Flowering - bad buds... Any help.

[Van X Man]

Super Skunk, 4 weeks into flowering. Buds ain’t growing as expected, very few pistils. Leaves show something’s wrong, but WHAT?!?

Can we get a white light pic? Hard to tell anything under those lights.

Plant watering to much heat n air flow may be hot boxed. Or not enough light to much heat

Either some sort of deficiency or just strain related. I've seen some low yielding strains/phenos before.

It's only 4 weeks into flower.

Will do on Sat... Away on vacation right now.

I have 3 plants in the same tent, planted/flowered same time, same strain (Super Skunk from same seed packet), same nutes, same light/humidity/temps. The other 2 plants are happy as pigs in sh!t, this one plant is not. Pics of the other plants show the difference...

See #7 above. By itself, dunno what to expect, but compared to the other 2 plants, something has gone askew... Pic was taken on same day/time. It’s not tent-location specific as branches in SCROG are all over the place. It’s definitely the plant itself...

Here you go, pic of great buds, pic of weird buds! Same seeds, tent, everything!

Nowt wrong with them

You check for pollen sacks? Pretty early for browning pistils unless you have been handling them.

Not handled much, but had to re-SCROG 2 weeks into flower. But same for all 3 plants, and the other 2 are fine.

have checked for pollen sacks, nothing found. But will go check again!

Genetics. What’s the soil? Too much nitrogen?

All 3 plants are the same Super Skunk, in BioBizz light soil with BioBizz nutes. The other 2 plants are great, using same tent/nutes/light. That’s what’s confusing me

Don't matter about food really , 1 might lake more food than the others , that's for you t judge

Take a cutting of the mutant and keep it alive. Maybe the smoke will be mutant as well. Or maybe it will double in size in the last 2 days and you might want to breed with it.

Just seems like a pheno issue

That lighting makes it hard to see

Always look at the bright side of life...
IT'S A FREAKY MUTANT!!!
Hmmmmm, will it make ME a freaky mutant if I smoke it???


And if it DOES make me a freaky mutant, it needs to make EVERYONE one!

Yeah, probably...

In my pursuit of answers, I have stumbled across one or two similar-ish looking Super Skunks on some grow diary sites, so it's not a crazy weird unheard-of mutation. However, they were typically from first-time or novice growers (which I am as well), so either it's a pheno issue or we made the same mistakes (not wholly unlikely).

But again, if all 3 plants were the same, ok whatevs! But the fact that 2 are perfect and one is weird, in the same tent with same lights/temps/humidititties/nutes/ph/airflow/etc, leads me to think it's pheno more than eff-up!
