Orange Stipules

[CarlitoTheGreat]

My stem pistils are turning orange and I’m just wondering if that’s normal because I’m still early in veg and I thought they were supposed to be white right now, is it the strain are my nute ppms too much ??? Is it the mycorrhizae I put in about a week ago? Is she dying or what? Am I scary ass newbie or what? Someone also told me I can’t see pistils this early so if that’s the case what am I looking at then?

Not pistils, stipules. It looks like maybe they were damaged when you topped her. Your pistils will come from a caylx.
Welcome, I encourage ALL new growers to read almost anything by Ed Rosenthal, or Jorge Cervantes. I'm sure there are other good authors out there but these are my go to, always available mentors.
This is an ugly little bud but should help you with identifying pistils. Everyone of those round pointed things (caylx) will have a few hairs (pistils) coming from them. Research is never wasted energy.

I finally get it now sorry u had to dumb it down for me , but now I understand the anatomy

I’ve been doing a lot of research I’m just still learning and confusing everything

I hope you're not researching on youtube. If you are stop. Most of that stuff is bad information.

I agree with this. I'm not sure why but YouTube is flooded with mixed and conflicting information.

Why picking leaves and tops, you got cat? Eating plants? Are you eating them? Stop and let them grow. Every leaf counts. By bending it over you can break atypical dominance in a few days, using string or wire in a few days, picking them just slows it down. My opinion only.

And growers who fry the fuck out of their plants with too many nutrients.

Be careful with articles as well. Some are just quotes and cut and paste from other places. And some is written by those with no actual education in plant science or any actual real world experience actually growing cannabis. Many articles from cannabis publications are mostly advertisements for specific products. I would suggest researching non cannabis specific plant science as there is much more informative information regarding plant nutrition, and other topics that are based on science and can be applied to cannabis. There is lots of good information and studies out there done by people with PhDs and experts in plant science.

There is nothing special about the cannabis plant. It's an easy plant to grow that needs the same things other plants do and will thrive by just treating it like a normal plant. You'll just get distracted by all the cannabis broscience out there watching youtube and reading Maximum Yield articles.

Pretend it's a tomato. Feed it, water it, leave it alone to grow.

Great post it says almost everything.

Truth is that for those of us that love doing this, there is a desire TO DO THINGS and in truth we need bigger grows, lol. It is fun to grow and I think too much staring, thinking and then doing IS the major cause of issues.
But in most of life we dont do enough, that's the real irony of doing too much to the grows.

Probably the best advice on here. I personally found that the older litterature contains the better knowledge from educated agricultural people and not bro science warriors growing in their closet. Cheers!
