PLEASE HELP. WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY FLOWERS! Same age, same nutrients.

[cody.young11]

So during veg I used Fox Farms Grow big, that's it. Then Starting at week 2 of flowering I have begun using this list of nutrients, I will show you. Now one plant of the 5 has the majority of the flowering issues, but they all have a branch or two with flowers that seem to be maturing too fast. I don't know how to describe it, like the hairs are turning orange too quickly on some buds, while others are white like they should be at this stage. There is a picture where the same branch has a bud with white and a bud with burnt orange. almost as if I left them on until week 11 or something and the trichomes have started to decay.

Oh I know my SCrog is messed up, my plants grew WAY taller than I planned on with my wood stakes, so it is what it is. This was my first year trying SCrog. I also know I have way too much foilage, but I am in school and didn't keep up with it more than lollipoping and then two rounds of pruning.

Can anyone tell me why this is happening so early? I am maybe in week 4 of flower and here outdoor in colorado they go into week 10.

Took the words outta my mouth. +1 scope for mites. Take this one as a learning curve and scope your other plants.

Update everyone. So I've gone through one spray of neem oil back in week 2, that killed a ton of them, but then I read you don't want to spray neem oil past week 2 if not at all. So I stopped and I have been buying predatory mites. It has been a battle. I've gone through about 15,000 mites over the past month and a half, one winter storm here in Denver where I had to build a make-shift greenhouse and I have cut out a shit load of branches too heavily infestied. I have some beautiful buds coming in if my predator bugs can just hold on another few weeks. Here is what the russet mites look like magnified under a microscope. You can see the bad and the good buds. I still have like 3 more weeks

You can't put sulfur on buds though. You can't smoke sulfur
