I had 4 plants (3 satori, one safari mix that looks very Sativa dominant), growing in a 4X5 space in soil (FF OF soil) under a 400 w HPS.
These plants have been in 12 12 for over 70 days, and while the trichs are beginning to go opaque, none are yet amber. I am guessing another week before the chop.
One of the Satori grew a couple of bananas in the buds, so yesterday that plant was chopped. It looks like some of the buds on that plant have immature seeds, but none of the other plants seem to be seeded, even though they are in the same room with a fan going.
Do some hermie plants make seeds without even being pollinated, or did I miss a nanner somewhere that spewed pollen all over my whole crop?
If the latter is true, and the whole crop is going to have seeds, should I just chop them all now, so that the plant doesn't have time to form the seeds? Will there be any bud weight or potency increase if I wait, or will the plants just put all their energy into making seeds.
I guess the most important question is if a hermie plant will make seeds without any actual pollen being released.
Thanks!
