Is my ZZ skittles ready? Need advice

I think that it's less than 8 hours of light that causes problems. You would likely see rapid yellowing and all sorts of signs before she outright died. As long as she keeps green and turning up towards the light I think you're golden.
Yeah but does it need to be under direct light?
Look at it as being under a tree in the shade for 5hrs a day

Plant looks fine, needs at 3ish weeks. It’s a little hungry which is why it’s yellowing, but it’s closeish to the end so fuck it.

Just keep it alive and wait for it to finish. Which means checking the trichomes in 3 weeks and seeing if the plant is ripe yet or needs more time.

Will do, do you perhaps know if they accept "shadelight" as normal light? You can compare it with being under a tree in the shade i feel that this is such a noob question :(

From what I’ve seen different plants are effected by different levels of light. So it’s very subjective. I wouldn’t stress it to much. Give it as much light as you can to get the best potential out of the plant, that simple.

The only real way of knowing is waiting a few days with her under the light conditions and then maybe showing us what she looks like after. But I suspect that it is enough to keep her alive. Even if it isn't she won't combust into useless ash, you will still get your bud as it is now from her. It sounds like enough light to scare us photoperiod folks with our light sensitive dark cycles away hissing and screaming ;)

Damn, that sucks! Stay healthy. Hope you and yours are healthy and that your car isn't a total wreck.

And don't panic yet, hermies can give you good bud still, especially if it is just some bananas and not full on clusters of pollen sacs. You just want to make sure any other grows you have going on don't share airflow, and either douse yourself in water or change clothes between rooms.

And yeah i think it's just bananas :) so should i let her go? Or cut her
Will see if she develops more tomorrow
Definitely some nanners if pictures I have seen before are any proof. If it were me and she was my only plant I would stick with her at this stage cuz I am cheap and weed is expensive here, and you are closer to finishing her than finishing a new plant even if it goes stress free from day one.
It seems like you really wanna cut her though, and it is a tough problem to manage herms especially amongst other plants.

Man, fuck people who are distracted enough to rear end folks. Get off your damn phones and shit :[
Was an elderly Guy who didn't even knew where he was i think, took a lot to stay calm. So ignorant.
And yeah i was wondering if it would affect the thc very hard in any way. Otherwise i'll just cut in 2days.
Give her a bit more time and then Chop her

I'm also not the best at managing herms atm because it's my first grow.

Totally fair, I found a pollen sac on my first grow but after it had opened. I never saw any other signs of stress, and I ended up with maybe 12 seeds from the entire 4 ounces. So mine was not too bad, but I have seen the losing battles some folks fight. I saved the seeds but likely not gonna pop them. Too coward >.<

I looked for strains for my first grow that were boring but stable and I am starting to think about trying some more adventurous ones now. You should do up a journal for your next grow if you're planning one. I need more folks to watch who are at my skill level. All these pros make me feel inadequate lol

So you would say to just let her be? I Mean i could let her go untill i feel like these are too much nanners, let's Chop, or does it not work like that?

And sure will do! Next one will be in a tent though. Either Green gelato or Royal gorilla
I'll add you :)

I don't think the bananas affect potency, but if you get her full of seeds, from what I u understand she will stop trying to bulk up her buds, cuz the seeds are genetically more important.

Oh okay. I'll try to manage the nanners then.
Will the seeds form either way or if i were to cut say in a week, would they stop developing?
