Keep or toss Blue Dream autos...

These are feminized Blue Dream Autos and feminized Amnesia autos entering their seventh week. I grew the Blue Dream once before and watched as they grew to five feet. I suspected that they became hermaphrodites and decided to toss them. This time I decided to try LST on them (first attempt and even though in the fourth week probably did it too late) as I am growing Amnesia autos in the same space (first LST attempt also) and wanted to try keeping the canopy even. I was seeing very little growth on BD and decided after watering them and fertilizing them last week that I would not look at them for a week to see if the growth would be more noticeable. This morning there are numerous colas developing but they look very spindly. Most photos that I have seen of BD autos show large, full colas but I just don’t see that happening with the time left on these. I noticed a clump of white powder at one of the nodes (brushed it off before I could take a photo and no powder anywhere else). The gender pods look suspicious, but I am a newbie so…? If they are hermaphrodite should I pull them up? I worry that they will spread to the Amnesias (photos as well) but I think the Amnesias look ok.

Using 3-gallon cloth grow pots, distilled water, Fox Farm Happy Frog potting soil (the regular not the hotter Ocean type), and Happy Frog dry organic fertilizer, following Happy Frog’s schedule. Light is a VIPARSPECTRA P2000 LED Grow Light Full Spectrum with Samsung LEDs (Includes IR), 18 – 6 schedule at 24 inches.

What the f happened to that plant.

Did you not touch the plants for an entire week?? As in....did not water them for a week?

If there was an award for ugliest marijuana plant...you got a good chance at it a winner.

The other one looks ok tho.

Live and learn.
Usually, only water once a week or until my meter tells me that the moisture content is low. Should I be watering more??

I'm at a loss for words regarding that first plant..... But i must say, i am very impressed with your photos, well, your ability to take a good photo. Um, yea that plant.... If you have the room, just keep going, i want to see what it looks like in 4 weeks. lmao. If you don't have room, kill it immediately.

I'm not a soil guy...but only needing to water one time a week seems not correct. Plant should be needing a lot more water than that during flower.

In hydro plants drink 1 gallon per day per plant or so. Depending on size. In soil they will need the same amount.

Glad you like the photos. I am a semi-professional photographer

That first plant is completely pollinated she won't get much bigger. Even her preflowers are seeded. Second looks alright.

Canon 50D with 100mm macro
Nice. I used to do a little photo and video for motorsports events. Made some pocket change. Haven't been in that game for about a decade at this point. I used to borrow a friends 5D Mark II. Never actually got to fully learn/ or utilize it, just pointed it at cars, haha. I myself owned a Nikon 3500 at the time, and a plethora of action cams.
