Vegative growth in mid flower?

[StonyV]

I am a reletively experienced grower that has a small simple closet setup. I have two plants (different strains). I have had them on the same water/feed scedule since day one and have used the same in many grows incedent free. They have been in flower stage for 4 weeks. One is flowering excellent, the other started fine but now it seems to be elongating at the top of the buds as if it was starting to veg again. I had this happen at one other time were my timer broke going unoticed for two days. I know 100% that light interuption has not occured here. This plant shows sign of nitrogen overload. I just flushed and discontinued feeding. Could too much nitro cause this to happen? Any imput is appreciated. Thanks.

Man i have a plant that is doing the same as its mother did, before a virus killed her. But the clone was taken before the virus started. But id like to know if this is my issue. But iv never heard a plant go back into veg while in 12/12, well in less the seed was originally grown in different environment. Like an F-1 seed, i think? The seed might need some funky light cycle to flower like a tai<sp strain might. A strain grown on its original land race my not grow in a different light cycle/environment. Thats really doesnt sound right, maybe someone will stop in man and make sense if i made any, but strain would cause this and every seed is different, so if you dont know genetics, there are some things you will never know.

Id like to post my plant or if you want to take a look in the plant problem sec. which might be here, lol. Can you post your plant. Im curious what its looking like.


Good luck:rasta:

This plant is a clone from a reliable source. Strain is Cali Kush. It is possible that its genetics but seeing knowone else has had a problem I see it to only be in the nutrients. Just curiouse if anyone has seen this happen. It is starting to concern me.

Is it forming "Donkey ears"? or as I've always called it "Foxtailing"?

Or is it stretching and growing more leaves again at the internodes?

that's a helluva lot of nitrogen for flowering. But other than that it looks like you should be ok.


Got any pics of what your girl is doing?

Trying to post picts. Not very good with the computer stuff.
I usually use a 6-15-30 in flower but I'm out. This plant has 6 tops on it and this only seems to be happening to one of them more than the others. My concern is that this thing may turn hermie or something weird. I haven't ever seen this happen. It isn't getting full leaves just single blades (Donkey Ears?) This particular top started well like the others but is now 8-10inches taller than the rest and not getting tight at all. Still tryin to post pict.

Man not sure but you may need 50 posts before adding pic's. Might check that out. But my plant is getting the single blades a top and just continues to grow, but not fatten up. Maybe it looks like the tops of my plant. This was a clone taken before the mother plant got the virus, just a thought. Might look to see if its close to your issue.
