Signs of seeding

[Mushaman]

Was wondering if anyone knows the changes a Satti goes through when she's going to seed ... does the structure of the bud visibly change .. I ask because I am worrying over a couple of males that have popped out recently in my GR -

 

I'm pretty sure they were chopped well before any pods could have opened...but ya never know.

 

Maybe its paranoia but I fancy I can see little seed pods forming .. don't really know what they look like and I may be imagining it ... the buds could simply be changing because they are getting closer to finished ... anyway, took a pic and would appreciate any opinions or feedback .. especially if you've seen a satti go to seed before

buds would slow up growth musha , they put the energy into the seed production .... best get ya thumb & forwe finger & give em a slight pinch , you should be able to feel any seeds present ..... :smoke

thanks Ev

yeh ... can feel little hard bits in there .. reckon I don't wanna wait till they develop into fully blown seeds .... looks like not all buds are pollinated .. is that possible ... that is, many of the buds still have the hairy sea anenome format .. while in the pic I reckon I see developing seed pods :scratchin

[everest]

yea , ya can get some buds pollinated and others could be fine ... if ya don't think the satti has been pollinated it may just be strain related , hermi...at a late stage , i've had that ..... in the mex , buds we seeds still taste ok & potent , whay ya going to pull her ?

[Mushaman]

I'll let her go another day or so .. watching brief .... I'm gettin a bit bored with the waiting and she's taking up the space 4-6 other plantrs would occupy If I could do it today I think I would .. but i cant .. so probably tomorrow :mellow: it's going to be a long job ::

I'll do a mini-photo coverage of the chop for the GD

How long she been flowering Mushy?

 

I believe that cannabis can hermie itself in very late flower as a protection method, if it doesn't get male pollinated, it's only way of survival is self pollenation.

yes thats true, infact thats one way of getting feminised seed. eg leaving it too long, it then self seeds. but the seed is normally female.

heya mate ... she been flowering for 75 days thats nearly 11 weeks .... problem is, I have no idea what she's supposed to look like when she's finished flowering ... I assume there is a colour change in the T's like with other strains ... be really good to let her go on but i dont wanna end up with thousands of seeds .. I still have a few hundred of her sister seeds in storage :scratchin

 

also, the chanvces are, if she got pollenated, it was not hermie but one of the several males that have popped up and surprised me .. newbie cloning mistakes .... hopefully now corrected ..

the seeded up bud would look like its gonna mature alot faster than the rest of the plant and also the seeded up bud will pretty much stop growing more bud to concentrate on seeds :thumbdown

 

if you have a really thin and small knife like a scaple, cut an individual flower out of a bud and open it up to see if it is going to seed, if you dont have a scaple or something simular, i'd just cut up a really small bud and be careful not to chop through any seeds to make sure i knew if it were seeded or not

 

if its seeded and like mango sativa x northern lights, i'd let the seeds mature, you'd end up with around a 50/50 hybrid and you could call it something like mango lights

11 wks , that photo shows they have no guts , something wrong if they are 11wks into flower they should be heaps fuller and tighter than that .
