HELP pistils turning more red/brown then white too early

my girl has about another 3-4 weeks of flowering and her hairs are turning fast and she is startin to swell up alittle fast but the yeild isnt what it should be and im alittle over halfway threw 12/12...could anyone know the cause of premature or fast ripining?

dont go by the hairs to determin whether they are ripe. go by the trichomes. the last 2 weeks of flowering is when your colas will grow the most. dont worry about the pistils i have had whole plants that the pistils turned brown on halfway through flowering and they produced quite well. always go by the trichomes for ripeness

i know they arent done but it seems like growth has slowed down and they are just getting alittle fatter. but they are no were near done

post picture?

yea post a pic plz

cool, thats actually happening to mine atm too bout 20% of them are orange(hairs) and ive got 3/4 weeks left buds still getting bigger by the day so i wasnt really worried, and the trichs are stil clear like you said

yea i never go by the pistils i always go by trichs i wait till just a few of the trichs are showing amber. then i know they are ripe. here is a couple pics of my white rhino 3 weeks into floweringView attachment 1756993View attachment 1756994View attachment 1756995

so i had to bring my baby inside. Here are some pictures of what i mean i let her get drenched in the rain we had a few days ago and dried her off with some sun and a fan after that is when she got that way.also those leaves a def?

plants look nice you will have leaves turn yellow during flowering quite common. from what i see they look fine. i didnt realize you had them outside. the high temp outside will cause pistils to turn quicker. whats the strain?

also letting them sit in the rain really screws up the trichomes. when mine start to flower i totally stop foliar feeding because not only will it disturb the trichomes but it can cause bud rot. if you grow them inside keep them inside. some strains do not react well to the outdoors

i had gotten a strain from a grower in cali..she said she had a 91 canna cup winner og kush that hermed and a matnuska thunderfuck that got pollinated.yeah the plants developed alot of resin already and shined in the sun like someone blew powdered diamonds on it. and the def in it i def need help with it is absolutely a problem because it s happening in 2 different places and in those places 2 other things happened..

1.fan leaves have been dying up the main shoot almost to the top.Side shoots also have been effected.What looks to be a calc,mag, or N def
2.What looks to be a iron, or zinc def on the tops effecting parts of leaves, older ones started to get rusty spots on them and dye kinda likedef stated above.
3 Ph is in 5s but its organically fed soil. Happy Frog fruit and flower, Budswell.Also infused with mycro,great white, and mother earths liquid compost(Ben soil microbe tea) bacteria/fungi..few teaspoon to gallon ratio molasses

Hope that this could solve my 3-4 started threads so i could close them and solve the problem. and ps. i have once mixed in baking soda to up the ph to higher 7s in attempt to bring the soil ph up.but with the amount of microbes in there i was told not to worry about it being in 5s as the bacteria will keep shit real.
NOTE !!! picture 4 is older and pic 5 is what it turned into

this is my 3rd time growing this strain and each way was different.what my take on it is that in rains in nature and you can still get some great trics....they deff dried off so im not worried about bud rot or anything but i was under the influence that the elements is what causes tric production as its a deff against bugs,rain,heat, etc.im not saying go douse you plants cause by all mean im not into foliar while in flower

try this site there is alot of valuable info on def. you should be able to decifer exactly what is goin on since you have the plants in front of you. hope it helps http://www.gardenscure.com/420/plant-nursery/100730-marijuana-deficiency-grid-troubleshooter.html

yea you will still get decent trich development with them in the weather just not as significant as when they arent in the weather. i used to grow outside in the weather but after growing indoors and seeing a significant difference in trichs i stopped growing outdoors.

if i do it indoors i gotta go with cfls and i didnt get the best yeild last year with them bad boys though it was fun

yea i only use CFLs for clones and seedlings. get ya a HID they do wonders. i run 1000 watt setup and it only ups my power bill about 30 bucks a month.

i mean those things are where it puts me with the info and pictures, but still havent been able to figure out a curative...i transplants a couple weeks ago in its first 10 days of flowering and mixed in the slow release stuff i mixed in a little much but im sure it needs it..i also blended the food up to a more powder form...it seems like a low dosage of molasses would be a cure all for these problems. any takers?

i can only stealth lst with the cfls if im not doing that im bringing them outdoors for full day sun and indoors for flowering. so this one is the outdoor route

i dont like molasses but the sugars and carbohydrates really help. i suggest either sugar daddy or liquid karma. transplanting them could have really stressed them and could be part of the problem. i would definitly feed them sugar daddy or liquid karma

Hey guys, nice looking plants, some strains swell earlier than others, they dont look swollen yet so problems aside they will probably push out another flush of new pistils adding more yeild to your bud.

If there were problems, recently i overferted and buds stopped dead, then this could be why growth has dropped off but i never really get early swelling when i get problems so i hesitate to add anything here.

I use 2 x 250 watt cfl's for flowering, one red and one blue and run a packed flowering room, when the light penetration drops of so dose my bud size, probably got 15cm of good workable light before penetration is halfed by the canopy of leaves. I top em early, pinch em, lst em and flower them early, bigger plants equals bigger top buds to me but i need a quick turn around so i only veg for 3/4 weeks under 4 t5's.

I have a 125 watt cfl but that sucks!lol! Peace

well i have botanicare sweet, unsulphered molasses,gypsum, and epsom salt.
Who wants to ake a crack at a formula haha.

And if anyone cared about Hurricane Irene so far just a shit ton of rain and some okay winds...nothing big yet.Pray
