sounds like you over watered them a bit. every day is probably unnecessary... what size pots are they in? I'm using 1gal pots and I water every 3rd or 4th day. temps are mid 80s with lights on. humidity is 35-40%

The best possible advice i can give you is DO NOT over water the plants water them and leave them for 3 days and feel how heavy the pots are and take note of it and then water again and in 2-3 days check how much they weigh.. looks like your using some 8 inch pots so id prob only feed them a cup and a half to 2 cups of water every 3 days or depending on how there drinking and its evaporating use more. Also in an instant you can over nute these plants so be sure u are only feeding them 1/4 of what the package says and only every 7 days or so.. also your soil has nutes in it so by over watering these ladies you are also going to over nute them as well you can foliar feed but use even a smaller dose of nutes then root feeding untill u see what happens and make sure ur lights are not blasting while the leafs are wet. Other then be patient a sad plant doesnt mean a thirsty plant that plant could go 2 weeks without water seeing how much uve watered allready..

anyways there you go goodluck

I can't say what it is but if you have been doing a full eater daily, that would be the first thing to control. As hard as it may be, let then dry out. Then see what happens. The nutes could be contributing as well. That is all a function of dose and I am ignorant. I use a weed known brand, ease into their dose, and do what they say. If I were you I wouldn't add any for now. But that is gut opinion.

As suggested, I water every third day religiously because I know my tendency to overdue things.

pollen from the mail can get on your hands/clothes/shoes etc then pollinate the females then youre done for so to speak lol. just not worth the risk IMO.. why do you want to cut off the fan leaves? that's your "powerplant".. also, why do you want to keep the male?
