Not sure what is going on. Is this just the sativa pheno on this strain coming through? There are 2 other plants in the cab also and neither show any sign of new growth.

Lights CFL - lots of them. Soil coco chip/coir/soil/perlite/verm - lighting 12/12 of course. Nutes - Maxibloom, molasses water and a solid 14/28/14 food tablet inserted about 2 weeks ago.

RH - 50-60% Temps 85-95 lights on and 80-85 lights off.

If the new growth is purely the TD doing what it does then fine as I'm in no hurry and realise hot temps in my cab have slowed all my plants considerably.

However if it is hermie I need to do something obviously.

If it is a light leak then surely the others should be affected but they are not.

Bit of a loss here - pics -

once again, get rid of the CFLs. use them for supplement lighting. for a small grow i wouldnt go any smaller than a 400w hps. if heat becomes a problem get a cool tube and inline fan. CFLs are usually slower than HPS because they dont have good light penetration or as many lumens per watts which makes them more efficient and cheaper in a sense. lot of people complain about cost and light bills but you should make it all back your first harvest. also tangerine dream has a very long flower cycle. i hear 12 weeks for some ppl even longer if not using co2.

i first started with a 400w hps with a cool tube. actually worked pretty amazing. cheapest magnetic ballast and the euro reflector from htgsupply.com i highly recommend you check it out or something similar. hps is the secret the indoor gardening though.

try lowering the light cycle to 11/13
It is not hermie ing... Otherwise you would find pollen sacks.

Had that happen to me on a outside grow one time... It was trying to reveg .... lower the light cycle like MJUNCo said .... might have set you back two or three weeks but yeah.

Think I'm going to tough it out and see what happens. The buds on it are getting very fat and as I looked and picked some dead leaves off it today the tops certainly had resin on them as my hands started to get sticky with it.

Is it possible this is just as sativa pheno and the new growth is just the next wave of flower?

Almost looks like it got a super dose of nitrogen at the end.

I've seen Molaki buds and some Lamb ( Hawaiian / Jamaican Strain ) look like that...but that's about it.

Like others have said it looks like reveg, nitrogen or hermie.

Some strains will hermie if grown too long.

But it doesn't look " done" either.

Who knows though... it could be the best bud ever ?!

Good luck.

I'm sorry son, but your giving advice not telling ppl what to do.. IMO- Chopping is a terrible idea as the buds are still immature, it will be a very potent bud if grown correctly and chopping now would deff be a waste of time and money.

I dunno, its a favorite. I just think you've got yer hands on a nasty pheno. Our fluffy one is so resinous the buds are stiff and hard to crush.damnecro-377481-albums-weed-picture2114487-tangerine-dream-barneys-farm.jpegSweet Tangerine smell and a soaring space mission high really make this one a favorite. Rocking our supersoil mix this finished in 10weeks
