END OF WEEK 12
END OF WEEK 7 FLOWER

Plants have hermied late in flower due to heat stress I think.

Took plants out today to have a good look at trichromes, looking way off maybe 50% milky. (I'm new to this though and it's hard for me to gauge).

Temps have been sitting at 28-30c / RH45%

Can anyone advise on the best course of action.

Doing a search and some people are saying Just continue and quite common for this to happen late in flower...

Others are saying Harvest now... ??

BALLS EVERYWHERE! I tried to remove one but they are so soft and I squished it.

Best cause of action is to carry on & forget about this thread as all I am seeing is swollen calyx - but no balls

Okay thanks!

I thought the swollen calyxs were the balls. Only noticed about an hour ago so been in a bit of a panic.

Concerned that only 50% milky trichromes and if hermied THC is only gonna degrade.

Many new growers make the same mistake mate

For anybody reading this in the future:

"swollen calyx's mean that the plant has filled out to maturity with at least decent conditions.....if your nugs were full of oddly formed and mutated looking calyx's you would have a problem."

Lol! Glad you came for help man! Some people kill perfectly good crops because they think callyxs are balls.

I know mate, me too! Always my first port of call when I'm lost!

Only a week shy of three months and bud isn't anywhere near prime potency judging by trichromes.
To have a disaster at this stage would be sickening.
