You answered your own question. :thumbsup:
Your 15-30-15 nutrients might be force-feeding her too much nitrogen during flowering. 3.5 x 10 x 3.5 (about one quarter strength) is still a tad high. It (the overuse of nitrogen) stretches the plant making the buds appear straggly and they won't want to finish properly. Plus, you'll have a harder time flushing them before harvest, and you'll have to cure longer to remove the chemical aftertaste.
I would start thinking seriously about a good 3-part nutrient system. (3 1-quart bottles...$35.00 or so) Provides almost everything you need for nutrients and micronutes, and at the right NPK levels. Well worth the price, as the nutrients last me all year. :thumbsup:

No. Pistils are tubes that catch the pollen and transport it down into the calyx, where the seed forms. As the seed forms, the calyx will swell and develop a light (yellowish-white) 'racing stripe' along it's suture. As unseeded calyx's mature, they swell too, but no "racing stripe".

This could be from a number of reasons. From removing that cola's fan leaves, to position under the lights or in front of the fan(s).

At least a week or two of healing, plus likely a sluggish finish. Stress tends to stunt the ladies. Some gardeners use "supercropping" as a bulking technique, but snapping the cola is taking the technique a tad far, lol.
Rusty Trichome Reviewed by Rusty Trichome on . Broke Stem 4 weeks into Flowering -1st time grow, Healthy 14 week old plant, 5 weeks into flowering- Everything started off without a hitch, my little girl became a woman & then I broke her back :cursing: (main stem about half way up the plant), the repair went fine, this is not why im posting. Im posting because about 3 days after the brake I started noticing the lower branches growing as if I topped the plant. Now im affraid I may have destroyed my plants full bud potential or at least set it back a few weeks. Rating: 5
