Hi fellow growers. Im 28 days into 12 hour cycle. Running co2. My undeveloped buds are changing colour. What is hapening ? Only on 2 plants out of 22.

With that lighting and those pictures if anyone can answer that I’d be shocked. Try to get some normal lights when taking pictures.
Are the pistols changing colors and receding? If so possibly a stray single male flower you can’t see pollinated it, but no way to say with those pictures.
Is it the whole plant changing colors or just few flowers?
Try to use the full page picture function too bc having to click onto them makes it hard to zoom in. Normal light picture will help so we can see what you mean by color change.

He said the color was on undeveloped buds though not leaves. Until he posts normal lighted pictures with examples pointing out the problem areas it’s going to be hard to diagnose.
Just based on my experience he’s got a stray hidden male flower in a female flower cluster nutting on his flowers causing them to change colors and recede. Being he’s newer and doesn’t know what to look for it’s my best educated guess based on his info.
Other guesses would be harsh foliage sprays or doing foliar sprays with lights on causing them to turn.
Immature buds that early shouldn’t have color other than white hairs.

Changing colour yes, receding no.
When you say normal light, as in out of grow light time ?

There's a lot of questions to be asked, but off the cuff, I'd say it's simply a phenotypic variation. The changing colors I think is referring to drying pistils. That's normal. The buds seem really small and it doesn't look like they'll get any bigger. Maybe a little swelling just before harvest.
I had a Wedding Cake plant that produced stunningly beautiful buds, but all were popcorn size. Garbage plant and a total waste of time. I'm a risk taker so I'll give Wedding Crasher a shot this year hoping for bigger buds.

Ya I just meant like a daylight or fluorescent so it’s not all yellow.
Seeing the new pics with better lighting I don’t see anything out of ordinary. Like others said it could be minor issues but nothing I’d worry about.
If you get some better pics of a few of the problem area it may shed more light on helping better. Just try to get multiple examples of what you’re talking about and after uploading the pics click on the full screen option so it’s easier to look at.
RIU half the times when you look at a photo like you posted as attachments instead of full page it only shows too 1/4 of picture and makes it hard to zoom.
Post them like this. Once you d/l your attachment click the Full Page tab just to the right of picture.

Mine did that at about the same time as yours due to excess manipulation, however, I can see the tips of your leaves burnt and that means you are overfeeding which could probably add up to the cause of the early pistil discoloration.

Yep you definitely don’t want to be finger fucking your plants. If you chose to touch them touch the lowers and be patient. A lot of newer growers baby and over analyze their plants to a fault.

Your right, I have over fed. Thanks for the reality check.
Cheers brother.
