They look like they need some ferts. Too much yellowing with not enough buds. How many weeks flowering? :what:

It seems as if they are lacking a bit of color in the above shot. This could be because of the HPS lighting that gives me that feeling. But, it does seem like you're lacking some fertilizers it really could be that you need to up your phosphorus and potassium. what are you using for fertilizers ?

That looks okey dokey for 5 weeks in. I do not see nutrition deficiencies, the lighting does that.

I would remove the foil and use WHITE on the walls, nothing on the floor. Foil creates "hot spots" of light, not good. Your plants will fluff out more if you do that.

the leave are not yellow at all it's just the lighting that makes it look like it. I can't take the shiney stuff off the walls my two grow rooms are the 4x4 pods one for veg one for flower. I just started giving my girls some "bud candy" so over the next few weeks they should be looking amazing i'll post pics next week. :rasta::rastasmoke:

They look like they're doing fine for 5 weeks. Maybe stretched a little too much. You'll probably find that in another 3 or 4 weeks you're going to have to tie the buds up so they don't break the stalks. Good job.

any kind of stress can induce hermies, but the most common form of stress which causes hermies is light leaks.


"Hermies" is short for hermaphroditic flowers, which will produce pollen of only X chromosomes. This is how you make feminized seeds.


So if you have some light leaking in at that lights off period (anything more bright than a full moon normally), this can cause plants that would normally not hermy, to do so. However, if you grew this from bag seed, or the strain is not stable, hermaphroditic flowers can be genotypical (or caused by genes alone), and there's nothing you can do to stop them from appearing.


What you can always do though, is closely inspect your bud sites every day. Most hermies will form at the base of a bud site, most often nearest the stem of the node that bud formed out of. So look for them. They are a very light green color at first, and within a day or two become yellow banna looking things that eventually release pollen.

Tweezers and a magnifying glass are best for getting them before they mature.


Goodluck. Oh, and also, you can spray a light mist of just plain water around the area you are checking for hermies, this will reduce the spread of pollen, but be careful not to spray your budsites.
