Ok so im growing a 9 week strain and I check the trichs and theyre just turning milky so theyre deff not done. anyway the tallest cola which is also the fattest doesnt have any new pistils on the top growth is this normal? also that cola has the least chrystals ... any reason why?

well if you got cloudy trcihs at 6 weeks on a 9 week strain something not right. way to soon to see that yet if its truely a 9 weeker. milky is ripe. highest thc and cbd usualy there.
whats the heat.

yea, shouldnt be cloudy yet..
what kind of light are you viewing them under??
also have you checked for root rot, or underwatering?

under an hps and the light on the microscope.... most are clear but they are starting to turn milky no amber yet. i have them in a screen so cant really check the roots and I water 1gal of water every 3-4 days theyre in 5gal pots.

k well youll never realy get a true colour being under an hps. take it out of there to look at the trichs for ripeness. seems kinda early to me for cloudy yet....ah just saw in a screen so will be hard to take out to look....snip a small bud??

ok so if it has high humidity what is high to you???. this can also effect them. cant transpire right to proces the foods and will not grow as they should. 81 is fine for heat then to. how far away is tops of plants to light to....and light size
waterings seems fine if its dry fully inbetween

humidity was around 55%-70% but i got it in the mid 40s - low 50's today so hopefully it stays around there. its a 600w hps w cooltube (and 400cfm can fan) about 12-18" away its ATLEAST 8" from the tallest cola. and i have a fan blowing directly between the light and the plants.

well seems ok now. you want low humidity half way point in bloom. like 40%. the more cosntant temps and humifity will be better. like day to night needs to stay tight.
so maybe all this is just the strain to

alright i looked again and you guys were right it was the hps making them look cloudy... when they DO start to turn amber will it be an obvious amber like unmistakable or will i have to look hard? ALSO i want them to be 30% amber when i harvest so its more of a heady high so when should I start flushing? when they start turning milky, when they start turning amber? Thanks

You said its just your tallest bud that isn't growing new pistols, right? It may be a little close to the light. Its happened to me a number of times. Are the leaf edges around the top of that bud turning up?

amber is to far if you want that high. amber is when thc starts to degrade. and will be a couch lock high. you want clear to cloudy then. and remember to take it a bit ealry as they do continue to rippen after harvest a bit. so id begin the flush at the first signs of clioudy. or a day or 2 after. then just run reg water for the rest of the time...like 7 to 10 days.

no more hairs??...check and see if it was pollenated or hermied then. bust open a calyx..i dont see heat issues form those pics. maybe a better shot of more of the plant would halp better to. cant realy see anything

I don't see hairs at the very top. Looking at the leaves it doesn't look like your cooking it with the light. Do you see any nanners. Are those leaf tips at the very top or calyxes without pistols. Sorry looking at the pics on my droid.

Don't worry about the top they tend to look finished but the lower buds will let you know as well as letting the plant go until the water and fan leaves start to turn yellow and for sure you'll have a finished plant
