It sucks to have anything go wrong in a grow, especially this far in. I think it will only show on that one top.... I had that issue as well, two grows ago. Mine showed up with about 3 weeks to go and I was terrified it was some bad omen. The top quit developing, and never regained color. At the time, I wrote it off as a fluke. Now that it has happened again and jogged my memory of the event, I wonder if it isn't something more common that we can prevent? I'm sure I have a pic of it somewhere, I'll have to look for it.
Jim, is your plant pushing up your screen? I think mine is. It almost looks like I need to deflate it. I think next time I should weigh it down in the center? I could also run a bungee down the middle to add support there, but I think a strong plant will still move it. My oldest plant has over 30 new growth tips on it and we haven't even flipped lights yet.
Also, after some more research and reading, I'm going to change my earlier advice about just giving the plants straight water in the end days.... By doing so, we lock out nutrients that are used to break down sugars and chlorophyl, etc. We need to make sure we are feeding the molecular processes, but maybe not as much. I'm going to just start backing off my nutrients in the end and maybe stop at 500 ppm? I'm also hearing that we should unplug the air pump for the last 2 days and let the plant drown to start a fermentation process?
