White Bud Tops
Edeplantstarted grow question 4 years ago
Painkiller F36. The upper colas' tops turned white (don't mean the hairs, it's clean white bud parts). I heard this happens when some strains get to close to the light. I don't mind it, but is there any downside to this and do these white parts stay white during drying?

“We’ve had white tips analyzed separately from the green part of the same bud and found they have higher [concentrations of] THC and much higher terpenes than the rest of the plant,”
“We were shocked at the ‘white tips’ on our first crop,” said Gress. “We Googled and read that this was damaged, bleached, or burned bud. But they looked so healthy that we didn’t believe it.”

I have this with my first grow also with new Cobs on my Sugar Gom Automatic. I smoke this but i cannot say now how strong was the effect. You dont must cut this from Plant when you have this.

Light bleaching, very common with LED lighting when plants get to close the light is so intense but with almost no heat it results in this, other lighting like HID would just burn the crap out of the plant tops. Light bleaching looks cool but the bud are useless.

Those hairs are growing inside the calyxes, when calyxes fat enough they might explode and show those white hair explosions late during bloom.
Heat or light stress might do that, also cutting or topping a tiny bit of the bud will trigger that.
In no way that's lower potency, but you might need to keep the plant flowering a couple of weeks more because those pistils aren't mature.
Happy smokes!

Hello. That is burnt plant material and won't turn back to green. If it got so hot to burn the plant, you melted all the thc crystals around that area. If it bothers you , you can cut it of at harvest time. Good Luck. Chuck.

Buds that have been bleached tend to be low potency or even have no potency (no available THC or other cannabinoids). It will change once it's dry but you will be able to tell the difference in appearance from a normal bud. Hopefully I answered your question and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.

I know it takes time for buds to stack and fatten up. My question is, will molasses be of any benefit to me or is that for the organic grows? As I've read the sugar feeds the microbes and not the plant itself. Also how's she looking? if it was your plant what would you change?5 years ago

I know breeders timeline for seeds is unrealistic, but this plant has gone two weeks past expections for seed. Not that I'm rushing it, but does she look ready? I'm only curious so I can have room in my tent for the next two for my perpetual setup. Thanks in advance! 😊5 years ago

So I’ve seen a lot of people grow the strains I have in my garden right now with lots of colors. I’m in week 3 of flower and I have the slightest of fade but basically I’m all green. Which has been a pattern. Nothing wrong with that but any suggestions to boost color? Temp? Food?Week 7

Discoloration progressing from old fan to colas, is this a concern/requires action?I have some discoloration happening to OB5,more pics in week 6. Started first on few old fan leaves with yellow & brown/purple patches and now is occurring to the several of the colas and is spreading to more fan leaves. Water pH may have been in the 5-6 range last week. HlpPlz

We're entering week 13 here. Hopefully, I added adequate pictures for feedback. Should I go ahead and start flushing these next two weeks to prepare for harvest? A few pics and a video were uploaded to show what I see under a magnifying glass. Don't want to go to early or late.4 years ago

Harvest help again... pleaseSecond grow, I’m second guessing myself!
I took a few branches last week for my husband who likes a heady high; I prefer more of a couchlock high but we both prefer high thc bud. Planned on harvesting Saturday morning, should I harvest as planned? Now? Wait longer?
Thanks!🌱

White Spot Main ColasHeyHo fellow Cannabistas,
Please have a look at todays photos of the widow. I mentioned bright white Spots in the Top of the Main colas. First thought was light/heatstress, but it's 23°C on the top of the plants... in my opinion, good...
Ideas anybody? Thx, OimRausch
