Buds and Fish thanks for the advice.
Just upped to 1mg calmag, 3mg bloom, 1ml power roots/Zym and 1ml green sensation which pretty much full whack as per the plagron feeding schedule.

Ps; found a more of those possible hermie ball sacks on more plants. On the older plants they have wee hairs growing all out of em which to me says they aint hermi at all but fem pre flowera perhaps? Its only the youngest plant that had these https://www.rollitup.org/t/pics-of-potential-hermi.975249/#post-14455404
Would you say they are hermi also?

Buds, i will post up pics tonight but what I'm driving at is.... based on the info this fella...
https://www.dudegrows.com/sexing-pre-flowers-hermies-nanners-sinsemilla-cloning-sex-explained-thecapn/
....uses to identify hermis means i prob have min 1 more plant with these growing out of em.
Bummed to have destroyed one but to do it to more is a kick in my seed sack.

Genetics and grower error (in that order) aka stressing them are listed as reasons for it. Obviously being a fumbling newb has to be one reason for my misfortune but i wonder to what extent do NL autos from expert seeds tend to hermi from a genetics pov? Either way all moot as i sint chancing the dinafem critical and white widow and the remaining nl's.

yeah but you still get people that would charge you 25 for a gram in dublin. id do 3.5 for €50
Ah yeah, everyone wants to maximise their profit no matter what line of business their in, I just cant afford to spend that money as my growing doesnt even keep up with my habbit! Ha

Whatya reckon?
Based on the previous link this kinda qualifies. Not in the "arm pit", bit of a stalk on it and not pointy enough for a fem.

Anyway this was the only suspect in the whole six plants. Took feckin ages to properly search them all. I've removed the suspect sack and will inspect her nightly to see if shes growing more. Would you do as i say or ditch her?

Btw this and the other i fooked out are both expert seeds.

Ps: Buds and Fish mucho thanks for the poke in the right direction about feeding em. They've all benefitted greatly from full whack neut feed.20180907_211541.jpg 20180907_211121.jpgWas just hugely cautious of over feedimg as you read the single greatest noob fook up is overfeeding.

Sounds like you're on the right track, thats what I would do, try save the plants.
What did you do to shock it?

Stress wise only things i can think of Madra is 24hr light cycle and perhaps underfeeding? Temps have been very stable at a mean 25 to 27c.
About the light funny thing is after having researching it plenty growers seemingly use 24hr continious for autos.

As to underfeeding yeah i guess i may have beem somewhat guilty in flower but in saying that at least one plant had "talon leaf tips" indicating overfeeding of N whilst in veg.

Separate that hermie from the others and if you have no way of doing that get rid of em.
Nothing to do with stress that is genetic sloppiness.

Hey Buds. You think its not worth running the risk, even if i search the plant daily? As its budding up i supose it will become impossible to be sure there aren't more sacks developing:(

Intresting what you say about genetics as the two Northern Lights from royal seeds seem to be healthier and less bushy as the expert seeds (hermis) phenos.
The last two plants I've put in are dinafem as i read they have better genetics than most. Do you agree and who do you use mind if i ask?

I have another tent i can put this plant in but it would be in the same room. Would the pollination risk still be an issue?
Also it would be under that viparspectra 300w jobbie which i believe is shite all use for budding as its predominantly a blue veg spec. As i write this i can kinda guess what i should do...

another tent is the best option if you want to keep him/her? No fan or extraction to outside only.
Genetics are a huge part in growing.

Lol i take it thats not morning dew on it, some amount of pixie dust;)

How often would you have a plant hermi on you (if at all) and where do you buy seeds from man? I read this mephisto lad is popular around here and ships from spain. He might be my next port of call.
Also have you ever made hash or concentrate of some kind?

My own seeds, that pic is Galway girl 2.0 the final.
I much prefer green bud to any concentrate.
Galway girl i like it. Is it a hybrid you made by crossing with a male? Cool, what have you bred her to be? I mean type, strength, effects ect?

Just back from my own humble garden and im happy to report things are getting thicker, wee little dark sugary leaves are on the grow and theres a stronger smell. Have to say I'm really digging the whole process. Would like to do an outdoors gorilla grow of a couple plants next season and have been reading up on how best to do that. I know of a couple very off the beaten track spots with water close by i could perhaps use.

Dinafems auto critical 2.0+ is doing well. 23 days old. Buried two bio tabs in its soil there at 19 days old so no more feed except at final flower. Experiment to see does the advice of mcphisto make things easier for me.

The above is a germ'd dinafem auto white widow that was planted this morn. No pre soak of seed and the tap popped out atrong in 36hrs.

And my sickest plant (top pic) is rebounding post increase of feed to full whack. Lot of leaves show damage but its budding up nicely.
