Cheers steadyeddie, amazing what a couple of weeks does at this stage, they fill whatever space you give them more or less.
Actually, this is the most likely scenario, if I remember right when I thawed out that batch of Blue Ripper x Harlequin pollen, it seemed to have picked up some moisture in the bag. The Blue Ripper pollen was nice and dry. I'll run a fresh batch before trying it again, just won't hit this round, I have plenty of other seeds to run in between
Hey Dawg, on the lights I don't think so, last round they were 18-20", maybe even 24" at this stage before I lowered them. This round they were sitting at ~24" until a few days ago, now sitting at ~17-18". Plus no other strain/pheno is showing anything like that BR x Harlequin, here's a pic of the Blue Ripper x Blue Dream pheno in there from last night, normal white hairs, they're all like that other than this BR x Harlequin, strange one.
Yeah I'm going with genetics/pheno-specific mutant unless I find anything else that makes sense. It's definitely not pollination or I would have had nothing but seeds on that pheno and many of the others last round. It's getting the same treatments as all the other strains/phenos in there, no variations so far. I don't have any males flowering anywhere, one Blue Ripper male in the breeding tent but it's only at Day 11 or so and no flowers showing yet.Humm Strange Indeed.

Cheers JD, yeah it was a good call, makes sense too, will be pulling that pollen out of the freezer as I had a note to thaw it out for the weekend pollen chucking session. Pretty sure I remember that one picking up some moisture after freezing it. I've been so careful it would piss me off if it was that, user error - lol
I may hit one branch with the Blue Ripper pollen for some more BX, that pheno is so smelly and tasty I may even self a clone of it to see if I can get something similar in seed form. I'm not crazy about selfed fem seeds but this thing is so unique I'd love to be able to pass it on in seed form.
Yes sir, just west of Mississauga. I will check out those cams since they are plug and play. I appreciate the info.
Cool, grew up in Mississauga, Erin Mills area Up in Collingwood but have customers in the GTA. Good luck with the cams and cheers.
I don't mean to highjack this thread but what you mentioned about using a PK booster caught my eye. I'm on my 3rd week of flower and i have notticed brown hairs on my pre flowers and I am using a PK booster. would this be causing my preflowers hairs to turn brown? my only other explanation is that my girls hermied or have nanners forming which made them pollinate eachother. I have some picture that I took outside of my room to show that the rest of the plant is green and the only thing showing a browning are the preflowers. Also I took some pictures inside my room through my grow glasses to show how some of the leaves next to the buds have this sideways curl to them. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.Humm Strange Indeed. To Be Honest I've Never Really Figure Out The Pre Maturing Browning Of Hairs I've Had Several Ideas Now You Have Debunked My Pk Thoughts.

No comment on the PK booster as I don't have any experience with those. The 1st/2nd and 6th pics look like something's going on, the rest look normal. But they don't look pollinated to me, and typically if you see something like accidental pollination (e.g. hermie) all the buds will show some brown/red hairs, not just a few specific one's. The sample I posted which turned out to be just the way that pheno grows it's buds, all of the buds on that plant (only that plant) are like the pic I posted.
I haven't sprayed them with anything. Everything seemed to going fine until I began adding this PK booster unfortuantely. Thats why I was scared I could have gave them a case of nutrient burn. I just gave my plants another look and it seems that the ones that have the brown hairs on the preflowers are showing brown hairs on ever preflower on the plant. I also notticed lastnight that the camera i have setup in my room has a green light that shines off the back of it... Do you think that this light exposure during these first 3 weeks could have possibly cause my plants to hermie? I also topped all the plants showing the browning could this have stressed them out? I picked off one of calyx which looked swollen and squeezed out this little super tiny green seed?
That Looks Weird Like You Had A Light Sitting On Top Of Your Lady Cause Only The Top Bud Seems Affected Humm. Now When Using Pk Boosters You Can Burn Up A Plant In An Instant. Its Said You want To Cut Your Nute Strength In Half To Avoid Phosphate Burn
