Hey growers, I'm 50 days into flower. First time growing feminized. Does the top of this flower look right? Btw, I don't see any amber trichomes yet...
Wow what a great first run! Lucky joe, hope your next will be good as this one.Hey growers, I'm 50 days into flower. First time growing feminized. Does the top of this flower look right? Btw, I don't see any amber trichomes yet...
Thx, I think I'll raise the lights up to 10 or 12 inches above to keep them less stressed. These are feminized so I'm hoping no nanners show up of course. What do you do if they do show up? That would mean it's either a male or a hermi?Wow what a great first run! Lucky joe, hope your next will be good as this one.
Yeah all look good, just keep an eye open for nanners which can appear almost anytime if the plant get stressed too hard.
Nanners look more yellow than pistils, and sometimes a tricky to detect.

Keep on growing, amber will show up soon.
Sativas need much more time to ripe as indicas maybe y keep that in mind for your next run.
If y want to force them to finish faster, y can reduce the light hours and a little intensity which leads the plants to ripe faster(winter's comming)
Cheers
Thanks, I need to raise the lights. I'm running below 80F and about 70 at night. 45RH. Good airflow and exhaust.Looks like you have some "fox-tailing" going on in the one bud.
It can be in the genetics or stress induced.
As already stated, awesome 1st run! From the web:
fox-tailing in cannabis buds can be normal, but it can also indicate environmental stress or genetic traits, depending on the situation.
What is Fox-Tailing?
Fox-tailing refers to the formation of elongated, spiky, or irregular bud growth where calyxes stack in a stretched, uneven manner instead of forming a dense, compact nug.
Causes of Fox-Tailing
- Genetics (Normal)
- Some strains naturally produce fox-tailed buds, especially sativas and certain exotic or landrace genetics.
- Examples: Thai, Haze, and certain hybrid strains tend to develop fox-tails as part of their normal bud structure.
- Environmental Stress (Abnormal)
- Excessive Heat: Temperatures above 85°F (29°C) during late flowering can trigger fox-tailing as the plant tries to keep growing to escape the heat.
- Light Stress: Too much light intensity (e.g., strong LED or HPS lights too close to the canopy) can stress the plant, causing it to stretch unnaturally.
- Unstable pH or Nutrient Issues: Excess nitrogen in late flower or imbalanced feeding can contribute to stress-induced fox-tailing.
Is Fox-Tailing Bad?
- Genetic fox-tailing? No problem—it’s just how the strain grows.
- Stress-induced fox-tailing? Could indicate suboptimal conditions, but it doesn't necessarily ruin the buds.
- Potency & Quality? Fox-tailed buds are still potent, but they may be less dense and harder to trim.
How to Prevent Stress-Induced Fox-Tailing
- Monitor grow room temperatures (keep it below 80°F during late flower).
- Adjust light intensity (raise the lights if buds are too close).
- Ensure proper airflow and ventilation to avoid heat pockets.
- Maintain balanced nutrients and pH levels (avoid nitrogen-heavy feeding late in bloom).
Nice room full of colasHey growers, I'm 50 days into flower. First time growing feminized. Does the top of this flower look right? Btw, I don't see any amber trichomes yet...
They also can show up on a over ran plant, AKA plant determines it’s near end of season and starts pushing nanners to produce pollen to sustain the species (herm / self pollination) I’ve ran a few to that point just to see how long that can feasibly go.Wow what a great first run! Lucky joe, hope your next will be good as this one.

I gotta get some bubble bags but I’ve been using all my larf and sugar leaves for dry sift latelyNice room full of colas
You can prop them ones up with canes or use yo yo’s
12 inch is to close
Aim for 24-36 with it dimmed
The small buds & suger leaves you can turn into hash
I use bubblebags for that but there’s many different ways just bubble is my fav as it’s really strong & has a nice taste Plus I like hash & where else ( in the uk ) can you get good hash
I've definitely had the lights too close, close as 4 inches. One good thing though I haven't had the lights up to 100% because it's generates too much heat.Nice room full of colas

I do see new white pistols probably because I had the lights too close. But these are feminized so that's a lot less unlikely, true?They also can show up on a over ran plant, AKA plant determines it’s near end of season and starts pushing nanners to produce pollen to sustain the species (herm / self pollination) I’ve ran a few to that point just to see how long that can feasibly go.
If you push to this point you probably also see new white pistils forming (to receive the pollen to self pollinate)
Is that just fallen trichomes from when you clip the buds? Looks tasty!I gotta get some bubble bags but I’ve been using all my larf and sugar leaves for dry sift lately
As soon as I raised the lights they started smelling sweeter. No kidding.Nice room full of colas

Thx, I'm hoping! It's been a lot of work.So what strains do have going
Looks like your in for a nice harvest
Thanks, it'll be interesting to see how they all mature. So far no amber up front but I'll have to dig into it and spin that big 25 gallon pot around, carefully! And one more week it'll be 8 weeks I wonder if having them tight to the lights stunted their maturity.I could see you had two at least the room must be smelling nice
They change in smell as they go along towards the end the smell gets really heavy then seems to stop until you harvest them oh my close the windows.
I grew runtz a while back it’s a heavy yeilder.
Blue dream not yet & the watermelon is new to me
The blue dream taste sounds nice & the watermelon is a candy kush cross witch im smoking now lol
Enjoy the adventure bud
The grow area is about 4x4 ft the whole room is 10x4 ft. I should have put the door in the middle then just on one of the ends because then I could grow on both sides. Instead of jamming six into one side I have two on one side and two on the other.I can only see the 2 plants up front in 5 gallon buckets. Behind them must be the 25 gallon you mentioned. How far back does the closet go???
