Thanks Muddy.

I have a question that has probably asked & answered a thousand times.
When I was smoking one of the little buds I snipped from it, I heard a pop,
So when i dumped the ash out I looked and there was a seed. and I found another in that same little bud
This plant has never had a male bloom anywhere near it. All the auto males that spouted in box were killed before they even had a chance to come close to flowering.
No insects in the grow box that I have seen. I know there are a few growers within 3 blocks of me as I have smelled their grow when walking past their houses, plus they leave tons of obvious (to those who know) grow trash around.
Do some females produce seed without ever having been around a male or did I somewhere somehow get some male cannabis pollen on me and transfer it?
I am not really worried, just curious.

id like to know this to my one photo plant has 2 seeds growing on the 7th node
 
Pic UpDate. 104 days
1 day shy of 15 weeks above ground
10th week of flower begins tomorrow.
Buds are still getting fatter, and There is definitely a few more of the large lower fan leaves yellowing.
Whole plant pics came out really crappy today, I just couldn't get it together.
So you can't really see the big fan leaves that are yellowing.
I am not worried about them, because I am pretty sure they are on track.
The closeups came out pretty good though!
Something I noticed when smoking the little buds I have been snipping & smoking green. The effect was pretty mild but noticeable when "fresh green", but one of them that I had let dry for 3 days was way more potent. I have just been clipping them as needed in order to give them more "cooking time" to get more potency. But I am thinking that may have been the wrong approach now. Does curing make a substantial difference in potency even on early cut buds? Or was that bud that seemed stronger, just really stronger, nothing to do with curing for a few days?

gtron, those are some fabulous looking buds. :drool: I have found the same thing as you with the sample buds. When green I seem to get a similar 'sparkly' high that doesn't last too long, but after a few days drying it's much closer to what the final product will be like. I stick the buds on top of the fridge in my garage and the warmth seems to draw out quite a bit of moisture in a couple of days. Or as a compromise I'll put the green ones in my MFLB and draw out some of the water vapor that way. Then again, I'm a nut for curing and unless I'm jonesing bad I try to never smoke anything that hasn't been in a cure jar for close to a month. :D
 
Looking great, buds are getting nice and fat and love the red coming into the pistols. At 10 weeks and the fan leaves just starting to yellow, sounds like another 3 weeks or so. Being that it's taking that long it must be a sativa or sativa dominant. I also agree, properly cured bud always gives a better high.

The fattening continues.
Some pistils going red, but she is still throwing out a lot of white pistils.
Went by my friends house that provided the buds the seed came from, he was pretty impressed by the pics I showed him, but was totally surprised by how long I have had them in flower and that they still aren't finished.
Anyway, under the microscope trichs are just starting to get milky here and there, mostly clear though.
I got a few decent pics.

Pic Update. 111 Days.
Tomorrow is the beginning of 16 weeks.
I am seeing some noticeable change in the pistils being mostly off white to becoming more of a tan with a fair amount going completely red.
Since I look at them every day it is hard to notice them getting bigger unless it is dramatic. I think they are still swelling, it just isn't dramatic over the last week.
What do you all think?
If you look close you can see the lower fan leaves are yellowing, not all of them but quite a few.
She gets fed 1/2 gallon @ 1.25 strength of ff "week12" every 3 days. Today was a feeding.
Is it time to switch to straight H2O ? If so, just keep it at 1/2 gallon every 3 days? or go for the big flush?
Pics came out ok today.
Time to go look at some of the "wonders" on the beach. I love spring break!

What beautiful pics, gtron! I'd probably squeeze in another feeding before flushing. Looks like you've still got plenty of green fan leaves to carry it for a while. Do you have a scope to check the trichs with?
