What flowering week would you put it in?

[Segox]

Unfortunately the most common reason for early brown hairs is pollination. Any chance there are any males around? Outdoor you can get pollinated from a male a mile away. Any clear close-ups of the buds affected?

If you sprayed her recently with anything that has an oil component in the ingredients (like neem), that will usually cause early browning of pistils as well.

I had pollination but only on preflowers and only one at a time.
It has been quite cold an rainy the last few days, could the weather cause it? Also the plant was not fed nutes for at least 2 weeks. Could be some wild hemp that pollinated, but it's weird that it pollinates just one flower on the whole branch. I just don't want to mess this up

Thanks, yeah they had quite a bit of training. I super-cropped them early to generate more branches, then mainlined them into the bamboo trellises that will later support those colas. Then they got a FIM on every top about 2 weeks before they started to flower.

Very impressive how many branches you have in just 15gallons!I'm in 45's and seeing your pics,I'm way under my potential!!

Thanks, you have quite a tree going there, looking like it's a couple maybe 3 weeks into flowering already too. I have to try and get as much out of those as possible without being too tall, we're not legal here yet so the training makes up for height/size. May want to consider doing some super-cropping and FIM or pinching the tops for next season, imagine the colas you could get from a trained plant in 45 gal Trick is to do a lot of your training early like super-cropping and then spreading out the branches, it opens up the center and the new offshoots fill in as they grow. Here's what these looked like about 8 weeks ago when I first put the bamboo trellises in, you can see how much more growth filled in those open areas.

Yup I'm gonna try that next season.I'm familiar with the FIM trick,but im assuming super cropping is the actual removal of branches?your method seems so much more efficient

I prefer FIM vs. pinching or topping because if you hit it right you can get as many as 4 tops from the original, they also tend to recover faster.

Super-cropping generates more off-shoot branches, you don't remove anything, you pinch and bend a branch (slowly, in steps so it doesn't crack right through) to about 90 degrees. I do it early and with most strains I bend/super-crop the main when I get them into 1gal pots. When you do that, you end up with a knot at the bend after a few days and new shoots grow from below and above that knot. The earlier you do it the better imo, you can manipulate the shape of the plant and number of branches easier, you can even super-crop the new off-shoots later if you're going to veg for a while like outdoor.

I'm using super-cropping on clones in party cups indoor to clone my clones while they're still in the party cups. I have a ton of strains going but limited space so I can't veg & flower everything I have including males for breeding. By super-cropping them in the party cups it saves me having to up-pot them into 1gal pots. It generates enough shoots for me to grab a couple of clones, then they go into my aero cloner and I can toss the party cups.

. . . . ,but im assuming super cropping is the actual removal of branches?your method seems so much more efficient

Supercropping is a controlled breaking of the branches so they are sideways. This lets more light into the middle of the plant, and the break grows back much stronger. But use with caution. I have broke a few that didn't make it.
