does anybody know why the preflowers have red tips? The plant is two months old and is strictly organic. I water her once a day with about a gallon of tap water. She just started showing preflowers last week and this week some of the pistils have reddish tips. Is there something wrong. I have posted this before but haven't recieved any answers. Thanks for any advice.

I believe its due to the oil or excess stuff on your fingers when you might rub against it. Its somewhat normal.

pistil hairs come in yellow red and sevberal others bro you good dont worry yet a gallon a day is kinda excessive if u ask me but if your plant start to droop or yellow in color go ahead and ease off the water might be over watering

Oh, I didn't read all of your post until now. Yeah, a gallon of water a day.. I use maybe 3 cups of water per 3 days for a smaller plant and theyre fine for the whole 3 days. 3 cups = about 1/5th a gallon of water.

i live in a very hot state and the soil gets dry fairly quickly. I have her in a 5 gallon clay pot and i also have a ph meter with a moistness gauge on it so i reg test the soil. She is a very healthy looking plant and i was just concerned that something was off. Thanks for the input doods. also does the 12/12 apply to outdoor, i have heard that nature will do what it should without astrict regiment of 12/12.
