Sorry up front for no pix. Here we go...I am 21 days into flowering two strains, White WidowxPower Plant and NYCDxSweet Tooth #3. and over the last week I have noticed that my pistils have been turning a darkish brown, black and dying back, or simply emerging as a blackish nub of a hair. This is occurring on both strains(which have never displayed this before) but more so on the NYCDxSweet Tooth #3. The new growth around the buds seems to be an abnormal golden color and the leaves are wrinkled, leathery and some are cupped up and some are curled under. All the other leaves, roots, and stems on both strains appear wonderful, vibrant, and healthy, w/ fan leaves reaching skyward daily. Growth of both plants and buds seem as good. or better, than ever. Except...there has been some light bleaching. I am in a 3'5"x3'5" area w/ limited vert. space so I have my 600w HPS only 5 or six inches from the top of the plants. It is glass encased and vented by 435 c.f.m. in-line fan. I also have a small fan moving air into the space. The temp. never gets above 85 or 86 degrees farenheit just below the glass, but I realize that is a lot of light intensity.
I am running an aeroponic system and my nutrient rundown goes like this: 10ml/g Botanicare Powerflower, 10 ml/g Blastoff, 15ml/g Pureblend Original (flower), 10 ml/g Sweet, 5 ml/g Hydroplex (starting on day 15 of flowering), 7 ml/g Hygrozyme, and 10 ml/g 3% hydrogen peroxide (which is approved for use w/ Hygrozyme). P.h. is maintained vigilently at 5.8-6.0. The only thing I have done differently is, last week, at the end of week two, I changed the resevoir (which I do every two weeks, and keep full by replacing water with 10-20% nutrient levels every few days) and sprayed the plants w/ the micronutrient spray, Spray-N-Grow. It was after this that noticed my pistil problem. Could the light intensity caused by my light being so close, coupled w/ being sprayed by drenching mist of water cause my beautiful little white hairs to react so adversely? Is this an external factor? Is this some sort of defeciency or overdose? Stitch...GrowDoc...I need a Ganja Jedi for this one! Thanks for listening
