Ok... So i'm not a noobie, i've been growing for a few years now... I use the whole fox farm line, and also sea-green as a foliar and 1/2 recipe in watering. I know, I know.... I'm switching to Botanicaire next grow. Anywhoo.... I have a problem. I had it last harvest and now this one......
I have 9 plants in flowering.... I am currently running a 1200 watt HPS, and two 1000 watt HPS 12/12..... The room is big...Maybe I am using too much light?? I have good fans and ventilation, I did however recently change my 12/12 schedule from night to day.... Could that be it. On really hot days, with all the fams and vents running, I am still over 80 degrees. A couple times it was 90 degrees.....

I only have 3 more weeks to my flowering. Buds were looking great. Today I noticed tiny, green, skinny leaves coming out of the tops of my beautiful, crystally, Pineapple buds.... Has anyone seen or heard of this.... Please help me reverse this if possible..... Any thoughts appreciated.

Not sure without a photo, but it sounds like they are probably forming foxtails. Could be the heat or the strain. A few of mine are doing it pretty badly. Here is a photo of one of my plants. My grow room has been getting in the 90's this past month with the heat wave.

It's more obvious in the smaller buds at the bottom (first pic)..... The second pic shows small green leaves coming from almost the center and a lime green dot directly in the center if you look down on it.......

what i see is revegging, and definitely means you have a light interruption during lights off somewhere. Check even the most unexpected things i.e the little "on" light on the surge protectors for instance

Yeah they'll revert back to flowering as soon as the problem is fixed. That would fucking suck if it is the light on your ballast, but I'm guessing it would have to be something brighter than that. If you're not using a digital timer turn your dial the full 24hrs slow and see if it kicks your ballast on when its supposed to be off, or if it turns your ballast off when its supposed to.

Looks to me like theres some sativa traits showing in your plants. Ive seen this in mid to late flower lots when the fan leaves start dying and they decide to grow more sugar leaves. Its strange but those leaves are usually totally clusterd in with buds when they finnish to the point where just the tips of those new leaves are showing. I dont think its reveging at all. Theres a million white pistals popping right now. The heat will be an issue and when ive seen those type of leaves in the past unless the temps come down, the potency has been lessened. It seems like the trics like to finnish up in lower temps which makes sence coresponding with natures cycle. It does look like theres a good bit of claw going on so ya might want to back off on the nitrogen.
 
How long will it take to show sex with heat stress? Temps have been in the mid 90's during the day with lights off and mid 70's low 80's at night with lights on I put bigger exhaust fan in to try to help with temps, I'm 2 weeks into flowering for early sex and no sign of males but no sign of females either, started sexing at about 4 or 5 weeks from seedling, but last couple weeks we've had a heat wave that's been upper 90's, and will the light on a surge protector really cause re-vegging?
