Would love some one to confirm weather all has gone down hill and I have hermie's
The tip of a few of the colas have started to sprout what looks to be little flowers ?
First time cheers for any info
You're feeding to much. I think I spot a nanner on the second picture. Some strains are prone to shoot nanners, especially when overfeeding in late flower.

i dont think he over feed look at those stems they look to good. i think its the genes.
Well I think you're pretty new to this forum. He's overfeeding. Tell tail sign is N toxicity which almost always show first in containers.

Nanners often show at the top nugs first and then spread. It often happens in the ripening phase on ripe or soon to be ripe flowers. If you overfed from the get go you can see them earlier. Then there's always the ugly duckling who hermie on you when flipping to flower whatever you do.

thanks man I'll read into nanners, is there anything I can do, or is it going to turn for the worst
Give them only water till you see them becoming a lighter shade of green and then continue feeding like you do and less frequent or feed a weaker nutrient solution every watering.

I typically do feed-> feed->water and never go above 0.6 EC total in containers. Cheers!

Alright so I'll feed only ph 6 water from now on until leafs turn light green.

then I will start introducing 1/2 the amount of nutrients into water after the leafs are lighter.

Should I be trying to pull these nanners out ?
Im still trying to figure out what they are.

Are both the crops done for, or will they still be smokeable if I keep growing them out. Just go about the last 3 weeks of flower flush dry and cure as normal.

Or should I turn it all into hash and edibles.

I've completely taught myself everything learning as I go haha, obviously I have a lot more research to do

Dude, your tops are light bleached. 100%. Light is too close. Happened to me as well and when I increased the distance, it grew normal. Contact the manufacturer and ask for proper distance or look at the ppfd map. Below is my thread when my plant was light bleached. My light was at 12 inches, very very close. Good luck!

Eugenious thanks for the reply it's my first grown and I grew then way to long in veg not taking into account the stretch,
I'm maxing out my tent height and can drop them 2 more inches.

Would you advise turning the light power percentage down to about 50%

And what should li do with the tops? Cut them off.
Are they turning hermie or am I in the clear haha thanks

No problem my friend. They will be fine probably, they're not going to hermie. Raise the light as much as possible for sure. Then you have two options:
a) Dim the light to 70% maybe?
b) Apply some training techniques to lower the tops.

I would personally go with the second option despite being a little harder to do. Do some research on Low Stress Training (LST) and Supercropping (HST). With LST, you tie down the branches and pull them. With Supercropping, you pinch and twist and stem until you feel the insides breaking down. Then you bend the stem and you're all good. Supercropping is not recommended during flowering but I've done with great success. Do research before you apply any technique. Safer bet is LST.

I ended up cutting the white piece off my top because it just didn't look right. Below is the bleached top back then, and how it looks right now.20210120_131508.jpg20210303_212043.jpg

Eugenios thanks so much for your input, I will see what it looks like tonight when I'm home, I will turn the light back to 70% and cut out the tips, off the top colas
