So im force flowering this plant atm, im putting it under a dome every night and bringing it out every morning, today i moved it out and about 3-4 hours later this happend

I noticed some mold forming on the soil and decided to mix the soil in, the lower buds are close to the soil but not touching, i dont think that has anything to do with it. The rest of the plant is otherwise healthy, please any information is helpfull, i havent been giving it any nitrogren nutrients, only threw some ash (potassium) and bonemeal (phosphorus) ..

Happy growing :)

So you've heard that putting a plant under a dome will force it to flower? The only thing that gets a plant to flower (usually) is 12 hours of light causing the hormones to shift from veg mode to flower mode. You really can't cheat nature. Putting a plant in a dome will kill it. No airflow.

See the provblem is right now its spring, and it started to bud just before spring and i dont want it to go back to veg cause it will just be a waste, im just putting a bird cage with black bags over it at night, but thats not the problem at stage right now

Could you identify the problem on the leaves?
Thanks

When you say dome you dont mean dome for moisture do you?

I assume your just talking about putting it into full dark period for 12 hrs. Right?

That is correct wizzle, just so that it doesnt go back into veg as it just started working on trichs and is quite far into bloom, i can cut wholes in the dome to allow air flow, or even put a mini usb fan inside to circulate the air

But im still wondering as to why its browning on the leaves and so close to the bud, I checked up on it like 20 minutes ago and it had spread to the upper buds so i just cut off all the leaves that have that discoloration, yet i dont know if that will solve my problem, any ideas? Do you recommend just harvesting it?

Pulling off the affected leaves just makes it look better.. it doesnt solve what ever issue is happening.

What are you feeding it?

What soil is that?

Let's start there

And no I don't recommend chopping. It still has a ton of time left.

Im just using regular organic potting soil with about 30-40% perlite, i did top dress it about 3 weeks ago with some wood ash and and bonemeal and im using liquid kelp every now and then, otherwise just plain rain water

Im going to checkup on it in a few and let you know how its looking.
