That's sucks dude, how many seeds of slurricane did you run? Ya I'm interested in the biscotti because I have the compound California Raisins(biscotti x grape gas)

I'm not a huge fan of to many or long pistils on bud but these slurricane pistils look amazing. They have this neon orange color to them-

For those of you that have grown PKBR before, whats the deal with it regarding nutes?
I grew a pkbr plant outside in a pot full of horse & chicken manure no problems. I cloned it and grew a plant inside, thru veg it waa fine and very healthy. In flower for the first 3 weeks or so it was also very healthy and preying etc. Come week 4 the leaves start to turn purple which i think "cool" but then they just start to mottle and turn brown and look generally pretty sad compared to the rest of the tent which is all fine (another 5 plants all different strains). Are they particularly hungry in your experience or am i overfeeding them something? Or do they just naturally fade a whole lot? I cant figure it out, like i said all my other strains are doing fine but pkbr is just looking particularly unwell.

All my pkbr have done the same. Blood blister purple leaves, mottling, but they still end up absolute fire. Im not sure if its a deficiency or a toxicity, but the purple is genetic. They do tend to get so purple that they look fake or dying lol
Best thing I can think of is a Moly or Phosphorus deficiency, but 5 or 6 grows on the pkb, none of them failed, everyone has been fire ( about 90 plants in total ).
Just keep a well balanced feed and try not to nuke them.

Thanks mate thats comforting. Ill take a couple of pics tonight and post. Like i said the plant outside is totally fine and looks healthy even now right at the end of flower. The one inside is just straight up not having a good time. Will we report back.

Alrighty I took some pics in the tent tonight, unfortunately I didn't take any photos in veg or the first few weeks of flower when it was healthy.
I'm just into week 5 of flower
Here's a closeup of a PKBR bud to show the deficiency:
Here's the Twisted Helix next to it, looking fine:
Interestingly; here's an Orange Cheesecake from Conscious Genetics, the one cola that's in between the LED and HPS is preying towards the LED and is turning purple in the middle of the fanleaves and the rest of the plant under the HPS is not turning purple: (thats the PKBR in the bottom of the pic)
So I'm starting to wonder, is the LED fucking up the plant? Is it the nutes? The Twisted Helix stretched so much and is like, 10cm away from the LED panel on some heads and is totally fine and not even showing any signs of bleaching. I had this a similiar problem with another PKBR in another tent, French Cookes and Afghanica seed under my other LED last grow so I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong with the lights?! I'm actually surprised at how little this PKBR stretched indoors compared to it's outdoors mother, which stretched almost as much as the Twisted Helix mother but had way tighter internodal spacing.
am confuse.

They look fine mate. If you can find my PKBr posts in here, go look how purple mine go lol, they look almost black under normal light.
A bit of tip burn i see though. Mine never agreed with high str feeds ( modular flood & drain in rockwool croutons, sterile )

This leaf mottling is normal? Not talking about the purple so much as brown. The outdoors mother was lush green all the way up to end of flower

Possibly a deficiency or some lockout. Looks similar to a molybdenum or manganese deficiency. Im shit at deciphering some of these symptoms.
But feed looks hot, them tips are a little toasted.

Thanks. I had a look at your pics and mine are fine definitely burnt compared to yours. As i said all my other plants are except pkbr as of a week or two ago. COCO/ perlite 50L pots scrog fed comprehensive H&G regime DTW 2x daily feedings @ EC 1.8 all the way through.
Potentially one of the bloom boosters added wk 4

OK, I've never done coco so I have no advice in regards to feeds and strength. Them boosters usually mess shit up for me, I just micro dose with PK boosters, silica and cal mag and kept my ppms around 800 and lower base feed and micro dose some pk after week 4. Boosters don't go in till after week 4 and I use them to just bump the p & k ratio a bit from the base feed. Regardless you will finish fine mate, the budsites look good, and them crispy leaves are just gonna get worse, but give them some love, outdoors is nature, indoors is nurture

What do you guys use to really pack the frost on. I don’t know if it’s the plant or I’m being impatient but man I feel the trichopath could be frostier. Two more weeks of food then I flush. Harvest ETA is May 10-12

Photoshop filters, lighting adjustments, high-end camera lenses.
Also, supplemental UV, certain stressors (such as Harpin proteins), plant-specific dialed-in nutrient regimes, killer living soil beds, etc.

Dude...my man moab you're being to hard on yourself...no magic juice nutes will add on trichs, and you really don't want to be using that shit anyways...its mostly genetics. By the way those look fucking dope dude, you have frost rails on the sugar leaves. They look trich'd out to me, frosty as fuck, good work!

Also that plant has beautiful structure... it has that nice, thick>spear like bud structure. I really like that plant man! Looks like your going to get a great yield as well, I see that donkey dick cola in the background.

Genetics will matter most when it comes to frosty buds, almost any product designed to add trichomes is a marketing scam. As long as you give the plant a decent environment and all the food it needs you will end up with nearly the maximum amount of frost that the genetics will allow. Also dont be surprised the find certain phenos of strains that dont have good bag appeal, pretty much every pack of seeds from any breeder will have a few. Like the others said it looks great and healthy.
