PLEASE HELP!! i think i might be loosing the entire drop 5 weeks into flower.

Looks like the "blacks" are hermaphroditic. The fan leaves are starting to take odd shapes and have pretty much stopped growth. the fan leaves seem to be pushing the leaf's apart from each other and moving away from the standard 5 leaf figure. they look like the are mentaly ill as apposed to a beautiful fan leaf. The "sweet tooth", "Blueberry", "big buddha", "panama gold" do not seem to be doing the same thing, but they dont seem to have the rapid growth they once had. im thinking they might start to follow the padern of the "blacks" but just arent showing signs yet. is there anything i can do to reverse this cycle?
do i need to just get rid of the plants that are showing signs? should i cut down and salvage what i have? should i flush and hope for the best?
im a newb and just want to see if i cant recover from this.

thanks for your help.

ill have some pictures tomorrow.

could this be from light leaking in?

i am growing in soil. using mild Lucas nutes from my ebb and flow cap system.

the pics are needed imo w/o them its gonna be pretty hard for anyone to try to help you. how about more details on the grow, like everything you can think of.

...light leaks can cause hermie, yes. Be sure you cannot see your hands in front of your face when your lights are off to be safe, and don't go in your room while lights off. Also, the hermie traight could be passed down from the mother if she was stressed.

all the details of my grow are in my journal, and even the building of the room. you can see in the pics that my ventilation is cooling flower and veg room. and i can see the flower hood glowing a little when the flower room lights are off and the veg room lights are on.

Thread: Medical Grow op, NEWBIE!!! so far so good. Comments are welcome


i think i need to change my ventilation so it has nothing to do with the veg room. the mothers where stressed a little, so that could only be fueling the herm tendencies. i also only see the hermi tendencies on "the black" plants. none of the others seem to be showing serious signs. could i be getting lucky and may be able to save the other plants and hope that the blacks dont pollinate the others?

thanks for you help.

here are a few pics. i sealed up the room entirely today. no light leaks, no air leaks. everythings seems to be ok, but i found a seed in one of the plants. so it may have herm'd much prior than i thought. and like i said earlier, i dont think all the plants are reacting like the few "blacks" are.

let me know what you think. i threw in a little eye candy as well to show you why im a little worried about loosing the crop.

enjoy.

details on grow.
2 1000w hps
technaflora grow schedule BC bloost, BC bloom, magical, suggar daddy, awesome blossom, thrive alive and root 66.
55% hum
80 temp
two osilating fans.
3 7 gallon pots, started flowering plants at 24 inches
24 1 gallon pots, started flowering at 8 inches.
a/c
dehumidifier
heater for the night
air cooled hoods
sealed room. no air in, no air out.

what do you guys think?

they look good to me. but you do need to get fresh air in and push stagnant air out.

even when using c02, i forgot to put that in the details? 1500ppm is monitored by an atmosphere controller. cant remember what brand. one of those ridiculously expensive digital guys. hope i get my moneys worth with that guy.

anyway, even with co2 i need to vent?

that all sounds good, is it maybe just a shitty strain that likes to go hermie from genetics or is really light sensitive? you say "the blacks" do you mean thats the strain or are "the blacks" from all the strains? sounds like your doing everything right to me and the rest of your plants look great.

"black" is the strain. sorry about that. thanks for all your help. i guess we all get a little freaked out sometimes whens its not all that necessary. first grow, first real scare. i will keep my Journel updated regularly if you want to see how it all turns out.

I think you just wanted to SHOW OFF lol . They look great . Dont belive for one minute its your FIRST grow.
27 plants on a first grow .

well i built the room to only need one more light to get a 3 week perpetual system going. so the idea was to go big. and i mine as well start big. and i have been reading the shit out of this Forum and Jorge Cervantes Bible. So, i would like to think i know what im doing. but im just the guy who did everything everyone told him to do, and i still dont know shit.

more on those hermis.....im finding seeds in thse, but i have never found any pollen sacks and the rest of my crop still seems to be handling everything ok. is it normal for some hermi's to never form pollen sacks and only grow sees? and the leaf contortion is a major mystery, do people run into this shit a lot during late flower?

thank again for your help. i appreciate the in site.
