Seed question

this morning i found seeds in my blueberry girl and im wondering how will the seeds effect: THC content, taste, weight, yield, and if the seeds mature the same time the buds ripen.

hi GotTheBlues :wave:
- THC content should remain,,, (many female plants produce a few seed during the later stages of bloom).
- taste, weight, yield will be changed...
- seed take 14-40 days to mature...

peace dL :joint:

Thanks for the info, I found a few male flowers and pinched them off. I think I need to invest in a darkroom vent so I won't get another hermi. I got sour bubble and blueberry in the same chamber, does that mean the seedss in the sourbubble will be a blueberry x sourbubble if use those seeds
 
they wont necessarily be a cross between bb and sb, it depends on what plant the flowers were on. A weed plant can self pollinate so you might have sb x sb.

if there are male flowers on both species its basically impossible to determine where they came from.

the only flowers i found were on the blueberry
If that remains the case, then any seeds found on the SB will be a nice cross.
Keepers I'd say!! Mixed genetics....much better than inbreeding.
Do you have some light leaks into your grow?

I have abused a number of sour bubble girls with light and no hermies. Actually trying to get them to hermie. Worked on a few others but the SB is quite stout in that area
 
Yeah man, if you only found male flowers on one then seeds must be from that plant.

You've got something absolutely worth keeping, if you can prod one so that you can see it but tis still growing attached to the plant (ie, peel the calyx back a tiny bit so you can see the seed) wait till they're black and pick them off, you will likely have seeds of all different stages of ripeness as your plants are continuously producing a few male flowers.

from what i understood,

haveing seeds reduces not much thc at all, slightly yeild.

Deprive a flower of pollen an it will get bigger in attempt to collect it, like a solar pannel.

twas what i read on OG anyway.
seeds arent a bad deal, but i think your seeds will have a herm dendency

Since I have both seeded and non seeded plants growing I figured I would chime in. The potency is not lost in buds with seeds. What happens is the buds just about stop growing, so that the plant can switch its energy to producing seeds.In the end you lose only grams of bud, but if you had grown a pack of Rez. Sour Diesel IBL and seeded the whole garden you would not care about potency. You be thinking 10,000 or so IBL seeds????? boy you would be set on diesel for ever. :wave:

the way i have it setup is my fan blows a flap open when the lights turn on and gravity pulls it down when the fan turns off with the lights. I run my lights durring the day and try not to turn my lights on at night to keep light leak at a minimum. The blueberry is in front and sour bubble in back so the blueberry gets the light leak when there is some. I have a door but never put it on because im lazy. I have been pinching off all male flowers and balls but most seeds are white and the calyx has already begun to split
the light leak is minimal if any.
heres the sour bubble

and the blueberry


thanks for all th info everyone

I would say selective cloning, clone the branches where there was no male parts, and keep on doing it generation after generation. That's what I would try but I didn't have enough money to buy a dome for my clones and none look like they are going to make it so I guess its a good thing I got seeds.
