I did 2ml micro/3ml bloom per gallon for veg and 4ml micro/6ml bloom per gal for flower. Equalled like 400-420ppm (Hannah scale) and 600ish for flower. Keep in mind I used tap water, so you may need to adjust depending on your water.
Okay thanks. I'm using my tap water too haven't really tested it to see what's in it don't know how. But I will try that, it's not spreading at all just keep seeing it over and over but looks like the leaves affected are starting to slowly turn brown. It's still only the top bud leaves so don't know why

Get an EC pen. They are pretty cheap on Amazon. They should do EC and PPM.

Here is a video do y'all see nanners I'm not sure if they are or not. Also idk if it's from spraying them in the past all the diff colors or not or over feeding I've lowered my feeding a bit

I know at some point I have to cut some of those leaves off that are dying but they have so many trichomes I don't wanna mess the plant up but I also don't want bud rot

Bud rot starts on the inside of the buds and when you finally see it it's too late for that cola so don't worry about the leaves. could get some fine snips and take them out, let dry then have a taste of what's to come.

I couldn't see any 'nanners in your little video. Might need to fire your cameraman and hire someone with steadier hands. ;) Not that I'm any good at it. :)

They look a lot better than plants do half the time so I'm pretty sure you'll do fine.

:peace:

Snip out the damaged leaves then let then dry for a few days then stick 'em in your pipe and smoke 'em. Do that when you haven't had a toke for a while so you can better tell what effect you are likely going to get once the plant is cropped and cured.

Do a search on PDFdrive.com for 'cannabis' etc for all the grow guides and pot related books you'll never have time to read.

Take a close up pic of what you think is nanners and post it so we can see what your talking about.

also you can do a bunch of things with the leafs you take off. They can be smoked but won’t taste very good so you can use them to make hash or butter but I like to make my butter with buds so it taste good. I hate the taste of leaf.
once you get a couple runs under your belt you will have a nice stock pile of buds to do whatever you want to experiment with.

'Nanners do not have pistils. They are basically the insides of a male flower without the casing a normal male flower has. The pollen making bits that look like a bunch of bananas hence the name.

These are normal male flowers from a Kali Mist I grew ages ago. You can see a tiny bit of pollen on the stem. No pistils anywhere on that plant as it was a full-blown male.

'Nanners are good at hiding in buds so if for sure those are 'nanners pick them off but look all over for them from now on. I give them a spritz of water before plucking out. This prevents the pollen from flying around and also deactivates it so it can't knock up flowers.

I use a variety of different size syringes to measure out my nutes but a good set of tsp measures starting at 1/8tsp will work too. 1tsp=5ml. Tbsp=15ml. Some clear plastic tubing is handy for sucking up stuff.. Farm supply stores or even Princess Auto carry a bunch of different sizes. I got some 14gauge needles from a farm supply for sucking up RSO easier. 10 or 12gauge would be a bigger bore but the 14 works pretty good. I grind the point down so it can suck the last bit out of the beaker and I won't get a needle stick.

I definitely did find some I plucked them off super carefully I didn't see a pile like the picture you showed so that's good they did come in like bunches of 2 and they didn't have the hairs it was just sticking to it

You might be able to find a report for your tap water online. Type "tap water report (your city/state)" in google.

You're going to have to hunt them down for the rest of the grow. A few seeds won't affect a plant but if lots of flowers get pollinated the plants will switch their energies to maturing those seeds and both yield and potency will suffer.

Don't bother saving seeds from hermie plants as most will just grow more hermie plants tho careful selection can breed the hermie trait out. I did that years ago with some Afghani Kush seeds a local guy gifted me from his large grow. The seeds I made from the non-hermie plants all grew fine and I sent seeds to half a dozen people at the time to try out.
