Team Green Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Growing Purple Afghan Kush, just heading into week 8 and there's some bananas showing in the top buds in one of the plants... Should I panic and crop em, or wait it out... Got 3 strains on the go and 12 plants in all... Was gonna try and push em til 8 n half weeks.. I've read about others having similar issues, and that they fire blanks... (words to that effect) Can anyone confirm, or deny this about this strain? Thanks in advance! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samhigh Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I haven't experienced this with the pak but some have its the plants last ditch effort to pollinate itself they are usually sterile. if you can check the trichs she may be ready, but I haven't heard of anyone letting them go a little longer having any problem and i have heard of some people taking them off 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charas Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Pull the nannas off. They are probably sterile- but I'd pull them off anyway. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinafem-Mark Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Hello mate sorry to hear that this is happening. This can occur late into bloom if your temps get to high or serious stress is caused but can happen also when conditions are perfect as it could be the plants last ditch attempt at reproduction I would say yes the male flowers showing will be none viable (sterile) I would still go around with some tweezers or pliers and pull out the showing male flowers to make 100% Sure that your crop does not seeds. Saying this How long do you have left about 5-7 days? What have temps been like? All the best Mark.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Green Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 A bit high in all honesty... This weather's really nuking the shed up.. It's only on the 1 plant seemingly so.. It's chocca block in there at the minute so, difficult to negotiate amongst the foliage.. Still looking nice tho! It's the best plant as well..Just been in with the magic tweezers.. Hopefully there hasn't been any major pollination.. Everything looks pretty sweet around it... Just have to stay vigilant.. Must be the only one wishing for some cool air at the moment locally.. How long on average does the Pak go? 50 days I'm on, and they're looking like I could crop em any day now(Judging by pistils). But the TGA Grape Inferno lagging a bit behind.. My grow space is also my dry space... Thanks for the replies tho folks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tete Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I had the same problem with pak. I put mine down to heat stress or maybe light leaks due to where I was growing at the time. I pulled off what I could and I never found any seeds. In my experience it didn't affect the final product,still a top notch smoke! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucketboi Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I took two PAK's down two days ago and they went about 55 days. I usually leave them till about 60 days but had to move mid grow so it was easier to chop than move the big darlings. The last week or so they rally turn on the purple and I grow by mother plant and clones 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tete Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I have had to relocate some monster plants before and it can get very intense trying to conceal them.  I'd love to be smoking some right now!  Ran out a while ago,but i have just put two into flower so it won't be too long before I have a few jars full. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinafem-Mark Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 @Team GreenI think the excessive heat could be the culprit mate as it has been a good couple of weeks of really nice weather. By the sound of things the issue is not to bad and Imo you have done the right thing by removing the male flowers eventough in 99% confident they would have been sterile Typically pak is 60-65 days to totally finish. I would say 7-10 more days mate then chop time Do you have a microscope to check trichome colour and development? All the best Mark.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea mate I stressed myself silly driving around during the day with all my shit in a car. The old double box works pretty good but had jitters by the time I got to the new place. I love watching them change colour at about week 4 and 5. They sure are the ugly duckling that evolve into something special 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tete Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 All fun tho buddy. Definitely an ugly duckling, but it's all part of the charm with pak I suppose. I'm looking forward to watching them flower having some colourful nuggets again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
