Really upset right now. Started my morning routine of examining the lady's, defoliating, and watering. Today is day 27 of flower and I am running Alien Treatz by RobinHood and Frozen Fuel by Square One. I am off of work on the weekends so I had time this morning to do a really thorough examination on the girls and sure as shit, found one Alien Treatz bottom canopy full of herms and nanners. Cut that one down and tossed her. Then started to examine my biggest and most beautiful Alien Treatz plant and found 2 herms on the very lower bottom canopy. I do lollipop slightly. Probably not as much as I should, but almost a third of bottom gets defoliated. I picked the 2 herms off, and they looked fairly new. I examined very closely and did not see anymore nanners or herms. Then I caught one herm on one of the 4 Frozen Fuel I have going. Also on the bottom canopy. Really pissed. I did not chuck the other 2 I found 1 or 2 nanners on. I just plucked them, washed the tent, and sprayed the plants down. Could the cause of the nanners be from a lack of light on the lower canopy, seeing as all the nanners I found were on the lowest bud sites on the plant? Should I be good as long as I keep an eye on the lower canopy for any herms going forward, or would it be better to toss the plants?

Using Mars Hydro SP 3000 about 19-20 inches from main canopy. One of the Alien Treatz stretched like a mofo, and is probably about 8 inches from the light. That is the one I found 2 small nanners on the very lowest bud sites I had.

I would strip another couple inches up and keep an eye on them. I've found the lower balls pop up more often if I ever raise my feed EC top high. Just a thought not saying you're overfeeding

I mean, I am running living soil. I have been top dressing every other week in 5 gallon pots 4 tbs of 3-9-4 Flower Girl by Dr Earth and 1 tbs of 3-3-.3 from down to earth with 1tbs of bat guano in each pot. Also do a 50-50 diluted compost tea every about 3 weeks with about .75 tbs kelp .75 tbs alfalfa and .5 tbs of bat guano with 2 and a half cups of worm castings and 1 and a half tbs of molasses. Last tea was 700 ppm and diluted with half water when given to the plants. I don't know if that would be considered overfeeding but maybe could be something to do with it. I do believe it must have to do with the amount of light the bottom canopy gets especially with led lights. Since all the balls are on the lowest of the bud sites, it makes sense. I don't mind having to keep an eye on the girls for anymore to pop up, it just sucks to have that thought in the back of your head that your going to find a herm every time you examine them. It also sucks to not know how much damage the herms did already. If caught early, can bottom canopy herms still cause alot of pollination? Or is it usually pretty minimal?
