Nute Deficiency or just natural flowering process?

[MittenMan]

Greetings!
This is my first grow, and the learning curve has been steep but also enjoyable.
I am diligently ready and studying everything I can get hold of, but in the end the experience of others who have the knowledge is far better.
I have 5 Durban Poison (fem) plants that are ending week 7 of flowering.
It’s a hydro grow.
I have been keeping the conditions and grow environment as close to ideal as I can, but I’ve struggled with ‘reading‘ the plants in terms of nute levels.
I’m thinking I have a deficiency here, but I don’t know.
I have a jewelers lens and all trichomes are still glassy and clear so harvest can’t be soon?
thanks for any tips or advice, I’m happy to have joined GWE community.

I would say nute burn, but in the second pic top right side looks like it could be bud rot, look at it really close!

[CaptainWiese91]

Looks like it👍🏻
Could it maybe also be hermie? Why the hairs is maturing so fast. ? Hard to see when you zoom in on it.

[MittenMan]

Burn would make sense too, I’ve kinda lost the handle on what they need nutrient-wise the past week
The plants on right of pic are behind in terms of flowering development from Early Girl (large plant on left of main pic) I topped E.G. as an experiment, and not the other 4 girls.
I’ll do another deep inspection when the light comes on in couple hours, but I don’t think there’s rot.
But like I said, I am a total beginner, and loving this process.
The smell is very strong too.
Would a total clean (nute free) water flush be a good move?

I think you may have over fed causing calcium to lock out. Give the plant only water until harvest

[MittenMan]

I’m gonna do a full tank flush then later today, and count the days til harvest.
Thanks all!

Good luck

I hope it helps 🙏🏻

FYI, you were right about Early Girl being a hermie. I’m impressed you figured that out just from that pic. I can just see a few bananas trying to emerge, and I’ll pluck them when needed, but at this point I’m harvesting E.G. after one week of flushing, and she/he appears to still have quite a bit of usable bud.
I’ve learned a lot on this first grow journey.

Normally on other forums I would say; Told you that mr 😏
But here we keep it simple : so I’m happy I could give that suggestion for you and you found out what to expect🙏🏻

[CaptainWiese91]

Just question yourself about what maybe made the stress, that triggered them into a hermie.
When you read nebulas article- nanners are more unstable and often a stress moment you made.
While the pollen sacs is maybe more genetically

[MittenMan]

Everybody gotta be a beginner.
my gut tells me heat stress was the culprit.

[CaptainWiese91]

Totally agreed. I’m just glad you found the problem 👍🏻
This is why every grow it’s now wasted experience My guts just maybe me think about the hermie thing.
No grow is wasted time
