Hey so i'm into week 5 of flowering and some of the buds appear to be shriveling it looks like. first 2 pics are of some of the buds starting to shrivel and go orange.
Rest are just some pics of my plants and what not :) its my very first grow so any help would be great!
thanks all
What kind of lights are you using?
400w HPS in a cooltube attached to cfm fan running about 270 (capable of 310 i think)
and an oscillating fan
also how much do you usually water plants that are that far into flowering? i don't really measure I just fill up a large watering can and refill for each plant.
How hot is it? Might be too much light and/or too much heat. Same was happening to me last summer. I took out my reflective material and added a can fan up top to push hot air out. It worked, but I'm running the wire this summer. Heat ruins things, the girls can't take too much light with any kind of heat.
i'm not sure i'm gonna try and find a temp/humidity meter today just hope Rona has em. Also its now happening to my other plant, the shorter one with alot of flowers, could they be turning orange as part of maturing? I only thought this because my skinny plant which appears to be lagging behind and just started showing buds has no sign of white hairs turning orange, but i turned up the fan speed for my cooltube to about 290 and opened up the air holes for intake a bit, hopefully that'll cool it down.
Also the odd thing is all these buds that are turning orange at the tips are in the middle of the plant. i've counted about 6 but the buds at the top of the plants closest to the lights are still very white. hmm i dunno
They actually look like they're doing ok. They may just be tightening up as they do in the last few weeks of flower. Are any of these autoflowers?
lol to be honest i'm really not sure. I just ordered some strains that sounded nice hehe. theres 1 Super Lemon Haze(skinnyone), 1 Double Blueberry(shorter one), and 1 Vanilla Kush(last pic). the sites says kush 9 weeks flower, haze 9-10 weeks, blueberry 9 weeks. so none should be autoflower
just got a digital thermostat and humidity reader today. Left it in there for 2 hours to get used to temp and its reading 71 degrees, and 44% humidity.
