Thanks for the info lads.
I have a box of epsom salts at home. Any idea how much per litre i should add.
They same thing happened to me about a year ago.
It started slowly but by the 6th week of flower leaves just started falling off.
Only time will tell :eyesmoke:
Is it regular epsom salts or stuff for the bath?
You'll get that late in flowering when they're using up the last of the N and some strains are worse than others at least in my experience anyway

Its regular salt. I read somewhere Biobizz products have very low amounts of it.
I gave them a foliar feed yesterday. When the light comes on tonight i hope to see improvement.

@Cloudiology

I bought 5 seeds from Dutch Passion before. None popped. I emailed them. They asked me to take pics and they sent me out another 5 pack with an apology.
Try it :)

I grew auto ak47 and out of a 10 pack I only got 5 to survive, all of them popped but 5 were were so badly deformed there was no saving them, the smoke was killer though but it took almost 120 days from seed to harvest so not much difference than photo-period but a noticeably less yield., again it depends on the breeder and the stability of the genetics so IMO it's pot luck.

I thought about this maybe being a good idea to use on feminized genetics.

Says to use it with transport. Transport also combats bugs, and mold. ;D

I would think using that spray it ought to be the same with warding off bugs and mold. Use it before those things ever have a chance to get established.

As far as I know all feminized seeds have a higher chance to turn hermi.
Its still not 100% chance for all females, but a higher chance.
Pretty sure they are feminized by taking a female plant and stressing it till it turns hermi.
Then taking the pollen from that hermi and breeding it to another female.
Feminized seeds because it was made from two female plants.
But all the plants grown from feminized seeds have a disposition to stress and going hermi.
So knowing this, and when I happened to notice a post here I figured any of you feminized
seed growers might be interested in using switch as a type of insurance/preventative measure.
The description even says, This product is a MUST if you know you have varieties that hermaphrodite!
I suppose there might be other varieties that are prone to hermi too but that's what came to mind.

If it went hermi, I'm thinking you could breed it and produce your own batch of feminized seed.
But they would be what, f2 or maybe it would be s1and either way likely even more prone to going hermi?
