Help Please??? Why do my buds look like this? They are 5 days into curing.

i would say heat stress too.

how were the roots. did you look at the root balls after harvest compared to the first harvest?

it also could be bugs. i have had thrips and fungus gnats destroy my plants from the roots up. from 1oz per to 1/8 per. so check your soil, use DE and Spinosad if you see any soil bugs. put a half a potato on top of the soil. if you have soil bugs they will be on the under side of the potato in half a day.
soil bugs will decrease your yield by half or more.

Thanks, are soil bugs seen with the eye, magnifying glass, or the microscope?

you should be able to see them with the naked eye using the potato method.
thrips will show leaf damage (silvery slime like markings on the leaves, flip them over to see the bugs.)
gnats you will see flying around (adult)

i think i just finally got rid of both, spinosad and mosquioto dunks (Bti), finally. these bugs are the worst because they destroy the roots and cause nutrient uptake problems.

good luck, if you dont see bugs, its probably heat.

Thanks for all the help guys. It is looking better, smelling better, and tasting better everyday. OH Yeah, I get a better High everyday testing them out too....lol. I should be good and I will do some improvments on my next grow. Including better Heat removal, cleaner room, Less plants (25), more care to them and more space to grow as I train them to get more bud sites. I will treat the room for any future or existing bugs. I am allso going to include a light mover or two. Now I just need an electrician with closed lips to do some work for me....lol

Hey sorry i didnt make it back. Sounds like your getting your shit set up and getting ready =D

there is an electrician thread somewhere around here, run by someone who is pretty popular (cant remember name atm, too high). I bet with both a little research on your part and a few questions thrown his way, you could probably do the whole thing by yourself pretty easily =D

i have soil bugs bad... i kill a stinkbug everyday. and i have these things my girlfriend called an "ear dawber" or something like that. how can i kill the bugs without killing the plants? there 2 weeks flowering today.

That blueish white I have seen before. If it actually looks like that to the eye without the flash of the camera than that could be because of too much miracle grow and fertilizers before harvest. It makes the buds look chemically and less shiny like, and leaves a chemical like smell. There is also the obvious heat stress and lighting stress.

Thanks, Maybe I am just judging everything by the first crop. I always get nervous at the end. This is AK 47 strain. I think I will cut the number of plants back to around 25. They were way to close together. The first one was 14 plants and I got 14 zips. This one was 40 plants and I got 21 zips and less quality. I am trying to grow 25 plants indoors and get at least 2 zips per plant. The stuff the other 2 are seeing is not mold, it is the resin or just the pic itself. I would die if I smoked mold because I am allergic to it. I have been smoking this stuff for a week already and I am still alive and well. It also seems to be getting better and stronger everyday. Any thoughts on how much longer I should cure it?

not trying to bash you or be an asshole but 14 zips from 14 plants? you couldent even get a pound with 14 plants, you're doing something wrong. even 14 lowryders should produce more than that

Not sure what I am doing wrong if anything. Two friends of mine get about a pound for 25 plants. The first time I had them in Veg for 3 months, the second time was only a month after transplanting them from the clone cups. That is why I am on here trying to be the best I can be...lol. The first crop was very healthy and I have no complaints except for the net amount. I have talked to several people on here and they say 1-2 zips for a quick grow is average? How big are your plants and how much do you get per plant usually? What kind if strains do you use? Inside? Outside? How many lights? Soil or Hydro? Any suggestions on veg. and flowering food? The heat was the number one issue I believe. 90-95 is way to hot. I am certainly open to suggesions, after all that's why I am here.
