The weight on the first 4 or so plants wasn't that bad at almost an oz each, however since it was a hermi we had seeds lots of seeds. The whole bottom quarter of the plant was fully seeded, and the rest was hit of miss. The further up you went the less seeds but there were always a few.

I will admit to spending hours picking male flowers and giving up after a few weeks.

I thought no problem though because I know what went wrong and now that the stress is relieved I should slowly notice an improvement.

As time went on the yellowing moved to younger and younger plants. Since my nute solution was so low and the manure was still in the mix for a chunk of the plants from before I thought that I was over watering them and drowning them out. I picked up another moisure meter(I've broken like 6 already) and instead of watering from the top I would plunk the plants in an ice cream pail and keep topping it up till there was 2" of water on the bottom of the pail. The coco absorbed the water up into the pot over the period of about 2 minutes I would then put the pot back out on the grates and let the water run out the bottom pulling O2 back into the soil. But no improvement.

Then it occured to me that with such a heavy seed load the plants were probably being striped of their nutrients. Since the bottom quarter of the plants were the ones the pollinated themselves I cut them all out in the first few weeks of flowering. But my harvests kept gettin smaller and now early flowing plants were becoming stunted and small with few branches. I thought that this was still them recovering from all the overdoses.

Lets take a break from the flower room so I can fill you in on some lost and new strains....
