The simple fix for this problem is take a little piece of wet paper towel, dime size, and set it on that and that will soften it up and you can slide the shell off without damaging the initial leaves.

That is due to a lack of nitrogen reaching the plant. Your ph is probably swinging too high, most municipal water is very alkali. I may be wrong on the cause, but for sure is a nitrogen issue. Kinda young, err small at least, to have that problem. Kinda looks like its a runt pheno, too...

I wouldn't make light of it, one opened male flower can totally contaminate a small grow. It all depends where you're at in the budding cycle, too. The further in your are, the less it will impact the plants. At this point, just watch for pistils (white hairs) to start turning brown suddenly...

I believe the problem is that you're not evenly distributing the water throughout the medium. Overall, your plants look quite thirsty.

Thank you. First post that makes any sense here. Lets draw the difference between the process of maintaining a motherplant that you pull cuttings from and the process of cloning clones, cloning those clones, cloning those clones and so forth. The latter method will cause, eventually, Genetic...

No reason to not use the proper nomenclature, if you're gonna throw out a technical term. For the sake of progress.

My one and only smart ass comment here is : "Anybody who can see a calyx without the aid of a high powered microscope has SUPER human eyesight" You are referring to the Bract. Inside the bract, is an ovule, and wrapped around ovule is a nearly transparent film layer called the ...you guessed...

As someone else mentioned, could be pollinated. Check for signs of hermaphrodism. This would often times happen around week 3-4 of flowering.

You bring up an interesting point: Grafting for the sake of creating a multi-strained mother plant, versus grafting a plant just to bud and 'see what happens'. If you had limited space for your mother plant, but a larger budding chamber, you could easily benefit from this concept. You would...

LOL, Fox Farm, pretty good if you can get past the gnats. That's like saying, "This chick is a great fuck, if you can get past the herpes" I dunno, cooking dirt in the oven isn't a great idea for most people, considering that most of us only have access to a standard home oven, but I bet it...

Looks like over watering with a bit of burn.

You might want to also consider focusing on just one strain at a time. It's easier to track problems and you'll be more likely to snag a keeper pheno. Especially if you're in the learning stage. Each strain reacts different, grows different heights and will require different levels of TLC...

IF this was under a hps, it would be getting close to 3' tall, not 3". If these are the same beans you cracked a month ago, based on the date you started this thread, your plants are severely behind schedule. They simply aren't getting enough intense light. Since there's little growth, there's...

Its a consideration. I've heard of people getting caught in the North when all the other neighbors had snow on their rooftops except for the grow house. Of course, they were doing a huge set up, but nonetheless, any abnormalities YOU can see, means technically anybody can see too.

LOL, sorry man, stuff looking this bad is going to be slandered. These plants are fucked. Done. 1000 watt bulb is no joke, its for the serious contenders, drop down to like a 400 watt system. And I don't at all mean that in a belittling way, it's just too much intensity for a casual...

I love how people are so quick to shout out a nutrient deficiency....Plus, you're obviously good about the ph, and that's the reason plants tend to suffer(ph imbalance causing a lockout), not because you're withholding nutrient. If anything, I'd say you're probably over doing it somewhere in...

Exactly. In your examination of the pollen sacs, you likely spread it through the whole thing.

You're about right on track. You may have the start of a ph problem, but it doesn't matter at this point. When you see the entire or most of fan leaf turn yellow overnight, the plant is pulling that nutrient out of the fan leaf to support bud growth. You really only have a problem if you've...

What are your temp highs and lows? Photo #4 kinda looks temperature related.

Sometimes it's the smallest things we change that make huge impact. One thing I notice, you have the plants directly on the floor. Normally that's not an issue, but looks like you're in the basement, so straight to the concrete. Plants HATE being right on the concrete like that, it sucks the...
