Hoping this guide into how not to grow weed can help new growers out there. Buy good seeds!
Soo, the fan broke as a result of too much shit. The capacity was totaly blown. Today is the day I've feared, been told would come, had nightmares about and at the same time knew was probalby coming; suppressed it; played with fire - got burned! The inevitable happend.. Found a localy brown area of pistils on a bud retracting back into the calyxes, opend the bud up and BAM there were two nanners deep in. Started poking around and 10/15 plants got this by first deep bud search, after a while my inner strenght faded like a needled popped balloon, so for all i know they're all Ladyboys. I can only blame myself tho. My dog feels my energy and keeps a safe distance today.
Okay. No more time to feel sad for myself. Allways been smokin pot with seeds tho. Can this problem be minimized? If so, how?Comment

Good point Green
There should be plenty to keep me through to next round. And the best part is: My money don't end up in the hands of a international crime syndicate. I hate those guys. Aaaand i'll get to plant soo many seeds outside wherever i go 
Can i go 9/15 to speed things up? -
what sound does shit make when it hits the fan( MARIIINE)least that what the squids used to say lol at least you sense of humor is ok. had a ballast go a couple of grows ago dam what a pain. The experiences Ive had with Hermies. uv t5 will cause them if left on 12/12, but they gifted me with some great seeds(witch are usually female) I have some growing now. I havn't had any hermie seeds that Iv'e grown rehermie(if that makes since haha)maybe this will give some hope to a grow gone bad(could be a movie tittle Rouge grow gone bad) haha . keep the faith and you'll make it( the faith being start with good seed and you"ll end with good bud) the Pictures are fantastic though

Setting:
-Freaking out over the sexual madness going on in my garden.
-Pink Floyd and Zeppelin LPs spinning
-Blazing up cured fanleafs like theres no tomorrow building down the blood level in my THC circulation system.
-Crazy and alone in the middle of nowhere.
-Mania? CHECK.
-Discussing verbaly with my dog about the state of the garden.
This is some of the things we came up with the last 10 days.
First of, doing nothing is not how we roll.
Second, water de-activates pollen.
After letting those conclusions marinate in our commonly shared counsiousness; a plan emerged. It invovled water, pointy sissors, and a small hand held fan that runs on a small solar panels. Man you should hear that thing ounder 1200W HPS.
Anyways,we got to work. My dog allways watches me work, he's kinda passive and mostly observes - or occationaly takes a sip of the run-off even tho we've talked about that on several occations..
The Work
So. Dipped the made-for-cannabisplant sissor in water and cut out a banana even tho most pollen is released allready, After cutting the nanner out I localy spray with water where it used to be, followed by drying with the hand held solar fan. First spraying all locations on a plant before drying with fan. After doing so to all affected plants we went back to the first and did another round.
Conclusion
Happy with the effort put in. Sure they are polinated and still sooo.... beautiful... Not sure about the quality of the product tho, will see in some weeks.
There's alot of mistakes I won't repeat next round.
By the way, found a lower arm with 4 fanleafs at each node!Comment

They've all reacted so different to all the stress put upon them, it shaped them into individuals. That result in different taste, smell, high, seed ammount ratio. And its fun organizing! So they'll be in seperate graves post mortem to give everyone the individual exam they deserve.Comment

Yhelloooo fellow growers! Turned light timer 10/14 to finish this seed factory headacke before i leave on the 6th. Got a bit cooler and damp than on 12/12 with 14hours off, and the plant furthest away from the heater had to put on the anthocyanin antifreeze turing some leafs black, so thats kinda cool. Some of the longest colas are almost 2ft! Possibly full of seeds tho.. Few plants are about to drop their seeds allready and I think and hope I atleast slowed down the polination, others plants seem less "seedy" but gotta look inside... Will be putting them in dirt everywhere i go so that it's a green trail after me with a time delayed release. Also put a herm in a southern window 3 weeks ago and it seems to be enjoying it there bulking a tad on sunny days, for sure autoflower seeds so i guess overkilling it with 10 hour days in the growroom. Just wanna finish this up now getting tired of all the work it takes to do the cut-spray-dry routine cus the nanners doesn't take the day off. Just wanna start over and do it propperly.Comment

Seed factory update
Okay so most of em respect the sissor water fan treatment and gave in, while others just got furious with raging nanners popping out again and again. So took 4 branches off this morning, sprayed them before cutting. First of all i wanna know the seed/bud ratio, and secondly the cured fanleafs ran out a few days ago and I refuse to buy stuff thats originates from internatinal cartels. .
Was much easier to check the trichomes with the hand held 100x when it wasn't attached to the plant, about 10% trichomes on calyxes are cloudy with a few single dark scatted randomly. Trimmed off fan leafs and everything without trichomes and put it in the oven on 120F for about 2 hours, took it out, glassed it for 2 hours, the moisture redestributed cut off stem and gave them 45 min more in the oven and it was ready..Burned poorly with black ash, had to blend it with tobacco to get it going right and MAAAN did i get immobilized!! It hit me in the face like Muhammed Ali, was totaly stunned, mind blown mental couch lock with heart pounding in the chest, felt like it was a dream, coordination down the drain haha it was just like smoking for the first time!! Read about Black leafed cannabis today and some of the strongest psycadelic strains are black, link at the bottom. With 10% trichomes cloudy and rest clear, not my kind of high that's for sure. Keep in mind the the stuff on the streets here is bone-dry and rock-hard donkey-SHit from Africa. I'm not used to potent pot. Guess it will be a more comfortable high in a couple of weeks and with additional weeks on glass.
Samples
Most per 1g - 30 seeds - 0.3g
Least per 1g - 11 seeds - 0.1g
I've seen worse

I doubt it's any comfort, but those are some really nice looking seeds!
The time when you harvest makes a HUGE difference in the effects. When you harvest early it tends to be more "speedy" and have a more psychedelic effect, which it sounds like it did for you. If you wait until the trichomes are all cloudy with some amber trichomes, you get much more relaxing buds. Curing for a few weeks makes them even more smooth!

Setting
-Finaly back on the couch with my mouth partialy open after clocking in 74hours last week.
-Second round of quality assurance procedures implemented in accordance to previous risk assessment of April 18th.
-Deep Purple ----> Machine Head LP spinning for a smooth transition from active to passive lifestyle. Will follow up with Stones and probably end up with Rush
-Inner monologues about nutrients, flushing and the 10/14 light cycle. Questions spawning.
Thoughts
After changing the lightcycle to 10hour days things started to happend rapidly, looking more and more ripe everyday; hoping they won't finish too soon. Leaves starting to turn yellow and flower growth seem to be slowing down. When the incident with too much heat made plants drink too much and getting nitrogen claw in the middle of flowering, I cut back on the N. This week the problem caught up, light leaves moving upwords and some plants got pale surgarleavs aswell.. Gave them what i THINK is the last nutrient dose today and added a small dose of N.
Sampling
Ready for the experience, totaly stoked that I can discover weed again! It's like a new drug because what I'm used to smoking is of very poor quality. Between 50-70% cloudy trichomes on top colas lower buds a bit behind. Took a lower branch from the same plant as last time, got to mature a bit closing up on 50% cloudy. Amazed how sticky it is with trichomes everywhere. Inside. ounder leaf. STOKED! Still burning slowly, black ash and a bit rough on the lungs but the effect was there for sure. Reconing flushing will help with getting that ash white and improving the taste. Was laughing at stupid comercials and constantly forgetting what i was doing, spun off with guitar improv and created some cool stuff that only exsisted in that moment of time. More enjoyable high allready. And I was braced for the intensity this time.
-5-15 seeds per gram, can't BELIEVE there aren't more seeds!! And they're small aswell compared to other i've encountered. The big lottery is checking the status inside colas.. Time will show.
Questions
-I do not want to move plants at all with the nanner problem, is it possible to only give fresh PHed water for the last 2 weeks without runoff instead of flushing the normal way?
-How far away from finish would trained eyes forsee? Will add individual pictures at the bottom
-If they finish before the 5th, can I cut the main cola off and lower the light to match the height of lower buds letting them mature abit? Would also open for splitting up the trim job into two sessions..
Wow that was quite the rambling. 1 joint 5 hours later and finaly landing and finishing this post.
Cheers and tokes!Comment

Godallmighty that first image is beyond classic. Crop it to square and send it to to GWE for trophy pic of the week. It would make a fabulous t shirt to say the least X!

Your words are so kind! Greatful for the input Tika, submited a few just now The "hipster" movement is huge where I'm from, people making beer in their basements, sauerkraut in the kitchen and growing potatoes on balconies etc., preferably in a major city at the 10th floor or higher. This has resulted in a psychiatric category for these who doesn't get the attention and approval of their hard work and dedication, and all your positive feedback cured me before this condition even occured! Thank you

without aa close up to see the trichs I cant tell if there is amber in there, I like to see about 30% before I start flushing . I have to say what a great post read the entire thing with all the comments glad to hear your enjoying the smoke . I asked Nebula if I cut the main cola would the smaller ones fill out she said yes so I was going to try it this grow. from this point on you will never have to smoke poor weed again

1.) If you don't want to move the plant at all, you could do that and it would be okay If you live near a Home Depot they also sell a Bucket Head for about $20 (it's more expensive online, but only $20 if you get it at Home Depot in person). You can attach it to any 5-gallon bucket (which they also sell for $5) and have an instant wet vacuum. That's how I removed the runoff under my plants so I didn't have to move them. I'd just suck up all the water with the wet vac
2.) It looks like all the buds I could see still have plenty of straight white pistils, which means they need at least a few weeks left (but that's awesome because it means they're still going to get a lot bigger)! Are there any buds where most of the white pistils have already darkened and curled in?
3.) Yes, lots of growers harvest their plants in parts! It can make things a lot more convenient and with some strains it's very common for either the top or the bottom buds to be ready to harvest before the rest of the plant

Thank you for the tip Nebula, that's brilliant Can't get my hands on a vaccum pump in time but it's on next rounds shopping list! Yea there are mostly darkened curled up pistils but the camera light illuminates and tweaks picture color a bit, will focus on thrichomes, more and more cloudy every day. And if parts finish before 5th I'll now know it's doable with a sequenced harvest. By the way, should the wound be coverd with for example ductape?

If you see a big wound that looks like it needs to be covered up, it can't hurt, but overall I don't think that would be necessary
