Are these pollen sacs developing? Is my plant turning hermaphrodite? Can anything be done?
First-time grower here. Im growing 2 Trizzlers Autoflowers and I'm 30 days in. This morning I noticed what I believe to be pollen sacs forming on one of the plants. Has my plant Hermied? and if so is there anything that can be done?

How did my soil get SO acidic?!
Growing in ProMix. Using FoxFarm. Soil test everytime I water/feed. Adjust ph of liquids to suit. All of a sudden, soil ph is at 4.5! WHY?!?! Flushed them w/lots of PH-Up, one has come back, the other still struggling.

Flowering. 19 days left supposedly : are the trichomes already milky?
Many pistils are getting dark and it seems some trichomes are already milky but I'm not sure. I had many setbacks during the grow but I didn't think a plant would be that early. How much time do I have left ? I didnt start senescence yet (end of week)

Weekly Reporting
Do we typically consider week 1 to be after the seed has popped or the day it was planted? This is my first grow and I'm trying to log this diary back when I started the grow.

Could this be from cat piss? The litter box was full, i forgot and there was a weird smell coming from the pot but unrecognizable.
Yellowing tips, is it something i won't have to worry about or should i give some fix or flush it... any advice is welcome, she always had a little bit bent tips and a microscopic yellow point, but now all of a sudden its getting very bad very fast. Is it possible the cat pissed?

Didn't realize I had photoperiod. 20 weeks later, do I need to do anything different now that I want to flower?
Didn't realize that I had photoperiod seed to start my DWC grow. 20 WEEKS IN and I just switched lights to 12/12. Do I need to do anything different/be concerned about based on the long veg time? Overall plant seems to be OK.

Seedling grew tap root but has white cotyledons
Sprouted two bubba kush, first one is fine but second one never popped through the soil. Was worried it was stuck so I removed the shell, and it revealed a white bulb looking structure that I was able to split to reveal the white cotyledons. Is the plant trash? Its been 24 hours

Drooping Leaves
There is complete drooping of the leaves.According to my research, it 's caused by overwtering.What should I do at this stage?And is the problem really overwatering? I didn't turn it off today because when the lights are off, the plant will droop more.Do you think I did it right?
