    Hermie late in flowering?

    Wasn't from stress, it just is what it is. All that stuff about stress this and that, look at the plant the wrong way it herms etc, seriously forget about it! Forget about hermies, nanners, bananas, balls, stamen, anthers, or whatever you want to call them, being your fault. It's not because of...

    Rusting leafs?

    You sure only 96 extra ppm with nutes? That's not a lot of nutes! If that's the ppm you've been giving all along, no surprise you've got deficiency symptoms imho. It's the droop that gets me though, you might be overwatering as well. If you're watering those buckets more often than every few...

    What happens if a photoperiod gets root bound in veg

    In my own experience, no. You get a tall plant with little branching. If a plant's been rootbound awhile it'll be obvious.

    What happens if a photoperiod gets root bound in veg

    Grows taller and spindly, longer nodes, less leaves, cannibalizes lower leaves to compensate for top/new growth. Same as above. It's really only a thing in small pots. Depends very much on your substrate and grow method too. Hydroponics pot size doesn't matter nearly as much in the right...

    Hermie?

    A monoecious plant isn't really female at all. Shouldn't be considered female. "Female" plants cannot reproduce on their own and are categorized as dioecious. (same as males) And far as intersex goes, all hermaphrodites are monoecious, but not all monoecious plants are hermaphrodites if that...

    WTF causes leaves to look like this? Fungal infection??

    Not much, just a good trickle out the pot. More if using nutes. I don't know for sure. Photos don't scream overwatering. But things like leaf loss day after water and the amount of water you're giving vs pot size do. Said it yourself, think it might be overwatering. If you think you are, then...

    WTF causes leaves to look like this? Fungal infection??

    Sorry, I've read through the thread, but missed the said reply, my bad. I think you're/your partner is overwatering myself. Seems more and more like it. Chronic overwatering. I recommend watering to runoff. Better ensures proper soil saturation and leaches unwanted silts or dissolved solids...

    WTF causes leaves to look like this? Fungal infection??

    Had you done anything just beforehand, watered, fed, anything? Usually when something happens that fast it's our own input, something we've recently done. Could be something there, succulent mix would have better drainage, generally. Describe how you've been watering. Pot should be a lot...

    Yellowing start of week 5 flower?

    Probably wouldn't be too concerned. Watch it doesn't start to spread. Looks like a couple other leaves are starting to show a bit, so keep a careful eye. That's a small pot for the plant's size. Coco coir? I'd be feeding more than once per day with plenty runoff. (10-20% pot volume in runoff...

    Droopy plant dry leaves in coco. Not looking happy.

    That doesn't seem substantial enough for the pot size you have. You need a couple litres in waste/runoff in a pot that size, every watering or feeding. Keep your watering solution the same at 1.2 EC and check the runoff EC next watering, I suspect it'll be high. In the event it is, you can...

    Calcium deficiency?

    Calcium's immobile in the plant, meaning new growth is affected first, it's not calcium deficiency. Keep it up with nutrient from now, plenty runoff, you should be good. You need an EC meter if you haven't one already.

    Is this a herm

    If you really, really want to there's no harm in trying! If you can afford the money and time vs potential loss and really want the genetics, why not? Only thing is, chances are, you'll get more hermaphrodite plants. I might consider crossing it with something else, then going on a hunt for...

    They dont look good

    You're doing fine! Best thing about this hobby, always learning. If I may, you still have weeks to go looking at your pictures. Leave checking trichomes until the plant's filled out nice and barely, if any, white pistils. You've got a ton of new growth in the buds there, be patient. It's all...

    They dont look good

    Difficult to believe letting the soil dry too far would really do such a thing. Droop from no water, sure, but lockout and deficiency etc is likely from something else imo. In my own experience lack of water is usually a quick fix and they perk back to full health within minutes, can almost...

    Possible deficiecny 2nd grow

    It's definitely a handy tool to have, takes a lot of the guess work out. I recommend getting one for sure. Best investment I've ever made in this hobby is a Blue Lab Combo. Even if you can't afford one, it's worth forking out for one imo. I looked @ the FF Trio feed chart. Notice the total EC...

    Possible deficiecny 2nd grow

    Looks like a hungry plant to me. Magnesium, potassium, maybe nitrogen too. Might just need to bump the nutes up a bit, if you say you're at half and you're going feed / water / feed / water. Do you know your EC? That would give a good indication.

    What is going on with this?

    Hardly organic using Advanced 3-part + additives, just saying. That's not necessarily true. Plants will thrive up to 7.5 and 8 isn't that far out of range. You can deal with it and looks as if the plants have been. Looks good overall. I'd worry more about input pH whilst using nutes. Tbh...

    What is going on with this?

    Water won't work, soil's buffered. You need something like sulphur. That's why I suggest peatmoss. I don't suggest using straight sulphur, or anything else like that. Though some peatmoss won't hurt and might bring the pH down some. No, do not do that. That's not how it's supposed to be used...

    What is going on with this?

    Try top dressing some peatmoss. Might bring it down a little bit after a couple waterings. I wouldn't go throwing a bunch of stuff at it trying to bring it down, will do more harm than good. You can get away with 7.5 more important is your input pH. Half strength nutes, it's probably buildup...

    Whats going on with these?

    I think plain water once, see how it goes. That's a lot of inputs for your nutrient solution, I believe you can get away with the 3-part alone, the others are just extras. Sometimes less is more. Yeah, that's plenty, I think. If you have any nutrient buildup you'll have a better guess once you...
