Hey SeedlessRyda, thanks for your feedback. I know secretly in my heart you are probably right, but am still firmly in denial mode at the moment. Do you think the fact they are only under fluro's could mean they get their pistils a little later? I can't bear it...
You give me hope.
Thanks for your kind words CuriousKinds. I sincerely hope you are right. I have just been staring at them for about the last 20 mins, willing them to sprout pistils...nothing doing. Although....if I squint real hard, I am sure I can see maybe the teeniest, tiniest hair coming out of one of them...but that could just be wishful thinking and my terrible eyesight.
Ahhhhh, Herb Man, say it ain't so....
Keep your fingers crossed that I don't have to escort them from the property! It will be a sad, sad day...
sad
?
Oh SHIT! Really? Like now? They're asleep..can it wait until the morning? I don't want to stress out Pearl even more and turn her Hermie as well.
. But the secret to all of this is not to over do it. This plant has been growing for milions of years all by itself. Just a little attention should be enough. Hey! Why do you think they call it WEED? It grows everywhere.
Actually, its quite typical for indoor gardeners to remove, or prune off, large fan leaves that would otherwise be blocking light to the inner nodes. Not everybody just throws their plants outside, and they need to make the most of their lighting in this manner.Chill... Nothing is gonna happen. They are just weeds. They can wait till the morning.
On a personal note, i would advise you not to "defoliate" so much from now on(maybe just a little if really necessary)... and I am suprised no one advised you sooner about this... It might be tempting to defoliate(such a beautiful word) but what you are actually doing is hurting your little babies... Think of the leaf as being the powerplant for your plant... It uses the leaf to make food for itself by photosynthesis... well... if you remove those what do you think it is going to happen? That is like starving the plant... the food is there(light, nutrients) but the plant can only process so much because it doesn"t have the proper "tools" aka leaves. And it has to spend precious energy on growing new seats of leaves. Also during flowering the leaves are the first to turn yellow. Why do you think is that? Because the plant is using the last of its energy and stored nutrients to make buds... it redirects energy from leaves to Buds. What happens when you dont have enough to diverge? You have a poor harvest.
Like you... I also had my share of mistakes... I'm still making them
All the best of luck with your grow
Ahhhhh, Herb Man, despite the gravity of the situation, you make me laugh. Ping Pong? I feel like I'm in the mens locker room...blinkin' balls everywhere. I can't move for balls! But I'm putting on a brave face (smirks).
That's the spirit. Sometimes you've just got to take it on the chin Lady H.
Now you're taunting me (hehehe). What with your 'never had a Hermie' and your smoking your very successfully homegrown OG Kush...only kidding. Was it lovely? Can I come round for a puff? I may get a nice little Henry off Pearl if I'm lucky.That's the spirit. Sometimes you've just got to take it on the chin Lady H.
Good to see you fighting back though.
Never had a hermie, so I will stay tuned in to see how this reverse stuff plays out, you have nothing to lose.
You are going to come out of this experience older, wiser and with dramatically improved ball handling skills.
I'm gonna smoke up some of this homegrown OG Kush for you and send some positive energy your way
