Bud Formation Strange

Hi Keiley 35,
No hairs yet is odd but from the pix they look fine, I think you're just way early. Looks like they might be a full on Sativa which could take 11 - 13 weeks.
From my exp. with the Cheese I think it's mostly Indica but man they sure look & act like Sativa sometimes.
Lastly, and hate to even bring it up, but..........the seeds are in question, you are noticing something different & large early cluster formation with no hair. Might bone up on hemies, just so you know what to look for.
I see nothing in the pix so don't panic, just thinking out loud.

  • if its a hermie i would see balls or banana looking shapes wouldnt I??

    I looked all over I thought i saw 1 a pair of nuts LOL! it was just a new leaf starting they defo only had all hairs at nodes. ( but from what I have read they can change to hermie at any time.)​

  • what about not having any white pistils? surly that means no THC doesn't it!​


Trichromes are the thc not pistils,

As for the plants... DON'T BE A MURDERER lol let er live to full potential who knows it could be some bald grade A and try some more in the meantime! Just my 2 cents, happy growing!!!

I've had this happen before. Turns out Ph of the media was very low. It was caused by reusing the Promix one too many times. Eventually the lime gets washed out and the Ph drops like a rock.

Check your water's Ph and the runoff's Ph. If it's substantially lower, 1.5 - 2 points, you've found your problem. You have a Ph meter, right? If not, get one quick. I'd bet the Ph is off in the medium instead of the water since you didn't have this problem last grow.

The remedy is to spread a tablespoon or two of fine ground lime on the medium and water it in. Pistils may start to pop out in a few days. Worked for me anyway.

Thanks people for all your advice!!!

Two more days on and I can see hemi bullocks!!!!... Lol!!!

So my next question - before I put my new A13 haze plants into the large tent That the hermies lived in , they are now on 3 weeks from seed, do I have to bleach tent out??

The seedling are in a seperate tent but in the same room !! This won't pollinate the a13 haze plants will it?? They are about 6inches tall

Bummer! I'd wipe things down good, not sure if you gotta stink the place up with alot of bleach....maybe someone else has a thought. You got to stop for a sec though, why did they herm?
Could be the seeds or any part of your system. Your plants look beautiful so my gut tells me.........it's something odd. Man those are hard core herms if not full on male.
If this were my problem the first thing I would do is confirm my germination temp. Too high of temp here could take down the whole crop & make plants look not herm but male! Just a shot in the dark if you're looking for something to do.
Pitty..........all that meat & no potatoes.

The highest temperature the tent got was 31 degrees c which is 87.8 F , the temperature was steady at 27- 28 degrees with lights on, I thought the plants could handle upto 90F .

The main problem I had was when lights off temp would drop to 15 degrees .

I have bought new inlet air fan which will help with temps and I will just have to make sure when lights off the heating doesn't drop so low!!

I bought feminized seeds so they are guaranteed to be female aren't they...???

The seedlings are growing in a small tent in the same room and are doing really well ... I have 6-9 leaves already!!! Once they are 4 weeks I will pop them in big tent and to again.

Do you want me to put some pictures up?

as long as they arent male, keep growing them, and smoke it, who cares how bad the genetics are. crappy herb is still better then no herb.

So is it almost 90 where you put your seed to crack? Once it's rooted i seldom care about temp & Rh, but the seeds carry the genes. The ground is 65, tip the scales by adding 3-4 degrees maybe.
I do all my work in the first 2 weeks from seed then just get out of the way. Again your plants look great & you got a good loop going now...it's just those 1,2,4 month set backs that kill ya. You sure bout those new plants?
I'm left handed..... i'll be stuck on the seed temp til i'm sure. That's my edge.
Nick has a point but dam man i don't see any bud.

They are defo female !!!

One of the bottom clusters I dried quick and smoked last night ! It didn't get me that stoned that I couldn't move but about 6-7 on my stoned level!! But I did pack loads in!!!!!

No I crack the seed in a different tent with a 300w clf light as I can control room temp to pretty much 25 degree....

I will only be growing my hermi until the new plants are ready . 4 weeks I'm going to leave , do you think that will be ok??

As I will need the large tent that the Hermie are in to grow my new plants G13 haze.

As I do have a bit of high temps do you think I should grow AK 48 I read somewhere this is a pretty tough weed and hard to muck up?

Good to hear. Sure.....grow them suckers out. Used to be that you didn't buy weed if it wasn't full of seed & it smoked just great, very easy & fun to get the seeds out.
Haven't done a G13 in years but it used to be a very stable & robust strain. The 48 like all other feminized stuff will bit the new grower often. After a few cycles the risk becomes very low.
Just for now don't do anything with the name Trainwreck in it......that's next year.

I hope it's been answered by now, but your plants are incredibly heat stressed in the first photos.
This would cause the pistils (white hairs/flowers) to dehydrate & recede such as in late flower,
although I'm surprised the buds didn't foxtail & stretch apart from the heat.

Keep the light further away,
and make sure to check temperature at the canopy frequently.
Don't let the plants get above 85*f for long if possible.
Although some people simply must grow in 90*f conditions..

i lol'd when i read this. 6-7 on the 'stoned level' seems pretty good, grow it out, who cares?

The distorted growth does look like an environmental problem
if you are not getting enough clean air in your environment along with too much heat
you will most likely not notice this until flower
plants in veg can grow in very poor environmental conditions and not show any negative signs but once they get into flower
the heat issues / lack of co2 issues will show themselves quickly with distorted growth yellowing and burning crispy leaves
good luck :)

I just wondered which strain would you recommend and which site if one,do you order from?

Just want the best growth !!! Also my room doesn't go above 25 degree c now with its lovely new cool tube!!!
