the other ones are a little taller, about two inches, so if it was the light I would think all 3 would look like that. maybe my garden gnome will work some magic lol.
I'm off to look up gnome names...
It can be a bunch of things. As mentioned it can be in a hot spot.
I'm clarifying that because height isn't the whole deal. That bud looks like it's in a hot spot.
Or it could be from nutes. I've seen bloom boosters do that. How much LKB are you using? & Bloom?
If it gets seeded up I've seen a similar effect. But you look good regarding that.
I have to agree with
@gardnguyahoy , it looks like it's just too hot, which will burn the pistils.
Also, different strains react differently to the heat. I had a very hot tent one run, I was trying to find my way with co2. The WW did exactly what you are seeing. But the WW has a ton of pistils, they all burned/browned. Other plants in the same tent had no problems with the heat.
Then last run I had Tangerine Dream, & it died from the cold (61*) dead as a door nail. But it would take all the heat you could throw at it. I swear you couldn't get it hot enough...it just wanted more more more.
This is why people run the same strain so many times & take meticulous notes, many choosing to only work with 2-3, period! It took me a few runs to figure out the WW cut I had, could not take the heat. She was like me in the summertime in FL....just miserable. Give her 75* & she will go ballistic!!
The Tangerine Dream was the opposite. She
wanted Florida in the summertime. Make it too cold & she will up & die on you.
Notes, notes, notes. Today was a good day to try it for me due to the weather...I made it especially hot in the tent, up to 90* Left it for an hour & went & checked, none of the plants I am running now were happy with that. Growth became smaller, & shriveled...less vigorous. Now I know, 90 is
way too hot for every one of those plants. They will tolerate 85, (it's not unusual for plants to be happy in the same climate, nor unusual to be unhappy) but all of them really like 77-80, & they all tolerate 61*, even though at this time of flower, I don't want that temp. But I need to know, because if something happens, I need to know if they will be alright on their own.
In other words, I'm not going to run Tangerine Dream when it's possible the temps may drop to 61, because I know it's going to be very unhappy. I would run that one in hotter weather because it responds well to it.
