Hopefully they won't be too many. Live and learn buddy, live and learn. Every grower gotta start somewhere.

You know it could have been a lot worse, I had a buddy who owns 2 ferrets and one day those ferrets found their way into the grow box and chewed all 5 of his vegging plants. They were about 2 weeks old. Chewed them right down to the stem.:shock::shock:

Its something about the leaves the pets cant get enough. I heard cats like em too.

Let them pollenated themselves and try growing the new seeds. It how feminized seeds were made in the old days. Worth a shot imo rather than cut em down. That way it's not a total waste.

I will try an post some pics later but I'm having an issue with my proxy server and it won't let me post pics so until I've fixed it I cant. I will try though :)

Since we're talking about making seeds, I've read that auto-pollinated herms tend to make hermy seeds ( unstable ). The seeds do come out feminised though since there are no male chromosomes involved during pollination.

Is there any way to produce stable feminised seeds like the ones that are sold by breeders? Being able to make my own breed by crossing genetics is in my bucket list. :weed:

They say to make stable fem crosses you should pick a female with the traits of your choice and pollinate it with the pollen from a hermy plant, with the traits of your liking of course. Sounds plausible, it must be better than auto-pollination. Whaddya guys think?

Thanks you guys have them 2ml per litre last night but not sure if it's the cal mag thing now as pot def has also been suggested:( take a look at these pics in the light and see what you all think please if it is pot def what can I do . I don't think I've over fed them at all . It's all a but difficult when using Nft system I've been doing it for 10 years without any issues using hps but now have run into theses probs. on the make female front still not sure how many are turning thanks guys much love for your help

thanks guys , but now im thinking that adding all the cal and mag has affected my plants ability to take up the potassium as ive read that too much calcium in the mix affects how the plant takes up the potassium, so should I add less magnecal or just add some pk 13/14 at half measures to see if that helps argh don't know . also ive kept the nutes 30% lower as I read they get nute burn easier under the leds so maybe up the nutes to the usual measures at this stage . any thoughts thanks guys

Best way to make stable fem seeds is to force one good branch to produce pollen sacs and the allow it to pollenated the plant. This can be done using colloidal silver spray. The plant will not be suitable to smoke as the colloidal silver is toxic. The seeds will be fine because they are in the bract. Or you can collect the pollen from the branch and brush it onto a different plant if you wish to cross breeds.

yep too much cal can cause pot lockout. Too much salt in your medium can also cause pot lockout. Pot def looks like the leaf is burning because the plant cannot produce enough chlorophyll so it literally burns. @WazzaX is using 2ml/L I'm using 1ml/L and he has t had an issue. I have due to salt build up. I added 1ml/L of potassium to my feed to help combat it and it's worked well so far. I also flushed the pots with 3x the volume of the pot and rinsed with nutes at the end.
