Week 9 flowering

[Aussiestoner1987]

Here is my 1st grow,

Coming up to week 9, getting very smelly and sticky, huge buds. Any tips. I’m pretty much just watering it once a week ( usually also rains once a week). No more feeding.

7.5 mths total grow time now

They look pretty darn good for outdoors in Oz. I know you can get some tough growing conditions. You have a few weeks to go. Watch them like a hawk for bud rot.

It looks like you either hermed or there was a male around. This looks like a seed.

What made you stop feeding them mid swell?

No males around at all, figured it was close to harvest so started flushing.

Flushing for better tasting bud has been debunked. Check out the 4th link in my signature for the information backing that.

I still see fresh white pistils so that tells me another week or two. The best way to tell is by looking at the trichomes.

I have a “time to harvest” writeup too that’s helpful in determining the high you’re wanting to achieve.

Really no need to flush, doesn't accomplish anything. All you end up doing is starving your plants when they need nutrients to grow big bigger buds. My guess is you're looking at least 3 weeks if not more. All the pistils should be brown, the trichomes cloudy with some amber. I don't see the the seed issue, looks like fat caylxes to me (but I've got old eyes).

So should I resume my feeding. Was just doing fortnightly feeds of Liquid potash and a seaweed concentrate

I would.

Just found a small amount of rot on a bud so removed the whole stem

I’d be willing to bet if you split that open you’d find a seed.
