwool and run that for the next year till you master it, also i feel you could have just used either the aquaflakes or coco a+b and none of the other additives, possibly this is why your PPM seems really high idk. Anyway goodluck there.
