What's Wrong With These Buds?

What is your ppm before going to the RO? Is your ppm meter calibrated?

What medium and pot size?

The light leak is very bad. The way photos work indoors is you need to give them 12 hours of uninterrupted dark time. Plants don't sense light the same way we do. What is dark to you is not dark to a plant. And what's dark to an inside plant is different for an outside plant. A plant will grow in a dark basement with just a tiny bit of light. I've thrown plants in the trash and found them alive and well weeks later...in the trash! If you have a 1" gap of light, the plants are seeing it. I'm not saying that's your problem, but it could be...and needs to be fixed no matter what. Or run autos. But that light leak must stop. Your pic, it looks like it's possibly revegging.

The other thing is a pest of some sort.

I wish I could answer you for certain. One thing I know for certain, you have to eliminate that light leak.

Like I said, it was indirect, and is is already taken care of....AND I have the same issue in my other room, with no light leaks....I don't think it's reveg.

Hmmm, sounds more like bug poop than trichomes. Is this possible?

Right? The bud was nice and sticky and hairy....then the hairs shriveled up and the Sicky went away....I'm left with the garbage in the picture

They remind me of mini baby pineapples....that's what they look like. Sort of waxy and pointy. Garbage.

Looks like re-veg from your light leak to me. You say the leak is on the bottom of your room, and the affected buds are only the lowest ones? Plus it's the same on different strains? If it is re-veg, and you fix the leak, it could extend your flower time on those. I had a pin hole leak thru the foundation and my lights are off during the day. That was enough to slow a few of my plants down and they started throwing dark waxy leaves like that with no trichomes. They took almost 10 weeks on a strain usually done in 8.

What is the ppm of your water before the RO? And is your ppm meter calibrated? Leaving the RO at 290 with new filters is extreme.

You gotta get in and scope those problem areas. If it's a bug, you want to catch it asap.

If you find out for sure what it is, I'm curious.

See #7. Also, I've been using way more pH down than my last run....but if my RO if screwed up than maybe I actually should.. maybe I got a bad batch of pH down lol! But it's super sketchy. All I can do is read the numbers and go by what the meter says.

I have to ask the obvious, your ph meter is calibrated right? Thay do go bad after awhile.

I'm wondering what the extra phosphoric acid/mono-ammonium phosphate & citric acid is doing. Any leaf-yellowing with downward-pointed leaves?

I haven't done the ppms on my tap water in a while, but I'm gonna say more than 700....yeah....I calibrate my meter....it's a bluelab combo, so I'm pretty sure I don't need to calibrate my ppms....just the pH....it could be bad I guess.....but I feel like something would have shown during veg.... My actual RO filter might need replacing, but since the plants are used to this water I'm not trying to stress them by totally switching it out. I just changed water in my reservoirs a week ago...so far plants seem to be doing alright since I chopped off all the bad....

It's hard to separate problematic yellowing from normal leaf death at this point....I only have a couple weeks left, and leaves start to yellow and die off....my two worst plants were did have an unusually large amount of dead leaves....but I chopped probably half of both of those, and now they seem pretty stable, bare but stable. So yes, there definitely is yellowing of leaves, I can't say for sure if they are specifically downward pointing.

My mentor is looking into what this could possibly be. It is very strange indeed. I will definitely post if I ever find out what happened and went wrong. It sure scared me though. I lost some weight for sure, but I no longer think the whole crop is lost.

3 weeks left to go on my least affected tables!

i experienced simmilar symtems a few years back but not as bad, ok my plants not me.
i put it down to root rot, it can effect the flowers at the bottom first. since then i make sure my pots dry out enough between watering.
try cutting a stem across with a razor and inspect the cells. look for discolouring.....brown....redish....etc, could find some clues!
 
#34
U sure its not bugs? Take a scope to it, def not reveg lol people are jus saying whatever pops in their heads apparently and i dont think it is water issue if tge majority of tge plant isnt infected

I have already inspected my rockwool....my roots are white and happy as can be....I'm not growing in soil. Thanks for the idea.

Thank you. No, I'm not sure it's not bugs....my mentor will be checking this weekend....I'm still learning lol!....definitely not bugs visible to the naked eye though...I only have some fungus gnats, but not bad....pretty standard using rockwool with zero pesticides... I'll definitely make sure he thouroghly checks for bugs though.

Ugh and the problem children...WW 3 weeks left....SLH 5 weeks left. And I know the widow looks like it's stunted...it's had issues from the beginning.

I do not flush my plants when I change water...only before harvest....just clean my tanks and fill them and add new nutes
