Hey you growing pro's! Non contest question about something I haven't seen before. I have this monster-cropped clone in mid to late flower.
The arrow is one of the lower "larf???" buds, about the size of a golf ball and growing.

All of the inner and lower tops look amazing like this and are still popping new leaves and calyxes.

But the 4 top cola show no growth whatsoever, and haven't since they started browning

Has anyone else seen this, and is it a sign of anything in particular? (I know I slacked on the cal-mag)

Here's a question, is the plant supposed to smell like weed when its flowering? My plant doesnt smell like weed, it smells chemically and like a barn yard. It does not have that nice weed smell. It's bag seed so I dont know what strain it is. Could it just be a garbage plant? I flipped it to 12/12 on Feb 17th.

Definitely garbage! Just chop it down and get it dry real good before you mail it to me :)
Many different smells while growing, and usually the unpleasant ones are the most fun. Skunk, diesel, etc. Some of the barnyard could be what you are growing in (the fertilizer and stuff)
try lightly running your finger on a bud, then smelling that. Should just be chemical then.

I was just looking at my schedule and my seedlings are due for water or feed on the 5th - which happens to be the beginning of the 4th week of the competition. Flipping on 5/9 (end of week 8 of competition) allows a full 10 weeks for flower, but I may not wait that long since I have small pots and don't want them rootbound by the end.

One thing I learned on my first small pot grow was that they need less water more often. I was following a checklist and doing feed-water etc. I got to week 4 or 5 on the flower schedule and was beginning to put late-flower type nutes in it and realized it had only been a 3 weeks since I flipped, and she was just popping pistils really good. Hashtag-stonermoment.

I plan to flip on May 1st and hopefully have a smoke report by the end. During this month of veg I want to see how much they drink and how often, and make sure I figure out a reasonable feeding schedule to get them the right stuff at the right time, at about the right level.

Very strange, let me know how it comes out in the end.

I'm basically going to ignore the tops and harvest based on everything else. It's all browning nice and even now, and there may be some new pistils popping right under the top leaves, but still nothing on the tops.
