Novice grower looking for advice

[Biostudent]

Hey everyone just a quick rundown. I'm about a month into these 3 hermaphrodite seeds and here are my conditions :
77 degrees F light 68 F lights off. 18 light 6 hours dark currently.
60-78% humidity on average
2 bulbs 1 60W white light 1 blue red spectrum
1 full month of vegetation using 2-1-6
Grow medium is an airy mix of verm and peat moss
Fert every 3 days 15ML/150ML mix 2-1-6/h20
Every 2 weeks I flush with 5PH water.



Question: after topping my plants I see some brown spots and twisting of new growth. I'll try to attach photo.

I stay away from hermies. I prefer something with a proven track record. Something known to grow true. But if it was me I would skip a feeding or 2. See if anything improves. Some leaves on the dark side but ive seen worse. If no help I would test ppm's. Water treatment plant could of took a $hit. Good luck.

2-1-6 ferts in peat moss? Esp in veg? Why?

Water with a pH of 5???? Flush every 2 weeks? I'm amazed the plants look so good.

I transitioned to flowering stage last week, and cut off all the weird/deformed leaves. The plants look great and are starting to show sex organs. I think the PH really threw it off so i let the soil dry completely and did a nice flush of water. Cheers guys

If you made your own peat moss mix you probably should have added a little lime to the mix.Maybe keep the ph in the 6.5-7 range. What is the ph of your straight tap water?
I would stop with the the 5 ph water flushes. Now that they are in flower get some proper flowering nutrients on them.

Best of luck and may all your Buds be Huge

Thanks for all the help Gorilla. So I have 2 plants and I think one is showing female reproductive and one decently male. Can I just cut all the sacs off the male and they could coexist?

I would not do that unless you want seeds. Get rid of the male and let the female use the space and light. Train the female to maximize the space.
