Hey Guys I am going try be as easy specific as possible to help us both here

I Have 4 Unknown Strains In the same pot (Looks as if all same strain) i was given them at 3 weeks old long stretchy bendy seedlings,

They are flowering under x5 (100w equivalent) 23w Warm White CFL's

x2 (100w equivalent) 23w Cool Daylight CFL's

x1 (240w equivalent) 48w Warm White CFL

There Nutrients are NuLife Power Gro "Bloom A & B" Hydroponic nutes that i feed nearly every water at low Strength (Just enough to level water PH) Although i have doubled on watering and noticed its still possible to burn & Thats about it keeping it simple

Previous Issues:
-The Seeds Were started in Dirty Sand & Transplanted into Organic Mix 2 weeks before hitting flower room (Half Fixed)

-Iv Over Watered to point of gnats/Thrips in soil Not Entirely infested (Fixed)

-Iv Sprayed my buds for about 2 weeks with a mix of water & NSR boost juice = i was inexperienced on what i was doing, Boost Juice is just a Vitamin b1 (Thiamine)

Other then these few major problems Everything has gone Great, NOW to the juicy bits:

Q: I will post pics asap, Some of My Calyx/Hairs seem to be Drying light Brown/Cream & just falling off from several of my bigger buds (you CAN notice something is happening), We have had a couple hot days & the room may have hit about 35 to 40 Degrees Celsius with a small fan blowing within the room not on the plants. What could be causing this?

Iv Read it could be Over-Watering, Under-Watering, Heat, Possible hermie.

Second Q:
Because iv sprayed my buds with this silly thiamine & water mix, And NOT sprayed with clean water since then, Will the product stay on the buds or will the plant naturally clean itself out? "Eg, Store/drink it then flush it later itself" OR Will i have to spray it clean with water myself?

Iv Read Rollitup since i started this grow, & Only just registered

Hey man, post pics asap, that's the first thing people will ask for, and any time you are wondering something about my our plants go ahead and just take the pics and post them. Makes it way easier for everyone, and you'll get a lot more help/responses.

Anyways, I'll go and snap an example pic to see if I know what you're talking about, but I think I do-- is it mostly pistils on the tip top of the bud? I have it happen as well, almost positive that its from a little too much light/heat. I was having a lot of problems my first two grows at the beginning of flower; I would put my plants under my 1000 watt @ about 15" under the light, and the tops would start to yellow and the leaves would taco.

Anyways, lemme grab that pic and I'll hit you back

^Just for the record, when dealing with CFL the equivalent doesnt matter, just the actual watts.

You have foxtailing going on which is most likely directly related to your high heat issues.

Everything I have ever read about spraying buds says DONT DO IT.

You are probably overwatering them by spraying the buds, then that harsh heat is sucking it right out of it causing major issues.

Mm ok, well im literally thinking of harvesting soon, they seem real close, im guessing iv gotten away from total failure by spraying them late for a short period? Any earlier & id probably end up with bad bud

All I can say for certain, those high temps are a major problem.
In the future you need to come up with a way to not allow that to happen.

Ewwwww....spraying buds?

IAC, looks like you will have good resin. A wider view of the plant tells us more.

For light stress I check the new hair growth. If that is withering at the tip, first thing I think is the light is too close.

different strains foxtail according to genetics. it isn't always a heat issue. don't worry about the foxtailing. just try to harvest at the right time. its very difficult to judge because of the light you used to take the pix. it makes the triches look amber and because you didn't include much more of the plant it'll make guys think your plant looks done which it does. my advice is to get a magnifying glass and check for trich color. harvest before more than 5-10% goes amber. don't spray anything on your plants during late flower. you can wash it all off beforehand but it just complicates things. nice job for your first run. plus rep for you.

I see bannanas all over the place. Is it just me or does anyone else see it. I feel like I can almost see seeds too.

Oh yeah there are bananas all over, dropping off of the buds there are so many.
Gotta get that heat fixed.

Mostly great advice, but you know that is just a matter of taste? It is all according to what you are trying to do.

And the literature goes back thousands of years, in China, and in Africa, the Shaman healer, memorized verbatim knowledge is surely older than that.

Just try it yourself. I pick and smoke through out. Magnify it, dry it and try it.

Now, this is outside the light burned tricomes from bleached leaves, the HID way too close. I can't smoke that.

So, if you want a goofy, short lived high. Try some with only clear tri. If you need some that is very medical for a broken bone and rest, let it go till the amber is 80%+.

I pick when most are cloudy and only a tiny smattering are beginning to turn color. That is what I like.

After clear, you wiil never see only cloudy, or only Amber. New clear ones are formed. And they never go amber all at once.

Up to you, but generally for me, 15% amber is pretty stony, evening pot.

And btw, that plant is shooting nanners like crazy it looks like. Its a form of Hermie, those little banana looking things pop open and release pollen, which causes seeds. Pull them out with a tweezers if you have other plants in the tent without bananas.

By the way, i can guarantee there not nanners, this is just the way the strains growing, i can see them from miles & while inspecting every day iv not seen 1, This Strain has EXTREMELY Fruity colours, Red/Orange/Yellow/Green All Over, thick white Pistols & Delicious Amber Hairs

I also cant seen to get close & clear to the trichs with any Applications, Ill have to invest in a USB Digital Scope
