Hello Uncle Ben,
I see you have a lot of post to reply to, I have or had at some point during this grow almost all the problems you have addressed in your original post. First off im growing random bag seed which is pretty unpredictable. My main issue is with my "tall plant" it is 10 weeks into flowering has tons of milky trichomes and none of the hairs (pistils) are red which i think is odd. As I have grown 2 other times indoors and outdoors. Also i just found one male flower on one of the smaller buds which means I could be flowering too long? I have three plants 10 weeks into flowering. The tallest one has large calyxes looks kinda sativa (as i know the term) and has shown THC since like week 4. She then had nutrient burn or something, leaves curling. I had to go away for 2 weeks during weeks 4-6 of flowering and had a buddy of mine take care of my plants. He didnt do a very good job as I had 6 and 3 went hermy. The other two plants one of which is showing a decent amount of THC and has small-medium calyxes. The last plant of mine the largest as far as amount of bud just started showing THC at week 9 and a half. The 2 i just mentioned just started recovering from what i believe was a PH problem and nutrient lock out. There leaves started to get very cripsy and turned to dust when i touch them. Even the leaves in the buds.
Now I know they are in only 1 and 1/2 gallon pots. I think this may be the cause, but I do not know. I have to water every day. Do you think my entire growth may be stunted due to the small pots? The plants do drink the water i feed them PH'd at like 6.3-6.6. I am thinking the plants probably suffer from heat stress caused by hot spots from the HPS.
Here are some pictures from 2 weeks ago, the plants have changed a great deal actually much more TH, but I believe they are recovering from nutrient burn/lockout and maybe to much caclium. I think i compounded the problem by givin the plants to much epsom salts and dolo lime. I have viewed the trichomes on each with a pocket microscope. The 2 in the back seem almost done if not done already. I know the stress and problems i have must of added some weeks onto the flowering.
"sigh I always over do the correction of plants problems and end up with even more problems" I
Here are some pictures. The front plant is the "largest one with small calyxes and just started showing THC." The one behind it is the "medium" plant that showed the most crisping. The one in the white pot is the "tallest or one with no red hairs yet and most visible THC".
Anyway since I dont really know how long flowering was suppose to take and I am not sure what kind of strains I have anyway you can tell if i should keep going? Take into account the "tall one" is reallly frosty now.
Any input you can give me about what I did wrong I would appreciate.
Ill try to get some more recent pictures for you. My dang camera's battery wont charge.
Thanks
