Im in RDWC start of 4th week of flower,pistils are not standing up, more so laying down.Is this strain dependent?This is Black Chemo strain.I also have a Black Widow but the hairs are more straight up on that girl.
Wondering if this is normal?Light is HPS 600 about 22" above canopy
.Thanks

Got other plants? If so look for nanners. Not saying it is but almost looks like it's been pollinated. Don't freak out and from the pictures I'm just speculating. Still something to check.

I’m not able to find any info on the net. Would have thought there’d be something. Just like we read the leaves for signs I thought maybe the pistils also could tell us?Of course yes there’s pollination but that’s a different look.
Anyway ,I’m going with it’s just the strain or the light.

No. Nothing I’ve done has done this. I have two plants of this strain. Every top cola is like this. 3-4” down there standing up a little better.inhave a new HPS bulb. That’s the only thing I’ve changed. But I also have other strains in there that look better. See pic.

Has to be environment. Temp runs pretty steady at 69 at night and 74 with lights on. Humidity 40-50%. Water temp 66F. Gonna flush tonight and see.

F6E0F732-BC4E-4C6E-9907-F93F32A4BEC5.jpeg So things have gone to shit just like last grow. All pistils are gone from the main colas. Calax are all swollen like they went to seed but there’s nothing in them.
The leafs growing out the side was a light leak I found so fixed that. Not sure if that would cause the pistils to die off?

So I also have the same strain in dirt. It looks normal lots of hairs I’m at week 7 now. So this makes me think it’s my rdwc but I also have one in the hydro that’s also looking normal. Both of them were in the light leak path.

Last grow I kept the ppm at 6-800. This grow I added some micro stuff and ran around 1000-1400. Still same results.

I’m lost as too what I need to do to fix this problem. Next up is GG4 and I don’t know what to change.

Also how do I get the pic to show up between paragraphs?

Room is 5x5x7. Painted white plywood walls
Usually around 20-24” away from plants

Some of the buds that were farther away are much bigger but the hairs are still gone. Less leafy as there was no light leak. Was about day 35-40 of flower when they started to die off. Last grow it was around day 25-30.
I’m just rambling things off as I can think of them hoping someone can catch my problem.
First pic is the dirt plant same strain
Second pic is the one in hydro that looks some what normal. It got a little of the light leak

Most all the top buds are mainly leafs coated in resin. The buds are really small

I hope so, last week I yanked it out of my clone room and stepped on it then threw it into the fire pit dowsed in gasoline.

Why would the one in dirt grow normal?

The other one in hydro that’s normal came from the same seed batch. But has 11 leaves as everything else was 7. So ya genetics.

You know I would put it down to seeds and not clones from the same mother.

Have you ever noticed how hydro makes for hollow stems and soil doesn't? There are differences there. Either way the plant is fine.

I had a gsc that did this, she was sensitive to fucking everything and would yield me like 30 pieces of premium purple calyxs if i fucked up lol.. Not saying this is your issue but it's possible with low yielders.

Are you hunting in dirt and cloning for hydro? If so, you could come across picky gene's that weren't shown in dirt.

The dirt one is from seed way back in July,It lived a hard life.Was an extra.All the others went in hydro.2 of the ones in there now are clones from the seeds that went to hydro.Not the dirt plant.
Ive got different clones this next round that came from coco,lets see what they do.
Thx.
I have a couple of Black widow clones still,it was the black chemo i killed.Maybe ill try them in coco for fun and see if there any better/different.
