"Elongating" buds?

[Lozt]

I have to agree with justaseed one of my first grows was in an attic and the first one ended in may. When I started the second It was almost june and the temps in the room were 90 or better every day. The first grow was amazing I did very well and I used the same ammount of light, the same fert., and same co2 methods the only thing that changed was the heat in the room. The budz looked whispy and long very little weight at all and it looked allot like yours.

Whats was the adverage temp of the room and what was the difference in temp between the day and the night cycle???

Lozt Reviewed by Lozt on 03-03-2007. "Elongating" buds? I don't know how else to describe this, but high up on some of my BB's it seems that stalks are growing out of the buds, with these thin "elongated" buds growing from the new stalks. I can't say I'm happy about this, the new growth is not dense at all and really weird. On a lot of these elongated portions, there are calyxes every few milimeters, but not the stacking up of calyxes that you'd want to see. At first I thought I might have a hermie problem, but the elongated buds have been here Rating: 5

yeah, temp problems were my original thesis on this.

When they started growing around new years it was cold as hell around here and my gro room temps never got above 78. Recently it's heated up a lot and after the lights have been on for about 6-8 hours it can get up into the very high 80s right by the light, if not 90 sometimes. The BB grew taller than I could handle on a flood table, even with only 1 wk of veg. I had another strain in the room which was much much much shorter than the BB, which I already harvested, and it didn't do any of the elongating. It was a crappy strain though, but that's another story....

yeah 4 sure its temp problems I had the same problems when I strted my first one it was arround dec too and by june I had the same problem on my second Heat is one of the biggest obsticles for an in door grower plants thrive between 76 and 84 F at 92 growth slows and at 98 it stops all togther

Good luck my friend and get the heat under control or you are gunna have the same out come

Take care LOzt

Naw bro I got your back.
Heat stress, word.

-fluffy wispy buds
-leaves cupping upwards, giving them a thin look
-discoloration at edges of cupped leaves

This just happened to me on my very first grow... I've been trying to find a post here to comment on it so that I didn't have to create another repeater thread .

For my first grow, I just did one female, cut some clones to veg, and then flowered her. I let her veg for way too long, and by the time she went into flower, her height was a problem. I bent her for a while, but she was outgrowing my room. The top bud ended up finished about 6" away from a 400W HPS. During the last few weeks, the top bud grew a weird "deformity". It looked like the cotyledon leaves that first come out from a seed, but they were raised up on a three inch stem.

I wasn't able to find any information on it at first, so I just harvested everything that was 18" or closer to the light. Since she was well over 2 meters, that wasn't a really big issue for me. I figured that the plant was using up resources making this weird deformity, so it was best to take it out.

A lot of the leaves and trichomes had been burnt a little bit, and I was worried that it wouldn't smoke well. I dried for a week and cured for a week, and I would say that it still smoked great. I'm an every day smoker, so if it gets me high for a few hours, we're doing great.

Anyways, I'm glad that I finally found someone that had this same issue. If you find that your buds are doing this, it is MOST DEFINITELY a heat stress issue! Like they say, your first grow is all about learning.... lesson learned!
