Looks like you got some nute burn. What is your nute feeding schedule like?

Also, I wouldn't cut your fan leaves if you don't have to.

I believe Mr. Cervantes said using molasses makes buds swell by as much as 20% if I remember correctly.

Patience is key here. Try to go at least 9 weeks, but it all depends on the strain and how developed the trichomes are. Pick up a microscope from Radio Shack for $10 batteries not included, but it is worth it.

Here I looked it up for you:

Molasses and Kool-Aid
Last year's August issue had a question about improving taste with Kool-Aid and molasses sugar. Could I get some advice about how much of the Kool-Aid packet and how much molasses I should add to a gallon of water?

Dear AKrider,
Sugar is one of the main 'secret' ingredients in many fertilizers. I have a lot of experience with molasses, fructose and refined and raw sugar, but little experience with Kool-Aid. I've seen Kool-Aid used and haven't been impressed with the results. Plants will suck up all the sugar they can when it's applied to the soil at irrigation time.

We did an experiment about 10 years ago and found that buds swell about 20% when sugar is added to irrigation water during the last four weeks of flowering. The sugar could also be enhanced with other flavors, but the flavors don't always come through as a notable taste when the weed is smoked.

Determining the dose of sugar is very easy: Add enough to a container of room-temperature water so that the solution is saturated. This will be about one tablespoon per quart of water. Remember, roots can only absorb so much sugar. Over-applying sugar won't make buds swell any more, and it'll also attract ants and other curious critters. This is why some growers apply only one tablespoon per gallon of water. If plants take a lot of water because they're in a windy location outdoors, cut the dosage by as much as 90%. As you can see, you'll need to play with the dosage a little, depending upon the growing situation of each plant.

Thanks!

I'm not using any nutes at all....i've only used water throughout the entire grow on purpose...just to see the difference from no nutes to full nutes.
