the trichs are almost all milky with a few clear and a few amber. my question is i was plannin on harvesting wensday but i'm starting to see more and more seeds to develop. I'm not sure where they are coming so far late in the flowering process. should I chop it down or will the extra three days be worth it. I'd rather have a headier high with less seeds than a stonier one with more seeds.

you just answered you own question. cut him if you want less seeds and a head high.
 
Sounds like the plant has gone AC/DC. If you look hard, more than likely you'll find male parts, incomplete ("bananas") or complete flowers. When this happens, it is the plant's response that it wishes to carry on the species and a flag that it's time to harvest. Seeded plants are just as potent as sensi, don't let a few seeds bother you other than the aggravation of fetching them out.

Happy harvest,

Or that could just be the calyxes swelling, as they do when ripe. It makes it look like there is a seed forming, but the flower is empty. Have you opened any calyxes and found a seed? You may be pleasantly surprised to find that you have some ripe sensimillia.

If you harvest after 1-2 days of darkness then resin will flow to the buds because the plants are being tricked. They think they are dying, that would compensate for the three days that you think you are losing because of thc production concerns.

Excellent point. Seedless calyxes will collapse when you pinch one between your index finger and thumb, you'll definately feel a seed within a calyx.
 
So why would you make your user name the name of an actual living still around person? just curious. unless i mean you are Doug Benson. good luck on the seeds.
 
the calyxes were swollen but there were also fully developed seeds. Also after harvest i had 27.7oz wet of bud of two plants. thanks for the help everyone.
 
Did you ever find the male wonderer? Sounds strange, but if it was just a rare male hiding in the bush, the chances are real good that all of those seeds are feminized and do not carry the hermie trait. If you don't believe me, consult Mel Franks Insiders Guide concerning this fact.
