I've never seen this before. It looks like half of the plants in my garden are affected. The white hairs at the very beginning of bud formation look burnt or singed. In some cases, the bud has no white hairs, just a small amount of bud formation. While some plants in my garden are thriving, displaying white hairs about a 1/2" long, these other ones look like they are dying. All of my leaves, stalks, roots, look very healthy. I grow in a NFT system, using a diluted bloom solution of Botanicare nutrients.
Yes, one of my plants did herm on me and exploded a big ol sac of pollen. I can see that seeds are forming within the immediate area of that pollen sac. But looking just inches away, the buds don't seem to be pollinated. But, moving 4-5 feet away (down wind from my fan) the newer plants in the garden are suffering from this odd problem.
Could my new plants been pollinated? How come it's only a certain number of plants? Why aren't I seeing more bud growth? If they are pollinated, they should continue to grow. I'm thinking that something else is wrong here. I've seen pollinated stigmas before and they look like a dead white hair, or red/brown hair. In this case, the hairs look burnt, like someone took a torch to them. And the buds seemed to stop growing.
Temps: 60 night, 65-70 Day
Lights 2 - 1000wt HPS about 16" from plant tops
Strain - Purple Kush and Orange Widow
Pests - white flies, but minimal
What is going on here??? Someone please help me troubleshoot this.
