New Bud Growth Week 9???

[jHands]

First time growing this cross. It formed massive, near symmetrical colas right away after the flip. They kept swelling through week 6-7, and then stalled while the pistils started to turn orange. During week 8-9, the buds started to put out off shoots, almost like a crown. My grow environment is solid and everything is dialed. The only adjustment I’ve made is cooling off the day and night time temps by about 4-5 degrees each to promote color expression, but this was after the buds started to shoot off these spikes. New daytime temps are 76 and night time is 68. That’s down from 80 and 71. I’ve been scoping the trichs all along, and they’ve never gotten cloudy enough to harvest - currently right around 30-40% milky. The new growth sites are covered in trichs, and are shooting out fresh white pistils it seems. What’s going on? Good? Bad? Let them ride? Harvest now? I’ve seen flowers do this before on the net, but never grown anything that does this before so it’s new to me.

I’d let em ride for a minute and let the inside of the buds fill out some more myself

You sure this isn’t hermaphroditism? It may not show based on the photos, but these colas are massive and dense already - you can see some in the background of these images.

Image 3 shows two spikes shooting off at the “130” position of the bud.

I have seen similar ,It was a little odd to say the least, but it was only on one bud weird this is around 6-7 weeks new strain Wedding Cake ,can’t even remember what come of it

I’ve also got the “bananas” popping out in some areas. Wonder if I just pushed them too long?

 

[NGA]

Nope not from extra flower time ,I have a quite a few of different strains going ,I have two that throw banana’s late in flower sometimes two or there very few ,but what I get from them in terms of quality I just can’t throw them out , like each bud weigh 6-10 gram dry ,a lot of people probably have the odd banana and just don’t even see them not a big deal

So I don’t run the risk of pollination from the bananas?

 

[NGA]

Have a good look at you plant ,I really don’t think it’s possible this Late in flower if you find some they been there for some time

Maybe foxtailing I don’t know I just read a thread on it and it looks similar

It’s foxtail. The nanners and the foxtail from stress most likely. Maybe light leaks. Older thread.

Too much N can do it too

@jHands Hey man! Your plants look good and they are still very dense.

The fact that you have a little bit of foxtailling going on can be caused by 2 things.

1) Genetics: some strains always devellop foxtail buds at the end of their flowering cycle.

2) heat stress: When the temps are too high, plants are more prone to foxtailing. You said that the plants started doing that before you lowered the temps.

As far as the nanners, if a strain isn't sexually stable, most plants tend to throw a few nanners at the end of the cycle. The heat stress may have also amplified that..

Cheers,
