RO WATER

You should then measure the pH to confirm or dispel your theory.

Don't have the money for a soil tester and not sure how accurate a slurry is

So what was the open sac for on the lower node with white powder inside of it that had opened, the powder which I believe to be pollen was all over the soil

Much more accurate than a guess

I don't know what to tell you........if there was pollen all over the soil, there would be balls everywhere.
I believe you're mistaken.
Good luck.

Those are definitely male parts with pollen.
Didn't see any of that in your other pics.

Are you just culling them or getting seeded bud?

What kinda lighting level are you hitting them with?
I had a snow white auto that made a big pile of seeds from the PPFD being too high for it, the others were ok though.
I use RO and recycle the dehumidifier water and have been for the better part of 5 or more years is why I asked about your lights.

Hi all, been having serious issues with my autos producing pollen sacs mid flower for the past 5 runs. Everything goes well till week 4 flower, then I start noticing a few on lower nodes. I bought new tent, light and ducting for this run and still happened. They are on 20/4 light schedule and temps average 24°c. I'm in bio bizz light mix using living soil dry ammendments. The last thing I've narrowed it down too is my water. I currently use tap water left out for 24hrs but my water is very hard. Generally around 8.5/9ph. I then bring it down to 6.4 but have noticed if I check the pH of left over water a day later, it has risen again to 8ish pH. Also I get really bad calcium deposits around all of my faucets in the house. I'm wondering if this is what's stressing the plants, causing lockouts etc... Would using an ro filter help stabilise the water? I've also heard that with ro water I need to add calmag before ph'ing? Would I still need to add this before watering using organic dry ammendments?

I would consider moving on to photoperiod plants.

I have tap water similar to yours. Can you list everything including the NPK for each top dressing or bottle feeding you gave the plants up until the yellowing began. If you can be detailed with amounts given and dates or stage of growth when feedings are given. I have a feeling it's related to the way you are feeding. Could be too much or too little of something near the stage of the yellowing.
