info on budds

[xeasyx]

can any one tell me why some of the budds are startting to go like this and can i stop it thanks easy

 

[bobman]

light leak or too much nitrogen is my best guess. what strain how and far along? can you get a shot of the whole plant? Do you know if you have a light leak? is this what every plant looks like?

 

[xeasyx]

its on 3 differant strains and its only directly below light its a 1.2 x1.2 tent and its not round egdes of the tent the lights of temps has gone down to 8c in the last 2 weeks could that doit cheers for reply EASY

 

[xeasyx]

38 days in flower sorry forgot that bit cheers EASY

 

[bobman]

what are u feeding? so your sure it's not as light leak?

 

[xeasyx]

no theres no way it can be light leak im feeding vitalink bloom a and b aswell as from 26 days on ive been using vitalink buddy
do you think it could be connected to another problem i had ?
back on about day 15 of flower a friend told me to put an air stone in my res so being the plonker i am i put oxigen tablets in thinking it would do same job well to my deverstaion about 12 odd hours later about 40 to 50 % of the leafs were dead or dieing
I forgot i had put these tablets in so couldnt work out why it was happening so added another 50lt to my res of plain water to see if that would help next day there was 60 to 70 % dead or dieing then the penny dropped when i see the oxigen tablets on the side so i did a full res clean out and water change with half nutes it stopped the dieing leafs but a good 70 to 80 % was dead or damaged .
The plants started to look better over the next couple of weeks apart from being a bit bald of all the fan leafs ,the new budd growth looked ok then about a week ago i notice the starting to change as in the pictures what you can see in the picture by touch and close up is hard when you touch it and close up it looks real sugerie its not all over its on about 10 budds and its only the tops it seems to be the new growth would you cut it of , just the deformed bit or would you leave it
sorry to go on a bit and cheers fo reply

Yes any type of stress put on a plant... light disturbances, chemical imbalances, pH changes, hot cold, etc. Can cause distorted mutated growth. If ya got everything else going good and you have fixed that problem they should snap out but it takes a looong time so be patient. They my never look themselves but you will still get a crop.
I try to learn at least one thing every new grow and improve upon that in the future.
cheers

 

[xeasyx]

Thats it MHHSP matey its all a learning curv its something we all enjoy doing and problems is part of it, its only my second grow first was in soil which went pretty good and this one in hydro (nft) which i have found a lot more interesting even with this crop no doing as good as the first and as you said as long as we keep learning thats what its about.
An at the end of it hopefully i will have anoth smoke to last me untill the next crop so i dont have to buy the crap of the streets
Anyway pal thanks for the looking in and the reply cheers

[bobman]

well, i would say you left out a pretty big clue. something went wrong that is probably it. all your leaves look weird almost like a re-vegged pant. what strain? did you re-veg it then put it back in flower? in other words was this plant flowered once already?

 

[xeasyx]

ok bobman they was all clones took end of august its happen on a cinderella an armageddon and on a nycd all been grown befor once by me and few times by friends with no problems i think im going to cut it of and see how it goes its only on about 5 to 10 % of the budds so we'll see as i said its only on a few and its only the new growth at the tips 1 thing im going to check is all the timers should of done that first really i no they go of every 12 hours but i should check none of the pins are down on the timers and there's 12 hours of unbroken darkness anyway thanks for reply
cheers EASY

 

[bobman]

yes i would check that for sure. i just lost a room to a light leak not fun. you never know until its to late. my plants looked a little like that. i hope its not.

 

[xeasyx]

thanks for getting back to me bobman i did check the timers and 1 fifteen pin was down so 4 hours into 12 of period it came on for 15 minutes (what a plonker) thats got to be the problem its only been doin it fo 13 or so days will it stop growing like that now theres no breaks in the cycle or is the damage done and could it make the flower period go longer cheers for reply
EASY

 

[bobman]

man that sucks. i do not know what to tell you. you may want to start a new thread. i am sure someone will have an answer. i would imagine that it will lengthen your flowering time for at least the time the timer was fucked up but i do not know. if you find an answer please post to help others. i just did not want to dick around with trying to solve the problem so i just cut it all down. sorry to hear the news i hope it was not a vital grow for you. maybe its just a simple correction and the plants will come through and your flower time is just lengthened a few weeks. sometimes learning is not fun.

 

[MHHSP]

Yes it will stunt flowing time prob around 1-2 weeks until they resume normal growth, go by trich development color for harvest time. It will hurt the yeild a bit.

The Pictures are not clear enough to help give you a positive ID/Diagnosis. Could be a number of things. Ive left lights on in Bloom or rather a grow buddy of mine has to a grow of ours(never done it myself), but ive seen what happens. Plants re-veg & bud growth becomes leafy & distorted, problems arise with ripening & times seems to have been lost by weeks. If that happens consider using GHRipen to finish off your Buds, just make sure you Flush Good(after use) & dont use it too strong or for too long, ie- for more than 10days(thats Max). If you could give clearer pics others may be able to help too. G'Luck!

Take note: if buds are semi re-veg'ed your Trichomes will continue to develop & matue(so they are on schedual) but your buds/calyx are behind by weeks(and are not on schedual), end result is over ripe trichs & flavourless ruined unripe Buds, make sure you keep an eye on trich colour!
In future if you wanna add O2 to your res solution add H2o2(Oxy+) but only with Mineral based ferts, doesnt work with anything organic! Oxy+ works fine with VitalinkMax btw, i use it myself

 

[xeasyx]

thanks for the reply bobman i do it for the fun as long as i get anoth smoke to last me ,no one likes to lose a crop but we live an learn and hopefully next time round will be better but ill still finish this one like i said its only on about 10% so the rest seems ok but they do look a bit slow i think it will be longer then 8 to 9 weeks they go for ill go by the colour of the trichs as scrogerman advised and ive cut the worst part of we'll see if they start to get any better but there is anoth that is ok and im building a new 8 x 8 grow room which wont be ready for a fortnight so ill see this one through to the end
scrogerman thanks for all the help and info could you tell me what other things you use with the vitalink ,im useing vitalink bloom a+b plus vitalink buddy and in veg i use vitalink veg a+b plus vitalink bio something not sure about the full name without looking is there anything else i should be useing MHHSP thanks for stopping by and trying to help time will only tell if ive sovled the problem or not but if not its a lesson learned and we look forward to next time to see if we can get the ideal crop if not we'll have fun trying cheers
