Not sure. The new growth looks ok and the upper canopy is flat suggesting they are on the mend.

Its possible they will look worse before getting better.

Looks like they were fed too much p and k and possible ph problem along with salt buildup.

Let them dry and start back feeding with next watering with veg formula at 1/4 strength. I like to mix weaker than what the directions say.

Water until good run off and don't let them sit in the run off to help prevent salt buildup.

You also want a good wet dry cycle.

yea they are looking better... I kinda tnought it would be good to let em dry and do another lighter flush of tbe soil or just a water wo nutes... If he does add anything id def do like u said and add very little

Ive rarely seen any condensation only when leaves are sitting on other leaves. Im at my wits end at this stage. My last 4 runs have hermed. The only major change was that i run no fans during lights off to save on noise. And the thing is the girls have always looked pretty healthy.

@Ghost of Davy Jones sorry to hijack your thread dude

Not sure if someone said this yet but do you have an extension cord that has a little light on it to indicate it's plugged in?

Dude do you think high humidity (99%) would stress a plant in flower enough to cause hermie?

I don't think so directly, but it would be a stressor and any stress like getting PM due to the high RH could certainly have effects. There are many factors that can cause hermies, genetics and stressors are the more likely causes or combinations of them. Anything extreme, whether 10% RH or 99% is not going to be good for the plants and needs to be fixed, whether it causes them to hermie or not.

IMHO.
Hermies are a phenotype genetic trait. I havn't ever had them with good seeds.
I reckon its the secret to which good genes are found. Doesnt matter the variety.
If you have good genes, you dont get hermies at all, or extremely rarely at worst.
I believe whatever is in the seed is it, and it was hermie all along.
No hermies = great quality seed stock.

Some newer studies are showing its not genetic. An enzyme or protien, I forget which, is responsible.

Pretty much all cannabis can herm. Various reason cause it and its a survival mechanism. I spent a number of years growing brick and bag seeds that I'm sure some came from herms. Often times the offspring were just fine.

I also believe there is a difference in a full on herm that shows both sexes from the beginning and ones that throw late nanners.

The only thing is, ive almost tried my hardest to get em. Havn't succeeded. Lucky seeds i suppose.
Im fairly certain some cannabaceae can. So i guess it is possible.

I've had some do great with light leaks and other stresses.

Take one and leave 6 or 8 buds on the bottom. Leave them after you chop and let them go a month or so past thier prime. I've had good luck with it and makes good fem seeds.

I also use cs. Some will show easy and some won't.

I only sprayed this one daily for the first week of flower.

I got tired of buying fems. I started making them. I just take the pollen and save it. If I like a female I pull some out and take a little paint brush and put pollen on one limb. 50-200 seeds off one little branch.

Hit me up if you decide to. Its easy to make colloidal silver generator .
