It may be normal if the plant is almost finished. How close to finished? Photo of whole plant?

Are there little flys flying around in your space.
No my first thought was mites so i did a thorough insect check and saw no evidence. Besides them buzzing around what can I look for
I just gave it the last dose of nuts/Blackstrap here is a picture of the top bud, more to follow. Mostly orange but the trichromes are just beginning to swell and bell

I apologize I missed you said they were in midflower on your first post. As budman suggested it appears to be Ca if so and it isn't included in your nutrient line already then find a source for it. Of course this assumes all other things are ok such as you are pH balancing your nutrient solutions and you aren't pushing/dropping the Calcium out with hard tap water or too many nutrients. If you want more help with this then I need a ton more info including nutrients+additives, type of water, how you are pH'ing them and type of soil.
It is always good to check daily for bugs and to know what you are looking for. Spider mites are microscopic they don't actually fly only jump trailing a web string. I've seen severe infestations with strings between plants the spider mites have built. At first you don't even know they are there without looking on the bottom of the leafs in the most shaded areas of your plant. They suck on the veins, people say they are on newer growth but I always seem to find them easiest on healthy bigger fan leaves.
P.S. I can't look closely at pics on this pc but from the little photo i can see it looks like Ca

I have honestly never seen a plant decline that fast my friend so I think we are pissing into the wind here. But I don't have enough information to help you I am going to list some stuff but feel free to add more
1. Where are you getting your water from?
2. You have large drainage holes right?
3. Is it possible you have over watered the living crap out of that plant?
4. What type of soil?
5. Are you giving it nutrients, if so precisely what?
6. How old?
7. What type of lights, how close?

jjwatts you confused me by posting on someone else's thread, I'm high bro. I thought you were still the original poster growing in soil so ignore the advise I gave you by PM about root rot for over watering. CoCo always gets something like Cal Mag Plus as a base. It does have 2 Nitrogen so be careful you don't stack it other than your nutrients, meaning I use CoCo nutrients at full strength with 5ml Cal Mag Plus but only on older plants. I don't use full strength nutrients but how I mix my coco nutrients would only serve to confuse you so search on that. Just so you know CoCo Coir does not have nutrients, I looked at that CoCo Loco it just seems like straight coco
I'm not an expert by any means but i have read that when c
Thanks so much, I just ordered some CalMag..my tap source sucks so i have been only using distilled water. I went through each plant inch by inch with a jeweler's lens and saw no bugs/webs so (knock on wood) no sign of pests yet. A similar thing happened to a previous plant into the flower stage. Does the plant use up all the calcium in the soil and thats why it happens into the flowering? I am using Tiger Bloom, Bemba and Cha-Ching for flowering nutes along with blackstrap molasses. I also give voodoo juice with feedings. I am using a heavy soil so have just been using b-52 and some basic nitrogen supplements for veg. Also when flowering starts i began topping of the soil with soil conditioner, Pro Gro and Japanese Maple Fertilizer in an attempt to freshen up/restore the soil (FFOF/Coast of Maine heavy perlite)
I am still in the novice stage and am an eager student who welcomes all feedbak and greatly appreciates all the help!

I use an organic super soil mix you can search that's here on riu it is pretty much just water and add Cal Mag I don't add anything else. I have tried FFOF before also not that I didn't like it but I do use off the shelf Roots Organic. Other than Cal Mag if I feed my organic soil plants I try to use organic fertilizers and I have tried a few but this is the one I am currently bumping with.

Synthetic fertilizer's can harm your beneficial bacteria although I admit I have used them before I did so knowing it was a dumb idea I was stuck and the plants were screwed. I am betting if you really wanted to you could flush them but honestly if you're in flower I'd correct the problem with Cal Mag and finish as you are but next time stay all organic and use beneficial bacteria.
