I have an OG Kush that is coming up on its last week before flushing and the buds don't seem very sticky anymore. They we sticky a couple weeks ago. She's in Hydro under LED lighting. Also I have two bugs where the tops are completely white. What is this? I will post a picture of it in a couple hours when the lights come on.
Stickiness question from a noob.

Sounds like they are too close to ur led like the whiteness is a sort of bleaching probably.....and if its no longer sticky maybe ur pH range is off or u dialed back ur feedings too much and too quick...neway its hard to tell with no pics...but that is my opinion thus far.

Yes, pics will help as it's so hard to provide good feedback without them

Why are you touching your buds in the first place, maybe they are no longer sticky because you been molesting them
Then the 2 bugs situation, what is this all about? you have it down to 2 bugs but yet you haven't kill the bastards yet? whatever they are destroy them without any remorse or hesitation.
Then you say the tops are white.....OMG I got to see a pic of this, I can not wait to see what nightmare of infestation is thriving in your plants

I haven't dialed back my nutes at all. PPMs were about 1200 for week 10. The lights are the same distance from the plant they have been for the past month. Hopefully when I post pictures in a couple hours it might help. I appreciate your ideas and maybe your right. We shall see.
lol BUDS not BUGS. It must be nutes I'm thinking. It is the only thing that has changed. PH was 5.7-5.8 and she has drank about the same amount of liquid she has in past weeks. about 3/4 gallon in 4 days.

That's a very small amount for a plant full bloom...
Are u sure the calibration of ur pH meter is on?

I thought it was best to keep the PH in hyrdo at 5.8?
I calibrated my bluelab PH pen just now and it was readying low. In 7.0 solution it was ready 6.7..... So you are right my PH is probably low for this last nute change.I will test and adjust when the lights come one.

Full on hydro like dwc yes 5.8 or coco 5.8 but if ur mocking soil its best to run around 6 with like perlite or vermiculite

But in flower it is best to swing ur pH a little higher then veg, for the nutes that are needed in flower are easier to get at a tid bit higher ph
Good to know. I will get right on that. Would PH of 6 or are we talking more like 6.2?

if you run your res at 1400 ppm you will not have a good harvest. read the posts they adjust from 600 to 1500 depending when they change their res solution. i hope you change it every 10 days or so. and how much oxygen are you adding via air stones ect. i hope tons.

There is your problem. Cut that shit in half and see what happens.
I have 4 4" air stones connected to a Hydrofarm 15lpm pump. I change the res every 9 days.
Really? I start with that PPM and add only RO water throughout the 9 days. I make sure the PH is still within range. I will check my PPM when I add water when I take pictures right now.

I'd swing from 6 to 6.2 its never good to keep ur pH at one constant number

And those look good my brethren I think the white ones just white due to plenty of resign

Maybe a little bleaching but all makes good for bag appeal, ah?lol
Thanks for the info. My PH was way off but now it is correct. Poor girl was being abused. I'm a terrible father!
Thanks! So I have nothing to worry about the white at the top? You think it is just tons of resign? The two that have the white are closer to the center of the light.
Thanks! Had some OG Kush in a joint last night and it was great. Hopefully mine smokes at least decent. I hope my lope comes in soon so I can get a closer look at my progress. I'll try to take pictures using the lope too.
