    I have a problem with the taste

    It's just the nature of things. Terpy plants that taste good too are something that's sought after. You need to hunt for them and keep cuttings. And, Not harvest too early. But by sounds of it, it was just luck of the draw.

    Deficiency help

    FFOF should have plenty already to get you going for couple weeks. You've then added ewc + dr earth fertilizer as well. Seems like too much to me. And, what are the directions on your dr earth? Does it suggest mixing the veg and bloom together? I'd be sticking to the instructions. I wouldn't be...

    Ph meeters

    I buy cheap equipment, fans, tents, hid bulbs, lights etc. If it's within your budget, a Blue Lab pH/EC combo meter is worth the investment.

    Auto flower plant discoloring, any suggestions or advice on how to fix?

    So long as you're getting some runoff, it'll be okay. (roughly 5% of 5gallons in waste or runoff) 1.5litres maybe just a bit shy, I think, but it'd be close.

    Auto flower plant discoloring, any suggestions or advice on how to fix?

    If they're all 5 gallon, I'd give them all the same amount of water. Aim for about 5% pot volume in runoff, little less doesn't matter. Just keep it up with plain water. They should start getting better within a couple waterings.

    Auto flower plant discoloring, any suggestions or advice on how to fix?

    You're locking out from too much food. Easy to tell by the Nitrogen claw and lockout symptoms in the leaves. What size are your pots? Are you watering until you see runoff/drainage?

    Hempy Bucket Flowering EC or Potassium?

    My opinion, you're mostly chasing ghosts, better to just leave things be and see what happens. As you've already given fertilizer etc, done all you can for now. Stop defoliating so much. Doesn't look too bad for day 28, be patient, weeks/months to go. 20 gallons of soil, careful of how often you...

    Hempy Bucket Flowering EC or Potassium?

    Really up to you. One, couple, or a few. I use a 1.2 tent indoors and seem to like about 4. (5gallon pots) Have managed up to seven 5gallon pots. Best yield in the space so far was 1 plant in larger pot approach. This isn't using hempy buckets, though, just DTW.

    Hempy Bucket Flowering EC or Potassium?

    Lots of recirculating systems using hempy or dutch buckets that water several times per day. Minimum would be once per day. It's recommended, so the water in the bottom of your bucket keeps getting replenished and doesn't go stagnant. Stagnant water causes root rot.

    How well do grow tents protect your plants from light leaks ?

    Seriously....what amount of stress is going to trigger male flowers to grow on a female plant? I know "they" say it does. BUT I can't say the same from my own experience. Quite the contrary, actually. Revegging due to light leaks, sure, been there. If a plant herms, it's genetics, period. The...

    Do hermie plants during flowering show hermie characteristics? Even with no obvious pollen sacs or nanners

    So, I just mean to say, if you do get a herm early or late stage, don't blame yourself and start tail chasing your environment. The ability was present all along. A dioecious female plant lacks the same trait, by it's very definition.

    Do hermie plants during flowering show hermie characteristics? Even with no obvious pollen sacs or nanners

    You're welcome. :D To ask a philosophical question, if a lab test can't yet tell between a female cannabis plant and a hermaphrodite one, how can we? Until it becomes evident in it's flowers.

    Do hermie plants during flowering show hermie characteristics? Even with no obvious pollen sacs or nanners

    I've posted this pdf a couple times, but it's a good read. Worth noting there's a variety of hermaphroditism male to female flower ratio. Also, that monoecious plants / herms appear xx chromosome.

    Do hermie plants during flowering show hermie characteristics? Even with no obvious pollen sacs or nanners

    Here's where the muddy waters are, lol. I say "sometimes" it's environmental. But! The ability to herm is still there. A dioecious plant theoretically can't possess the same trait. Throw any environment at it, plant won't herm.

    Do hermie plants during flowering show hermie characteristics? Even with no obvious pollen sacs or nanners

    I think so! Hermaphrodite plants look female until they don't. And, if you get a hermaphrodite plant, it was meant to be. (not your fault) So don't sweat it.

    F2 Pheno Hunt Advice

    I think the better question for the seed maker is, why make the seed in the first place? What's your objective? There's no reason why a strain composed of 4 different parental lines, couldn't be great seed. It's more to do with pot luck and how they're made. It's a numbers game. More plants to...

    What looks wrong with this plant?

    Lime, Sulphur, organic matter. Not as an accurate measurement, no. You need to test it accurately before acting on it. Otherwise it's just throwing shit and hoping it sticks.
