what is wrong ?

hey guys i am a first time grower i have a sativa plant and an indica which is close to being finished i presume ? i recently noticed it was getting burnt and i presume it is light burn so i have kept them out of the sun i have attached photos because i really do not know what to do now i have looked all over the internet but i cant seem to find the right answer , also the sativa plant stem has changed to a darker color , i feed them banana peels egg shells and have straw which has sugar as well as nitrosol they are outdoor grown also

That looks like mold. Is it squishy when you touch the effected part?

If yes, trim it away from the uneffected bud. Be sure to get it all off and cut them Down.

it is not really squishy feels more crispy than anything else, and what do you mean cut them down ? as in harvest both the sativa and indica ?

Ya looks like mold on the one. Id harvest that one and trim off all the brown to try and save something out of it. The other one looks pretty haggard too. Id cut it down as well. If the smoke sucks roll it up has lots of threads on concentrate making and edibles.

First off, don't ever defoliate a plant like that again. Fan leaves absorb harmful rays and protect the plant. Among about 12 other things that humans no about. ( save them to make tea)

If those are sun bleach spots, you will be able to tell. The crispness is a good sign that it's not mold or it could be sun dried mold.

If it's spreads its mold

thankyou next time round i will keep more leaf
i will keep watching them and keep them out of direct sunlight hopefully it gets better or do you think i should just harvest ?

Re reading your original post and the feed you have been giving them we can not rule out some kind of root issue either.

dont think you will gain anything by letting them go, you live in South America?

There is something very wrong with those plants. They might be way over ripe or something but the stalks are brown. Thats not the right color at all. And did you pull off all the fan leaves on purpose? Or did they just die off. Also, did you feed anything besides banana peels and egg shells? It could be from severe lack of food that all the stuff died off. You dont get sunburn on plants, they evolved over the years to deal with the sun.

the most likely culprit is mold the more I think of it. Both plants getting " sun burn" is possible, not likely.

Harvest ,cut away the bad flower. Outside if you can, don't want those spores comimg to where you hang them.

Sun bleaching it the correct term.

i just about peed a little from laughing.

some good free sources for plant food are coffee grinds ( used)
Your local horse stable or pet store, the used rabbit and horse bedding.
Or in a punch 1 cup of your leanest urine to a gallon of water.
Grew a few hundred tomatoes using my own pee.

Eggs shells and bannana peels take a long time to become available in the soil.
