So are you saying it is possible that the tops of the flowers could disintegrate off due to nute burn or a deficiency? Not that I doubt you since I'm still a newb. The plant was fine until after week 4 of flower. Last water change was 20 micro, 10 grow and 32 ml bloom which is half strength of...

I do not have pets and the closet stays locked. Unless there is a mouse about that I'm not aware of. Arrggghh. At any rate do you think she will still swell with the tops missing??? Just 3 more weeks to go!

Pic 1 shows really well how the tops have been taken off the bud. You can see the stems core. I just did a water change 2 days ago, so its not odd that I'd need to redial in ph. I did prune off dead and dying leaves at that time. hence the leaf cuts. I was thinking a nitrogen deficiency til...

first 3 pics show tops of buds missing and 4th pic shows bud in tact. Just adjusted PPM down from 1000 to 790 range. (I thought up to 1200 was ok???) Checked ph which had dropped to 5.6. Ph'd back up to 6.0. Lifted 600w HPS from 32 inches to 40 inches from canopy. With 3 wks from chop I...

PH kept at 6.0. it can go up to as high as 6.2 and as low as 5.6 between checks. Will lower PPM to 700 and see what happens. Pictures are not as clear as would like. Will try to get better pics. I am not finding the tops of buds on the floor either. They are gone/missing!!!. Its like...

Ok RUI, newbie really needs help here. 4th grow not going so well. Day 50 of flower since the flip. Running DWC, 600w HPS 12/12, 48% humidity. Room avgs 82-84 degrees. Water 71 degrees. PH 6.0 and PPMs under 1000. AN 3part Jungle Juice, kool bloom liquid and bud candy. I think something...

Thanks RIU - I appreciate all the advice on when she'll be ready. I'm still looking for opinions on my original question: if all the hairs are orange and curled in should I assume she's done all the swelling she's gonna do??? OR can she still do some swelling still?

Yes!!! learned a valuable lesson today to get & keep spare parts. Thanks Bros

Thanks RIU - for coming thru for a newbie in a crunch!!!!

Thanks so much Jimdamick! You were spot on. New 600w HPS bulb from my high @ss'd price hydro store $60 and I'm back in action. Going to ebay for spares now. You ROCK!!!! +rep!!!!

I switched the bulb with a 400w HPS and it also would not power on at all either. Would this be and adequate test or does it have to be a 600w bulb in the 600w ballast? Thanks. The ballast exhaust fan is running!!! add note: I also noticed now When the 600w is on intermittently the light...

Help Please! 35 days from flip. At lights on my 600w HPS light ( about 4 months old) burned a bit and went out. I replaced the bulb but nothing. Touched the cord and it came on for a few minutes and went back out. I was thinking short because it will pop on intermittently and go back out a...

Thanks guys. I asked because this grow, most of the pistols were orange and curled in on day 59 since the flip. Master Kush/DWC/600w. But calyxes didn't plump up like the 1st grow (400w) and the buds hadn't shown growth in a few weeks. Crappy yield this go. No change in method either...

111 views and only 1 opinion....really???? Come 'on RIU. Teach me! Please... *BUMP*

For a 60 day flowering - when is the swell expected? If the pistols have all turned orange and inward can I assume the swell has already taken place? Thanks.

Hmmm. never seen anything like that around here. Yet... a few ants maybe... Sounds like the tops of buds off isn't a common problem then???

Pics added now. Day 57 from the flip. Pics 6-10 show the bud tips missing. Whatever it is must come out at lights off!!! Thanks for any insights.
