they are false seed pods i didnt realise your plants had already sexed and were flowering otherwise this would of been easier to tell you what they were
female mate dont sweat it
yeh as Skotty said, they are just the calyxs from the first preflowers that have become larger.
flushing in hydro doesnt take as long as it does in soil mate you can easily do a 5 day flush and get a nice result,
the start of the flush depends on how you like your smoke if you want a head high start the flush when the trichs are 70% cloudy and if you like a mix of head and body stone flush when the trichs are 70% cloudy and 30% amber and so on
if you listen to what the breeders recommend and harvest when they say the plant is ready this is gonna be no where near the potential that the plant has to offer
it is true to say that plants can be harvested within the breeders said amount of time but for maximum effect look at the trichs and decide for yourself when to havest, there is no point spending all that time growing and cutting the plants 2 early you want them at their peak potency
if i remeber correctly the auto assain is the sativa leaning mi5 strain and if its anything like the mi5 i had then she is a very fruity smoke indeed and enjoyable, i look forward to a smoke report on her
im amazed you got so many plants in your tent in hydro and not run into problems because i know the size they can get being grown this way, a smaller res on your deimoses was always gonna cause problems especily with 2 plants in there id even go as far to say that 8ltr res would only just hold 1 plants root system
anyways i wish you all the best with you harvest and if you need any advice just hola
peace
I grew Auto Assassin outside. I didnt feed it much and I used regular earth to grow it in a five gallon bucket. I just generally mistreated them. It was still good smoke. Imagine if I had given her optimum conditions? I think you will be happy. I had one that didnt auto. I have looked and I appear to be the only one that has had an issue. The one that didnt auto turned out to be great smoke for me. I will do an indoor grow on the one that didnt auto (cuttings) in a good medium this Jan. Good job on yours and I am subscribed.
I nearly made the same mistake with the fast buds thinkin they were balls when indeed they were only false seed pods filling , shows you what a difference DWC and 20 hrs light does to the fast bud !! looking good i done mine in soil and only 12/12 (had reg strains in) its a real nice smoke i thought , really stinky
Heres a wee bit o fast budporn for ya
if you want a cheap microscope here's a link..... i have the 100x hand held one and it does the trick .... your grow really has come on since the last time i looked ... the fast buds are best left till the trichs are cloudy and amber of fully amber if you can get the ratio right without over doing them ... http://www.maplin.co.uk/Search.aspx?criteria=100x+microscope
