25 days flowering and brown hairs

What gives?! My buds are still tiny, airy and under developed. There are already a few small buds with browning hairs on them. Is this KOSHER or is something wrong? Could it be windburn? Pics in 5

More than likely, I would call it stress from either nutes, water, or the heat of being too close to your light (they are indoors, right?). The other possibility that I would take into account is that they could have pollinated. When a plant gets pollinated, the hairs turn brown and wither away.

Hmm. No males in the flowering room. Temps are always good. There is zero nute burn on any foliage. I'm stumped.

Do you ever come into contact with shitty quality or outdoor pot? Pollen has a way of getting around...

pistils die throughout the entire grow... its not uncommon to see dead pistils, that, within a few days, have regrown back to bright white ones..

they can also brown like that if you rub up against them or spray them with a spray... i have a couple girls that i brush up against while moving around in my grow room and the tips of them are the same way...

it could be "wind burn" if you have a fan trained directly on that plant all the time.. but it's unlikely..

either way i wouldnt worry about it as long as the buds are still growing..

I have had a few bags with some seeds here and there. It's all very high quality though. No reggies or mids ever.

Ohhhhh. I actually did touch these buds that are brown I think a day or two ago. I was seeing how dense they were. Only 3 areas out of like 50 have browning and I think its the ones I touched...

if thats the case then thats the cause

dude dont even stress, they'll be fine. you might wanna learn how to, or if already do know how, clip.. that way you get rid of those small buds towards the middle to bottom of the stems, and have one big bud per stem.

OK. There are 26 shoots all going straight up. Each shoot has about 5 small buds in the inter-nodes. Those are the ones that are packing on crystals right now.I want a bunch of colas not popcorn nugs, should I chop these lil fuckers off? Will that force more growth to the tops?

I use that trimming technique, but you should be careful taking too much off your plant at this point. I had two identical plants in flower a few harvests ago, one that was trimmed before it was put in and the other still bushy. At around 3 weeks, I decided to trim off the little nugs under the main canopy. Big mistake. The plant went into shock, and the bud development ceased to a crawl. When I harvested the two plants, one yielded a little more than 2oz of mini nugs while the other yielded 5oz+ of large colas. Just becareful of what you do to your plants once they are flowering.

A quick little insight to how I trim mine for big buds...

As they veg, I top them early on, usually once or twice, then let them grow natural. A week before the plant is ready to be switched to 12/12, I take a initial batch of clones using the branches from the bottom area. The next week, the day of transition, I go back through and take off all the other nodes that are below the top 1/3 of each branch. This clears 99% of the under growth by day 1 of flower. Then, over the course of the next 2-4 weeks, I watch for new emerging node sites and take them off as they come. This is my average plant:

Great info thanks man. +REP

ilove it!!!!

i got a question fo rya


so i topped my plant and it came out with 3 nodes ... im going to LST her the whole time shes in vegg and flowering gonna vegg for 2 months


my question is i see peoples lst with like 10 main tops (colas)... will mine be like that also or do i have to topp multiple times for em to be like that

I topped one time homie

You guys don't think it looks like she is slacking a bit? I think it should have fuller/larger buds by now...

Also, how much longer are you thinking? 4 weeks or so???
