HERMIE PROBLEM HELP!!!
So as ive been thinking about what could have possibly hermed this plant, a friend of mine reminded me the stress that it went through in the Veg stage.
When i began to give it nutes the first week and a half (not after sprouting but when it was ready to receive it) it was given an overdose of nutes and it wasn't PH balanced. After i began to see the stem/leaves turn purple i right away knew it was a PH/nute overdose problem so I purchased a PH test kit (included PH up and down) and continued to give it an overdose of nutes even though it was PH balanced.
Well when i finally figured out that the dosage of nutes i had been giving it was almost triple the amount that was recommended i stopped giving it the nutes and gave it water for the remainder of the Veg cycle.
(to give more specific info all the plants went from CFL's to a 400w system during Veg)
Even though the plant took the nutes like a champ and the red/purple color was slowly disappearing I knew the plant was stressed out. So before putting it into flowering it had 2 weeks to recover. Both plants that are in flowering right now where given the same treatment. (the other is a indica dominant and this one is a sativa dominant)
Also the nutes that were given had no information like the Solo-tech I am using right now (NPK). Which is why i switched and gave it time before making any adjustments.
My question now is could the stress that it went through Veg make it herm during the flowering stage? If so why didn't the other herm as well?
I know you guys are saying genetics/bagseed but that only enlightens me and IMO makes me believe that if it isnt the genetics that i will run into these same problems later.
Thank you guys/gals so much as this site has helped me alot and i hope the information and answers you give will help someone who stumbles into this thread.
