Early browning pistils

girudai · Aug 14, 2017

Hello Community,

So I was growing two plants in DWC setup under 140w LED lamp.

I have 2 plants: 1. blueberry cheesecake, 2. lemon kush (pictures).
All was growing fine (despite few times of nutrition burn in veg).

I set it up for flower ~3 weeks ago. Few weeks after that some pistils started to show up. Then I went on holiday and now when Im back I see that the hairs are turning brown on most of the flowers (pictures attached).
Lemon kush is mostly brown, other one not so much, just few hairs.

Can it be that it they were hermies(though I never noticed that) and they got pollinated? I attached few pics with some strange flowers (probably male) - can you confirm that?

Thanks!

Those buds look small. Your using LED. How close are your plants to the light? I've witnessed LED lights too dam close stunt flower growth many times. It's a more directed light source than say an HPS. Could be too much light or light to close.

I need closer pics of the bottom of the plant, where those little balls might be hanging.
those pistils can darken for many reasons, hermi is not one of them.
if its a hermie you will see strange balls hanging like this

My LED is ~60cm above top of the lemon kush(ill plant). It was even further in veg(but all was good then). In flower the plants streched a lot and got closer. The blueberry cheesecase (healthier plant) is maybe 30-40cm from LED now.

I trimmed a bit the ill plant right now since it had many small weak branches with popcorn growing from the main strong branches and most of those small flowers were browning. Maybe its good idea to remove all those small branches?

boy parts I'm guessing need better photos to be sure.

you are there though, upload a photo of your suspicious plant parts and do a revers google search with it.

@jbcCT @chemphlegm

Guys, I added few pictures how they look at the moment. All those are seedy buds, right?

Do you have any knowledge about buds pollinated so early? Will they still grow or they will only produce seeds without any noticeable growth?
