the "hairs" have nothing to do with anything other then production of seeds, keep an eye on trichomes

Your not getting enough light and air flow to those lower branches causing them to die off.

Also, your pH is off.

temp as of now is 67degreez or 20celcius humidity idk because i dont go in when lights are off but its normally around 50 to 60% i place a 80 watt cfl in but it seemed like the differnce in light stressed the leaves a bit on the bottum where i had the light so i took it out i have one ocsilatting fan sitting on the ground pointing up so it hits the buttom leaves up. also i got a ph tester but its for testing pools will it still be sufficient?

theres definatly enough air flow lol sometimes i think itll damage the leaves because of so much airflow so its currently turned down to one.

nope but ive never heard of floral feeding killing off the white hairs. so should i feed less or just plain water or just not use the mollasses?

i also tried moving the light closer about 7 inches from tops and thats when that kinda started happening so i moved the light back up about 14 inches now and seen the lower buds dissipating:neutral: and how can you tell that my ph is off/ can this be checked with a pool ph tester strips or no?

I've never heard of using a gallon of molasses a week. Wouldn't that be expensive? Where did you hear about doing that?

A table spoon a gallon is what I meant sorry. Soooo yea a gallon of water mixed with molasses. Could that be the defect?

Yes molasses can cause a nutrient lockout, I don't use molasses anymore because of that, and it attracts bugs, unless you're growing "organic" I would stop the molasses and get some Nitrogen rich nutrients instead...but they do look good so far :mrgreen:

Floral feeding is where you feed your plant by spraying a light nutrient solutions pHed to 6.7-6.8 on the entire plant, i dont think you are floral feeding.

o ok thanks for letting me know what floral feeding is. no ive never done it but i do mist the leaves which is what i thought you meant i just dont use anything but fresh water no nutrients. the only way i would feed any type of food to the floral part is if it was co2
