Curious about this problem? Nute burn, overwater, pests?

This plant i haven't really payed attention to much its been growing for about 3 months in bad soil outside and soon as i noticed its a hermie i just left it alone. (autumn/winter here so raining a lot)

Though, As i am still learning to grow i would like to know what is causing this problem so i can protect plants in future.

Its been raining almost daily, ive been feeding with some kelp/molasses/wormjuice mix in water every 3-5 days.

I also applied some foliar spray of baking soda/neem/peppermint/rosemary/aloe vera 100% juice (all small amounts mixed in a 1L sprayer) I notice white powdery stuff/mold so i though this would help :S

Multiple things make a plant go herm, mainly genetics or stress, I've even saw the red led from a extension on lights off make a plant produce balls, you can use colloidal silver 2 Hermie a plant 2 make femd seeds

Thanx for the tip.. I always thought hermies produce fem seeds anyway.

However i am aware of that the plant was a hermie and it was healthy until last few weeks started to turn bad.. I'm just wondering why is it looking so bad lately or what caused it. Or how can i help it heal?

I've done wwxbb before where every plant on the tray hermied, after some research I found the bb strains are mag hungry, so, I done round 2 with a sprinkle of Epsom salts at start of veg&flower, they blossomed into nice ladies.

Me mate makes his own seeds, 1 of his plants hermied+made its own seeds, every single seed it produced was a Hermie seed, its either genetics or environment why it hermies

That's exactly why some people don't like femd seeds, coz somewhere down the line a female plants been stressed 2 produce male balls, the pollen off that plant is used on another female and the result is femd seeds, with more chance of it hermieing because of what happened to its mother/grandmother/dad(genetics)

Yeah thought it kinda did was all organic :S and i added a tiny bit of Organic dishwashing soap.. Maybe i put in 2 much baking soda cause i only put 2 drops of each essential oils and 1/2 teaspoon of neem 10ml aloe juice 1-2ml of soap and maybe 3/4 teaspoon of bakin soda all blend up and put into 1L sprayer.

Juju, empty the contents of that bottle and never use it again. Yes, what you added have good effects but all together like that, no. Aloe vera on ya weed plants? You must grow some funky tasting bud

I've been reading some pro organic growers and they use aloe vera/coconut water once in a while has many many benefits for the plants and lots of good anti's.

Yeah i am looking into some tea's now thanx :) also when should you start spraying with silver or is it 2 late? I don't really care much for this plant just left it to collect some seeds but yeah it seemed to be getting owned by pests or mold so i messed up :P

If its in flower go 4 it mate, just make sure 2 catch the balls of pollen before they pop and the plant self pollinates itself or the seeds will be guaranteed hermie.

Ahh i see :P
I also have been using this is it the same as kelp meal? Its for human consumption so i though it would be ok for plants.

Oh and when feeding plants nutes or homemade tea do i have to check the PH?

I remember i tried a homemade tea and the PH was at 8.5 i didn't know if it needed some PH down or Vinegar or something since it was organic tea thought it would be ok.

But this was done on other plants a while ago didn't notice anything though :S

The more stuff you add the higher the ec goes, the more salts in the liquid, I hope your only spraying in the dark because if your doing it through the day youll get salt burns on the leafs

Yeah true nah i've only sprayed at night weather is shit here anyway for sunburn.

I made some homemade tea the other day with 50ml worm juice/kelp/molasses/epsom salts about 1 teaspoon each in 1 gallon water and i read the PH it says 7.4 should i use some vinegar to lower it to 6.5 or since its organic should be ok? Water is half rain water half tap water.
