so my yumbolt 47 (a truly amazing fast grower btw) turned a little too green for me (too much nitrogen) so i flushed it at two weeks into 12/12 and just fed it phed water for a week. gave it a small dose of flowering nutes at three weeks. the growth seemed to stop after i flushed it. then at 3 weeks all the pistils turned orange a couple days after i gave it some nutes. this plant is huge and takes nutes with out even flinching and is very very begginner friendly. and I fear a fucked it up during the first couple weeks of flowering cause the leaves were a little too green. just a regular old soil grow in the closet. what gives? is it starting flowering back up again or does that mean its fucked up? most of the orange hairs are located where they are getting the most light(top)

as far as i knnow there is never a too green..... green is good. dont flush unless u have to. if u want to cut nitrogen then just cut it down. as for the pistils, how many weeks are they supposed to be done? are they 8 week? 10 wk? red pistils too eairly are not usually a good sign could be polinated females could be lots of things. what do the trichs look like? maybe they are a fast finisher. are the calxys swollen?

You never know some times they might have got their own thing, many have said the last flowering stage is the vital one and add to the final yield,
once your around a week or two to harvest then flush it,
The green (N) will get used by itself when it needs to... wouldnt recommend manually forcing it to cut down the N.
:peace:

Yes hahahah:-) That is a good sign man most of the time that means it took so watch and see if they swell over the next few weeks and tag those buds so you remember to check them in a couple weeks and at harvest time if the seeds aren't just leave them on the plant and till the seeds fully mature.

There is such a thing as too green. If you have ever seen a plant or plants suffering from nitrogen toxicity you would have noticed that they are a very dark green, sometimes with a slight bluish tint. What you see soon after that is 'affectionately' known as "The Claw." Nitrogen toxicity causes vascular breakdown within plants. So while green is good, GREEN is not good.

Dang its locked up i think. buds have stopped developing since i noticed it was a little too green and fed it just phed water for a week. why would all the bud sites turn orange if i pollenated only three lower bud sites? it wasnt even that green but i dont know. this strain always looks lighter in color then all my other plants.

Can you put up some pictures? That really helps, how did you pollinate? you woouldnt believe how easy it is to have pollen on buds you didnt want it on.

the drooping tips and yellower leaves in the back ground is from the hps being too close to that bud site. most of them are this shade of green with orange pistils like in the picture. trichomes are already real cloudy under my microscope?? wtf.
