there prolly more redish brown actualy.........it means there dead, the plants not puting energy towards the pistols because its dedicating it towards bud growth ( its a good thing, for those who cant understand.....).

*also, those ferts are fucked man.......get something like 10-30-15......and add some molasses to it..

I don't know if its normal or not but the same thing happend to my plants. Some of them just have one blood red hair and others have hairs that are half white and almost look burnt brown. I made a thread about this a few weeks ago and got little real feedback.

Yea I got the same thing. All is well, although the flowering is bit slower than I expected so far. Makes me a bit worried haha.

Some pistils are gonna brown off and die. Don't sweat it, there's plenty more where they came from. Just give it time and don't do anything drastic. Feed at 1/2 label strength. [Nutes high in potassium (K) as well as phosphorous (P)] Wait, watch and work from there.

Yea the same thing happened to mine...just give it a week and youll see a bunch of new ones!...

Is it a good time to start with bloom nutes NOW? I was going to go with tiger bloom...

and for the molasses do i just add it to the water? how much per gallon and can I use it with my regualr everyday watering or just on my nute feedings twice weekly?

Rep if some one can give me some GOOD straight answers

Yes, it is a good time to start bloom nutes. Tiger bloom is a great choice.

Molasses is just added to water, yea. I wanna say like 1 teaspoon per gallon (a little goes a long way), but you should look that up elsewhere to make sure, because I could be completely wrong. It should only be once or twice weekly; doesn't need to be terribly often.

Nutes twice weekly is a lot, by the way. But if it's working, then don't change it, I guess. Also, you probably shouldn't be watering every day, unless your plant is really sucking it up that quickly. Soil SHOULD dry between waterings. People over water like crazy. Try watering every other day and see what happens.

umm hey bro ...

first off ... molasses ... i just put a shit load into my gallon when i feed once weekly .. about 4-5 tablespoons .. no harm done so far ...

secondly .. i use the heavy feeding of tiger bloom, big bloom, and grow big in the same gallon of water i feed my plants with .. check out my plants .. they seem to do fine with it ... :D
... my hand is with my female ... that sativa is a male .. he'll need proper taking care of soon enough ...

i also might feed my plants regular strength this week since ill be feeding them twice ...

also i forgot to say i added more bone and blood meal to my soil .. about 2 tablespoons on each plant .. growth was huge
