The seeds may have recessive or dominant intersex traits. There are no guarantees either way. If it’s in the mom, it’s in the babies. That being said, it doesn’t mean you can’t find something stable enough in the seeds to grow without seeing intersex traits. Never intentionally breed with any of those seeds in the future though.

What is the light schedule and what are you growing, autoflowers or photoperiods?

Every seed is a unique individual like every human is a unique individual. Michael Jordan’s parents didn’t get a Michael Jordan the first try. They got a Larry Jordan. Silver Thiosulfate is more effective than Colloidal silver.

An out of range pH buffer will lock out minerals in any media. It’s almost always the reason plants lack nutrition. Often times heavy feeding from veg through mid flower can cause a salt build up if allowed to dry back too much too often tanking pH.

If this damage was just on the lower leaves I’d say pull them and don’t worry if the new growth looked healthy. I’m seeing random damage all over the plant on the tips of the leaves leading me to believe you’ve got a bit too much available nutrition. I’d back off the Fox Farm Trio nutrients. Deficiencies can easily be corrected in soil over a week or so but damaged roots from over-feeding can take weeks to recover if ever.

Perfect environment and nutrition. Equal amount of light, canopy and roots. People love blasting light. People love a wide, thick canopy. People seem to hate roots though. They’re almost always neglected because you can’t see them. Limit root mass, limit yield.

Intersex traits are 100% genetic that can be induced by environmental conditions. The environment doesn’t cause the traits, they were always there.
-
Intersex traits are passed on to seed progeny as dominant or recessive. The only way to know is to stress test.

You have a salt build up for sure if you don’t water to run off with mineralized nutrition. Every dry back concentrates minerals causing salts to form.

First thing to do is find out about where the pH and EC/PPM buffer of the soil is with a quick run off test using RO/distilled water. RO has no pH or mineral buffer. The run off will give a little more accurate result. A decent test is to use about an equal volume of water to media and then check the run off numbers. If pH and/or PPM are out of range, adjust from there. A very high PPM may call for a flush. A heavy rinse will wash out the non metals nitrate, phosphate, sulfate, chloride and molybdate so don’t go heavy mid run without replacing these elements right after a flush.

Every watering.

Check the run off pH after watering to make sure it’s also in range.

Limiting root mass, limits the plant’s overall structure no matter how often irrigated. The plant can not and will not produce thick stalks/branches with a tiny root system no matter how much bio-mass is above. The growth will be thin and scraggly. Yield at each node is directly related to stem girth as well.

This interveinal chlorosis is the start of a magnesium deficiency. 1 tsp of Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) per gallon of water will correct your issue.

Removing lower growth will not stunt the plant but make the tops grow faster. To slow overall growth of a plant is to allow all the undergrowth to exist until you want the plant to take off by removing it all.
