Something wrong with my plant?

Hey all I'm needing some advice on what's going on with a couple of my plants. I'm going into week 5 and 2 of my plants have some weird developing flowers. I'm not sure if they are hermi's or just sick? Can you guys help me out with this pictures?image.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpeg

You should be posting this is the plant problem section... sadly your plants are not doing to well, most importantly what is the ph at? how strong are your nutrients, when was the last time you flushed them out?

Oops sorry didn't realize there was a section for that. I'll know for next time. PH tested at 6 a few days ago and I've been giving them full strength nutrients. Haven't flushes though. All my other plants are doing well just not these 2. Should I scrap them? Those aren't pollen sacs?

I would suspect nutrient toxicity, you should flush at least once a month to prevent the build up, they do look like they have hermied, I would remove them from the grow room as sickly plants attract disease and all sorts of other unwanted problems,

Alright was just seeing if anything could be done but guess I'll know for next time, thanks.

You got serious toxic salts buildup and heat stress going on. Flush 'em and flush 'em good. It's built up right into some of the buds. By week 5 you should be backing way off on the nutes with just some bloom boosters and maybe half dose calmag.

What kind of water do you use? Tap water often is the culprit for a lot of the salts and when you are feeding full strength it's just too much.

Are these all the same strain? Clones or from seed?

I have one of my four burning bad so she's was flushed a few days ago and she's the same strain as the others but being F1 plants and from seed she's one who can't handle as much as the others that have just a touch of burn and all got partial flushes. Big colas on all of them and looking like a week maybe two on them. Think I'll take the burnt one down in a few days or so. Sampled her and she's got a good buzz.

Back the lights up a bit to reduce the heat stress as well.

Thanks for the reply!
I am using tap water. I have 9 other plants and they are all doing just fine. ( 6 different strains).

Everything in the room is a clone. The ones that are doing bad are from a dispensary in Denver. They were mite infested and had to battle that for a while. The ones that are doing good are clones from seeds I purchased online. Like I said before they are doing well from what I can tell.

I'm running 1000 HPS and 750 MH but the lights are a couple feet from the canopy.

That's too bad you gotta take one down early. Hopefully you can get something out of it!

Here is a picture of the ones (I believe) are doing well vs the ones that I pulled from the room in fear that they are hermi's. Just thought it was odd that all the ones I pulled were from the same dispensary. Could the mites have caused this? It was taken care of in the veg stage though.

Not really taking her down early. She's done. Trichs are getting cloudy, hairs are all red. I figure that's why she reacted badly to the same food and quantity as the others because she's a faster finisher and I should have been cutting her back earlier. It was the first run with these and part of a breeding project so I pushed pretty hard and took notes for the next run so I can dial them in better. She may be the breed mother for the next run as she is carrying F2 seeds and the small buds I sampled are damn nice. :)

I don't think they are hermies but can't tell from the pics for sure. When they are burning like that the buds get all f'ed up and the hairs die and curl up. Should be able to see the hairs still on the buggered buds. If they're well flushed they should come back with a smaller yield but still better than tossing them out in the home stretch. Look really close for 'nanners and if you don't find any put 'em back in for the finish.

Mites didn't cause it unless there's webbing all over the buds. Needs flushing bad.

The bottom right pic in the last bunch I blew up on the computer to get a better look at the buds. Look like what I described as buggered but it's still a bit fuzzy. So are my eyeballs at 5am but I'm pretty sure. Hermies don't usually make bud clusters but hang like scrotums and once ripe split open and spill pollen. They don't look like that to me at all.

Some Kali Mist male flowers. Little pollen on the stem.

You need to check those plants very carefully for bugs. You have a lot of leaves tacoing, usually it's a heat issue but that would be at the top of the plant closest to the lights. This is a pic of broad mite damage i got on the internet for comparison.

The only bugs that I know of are just fungas gnats, but I don't think they could do that. I'll probably put back the best looking one and make bubble hash out of the other 2 that aren't looking so good.
