Early browning of buds

spoonmanu2started grow question 4y ago

Hey guys (gals)... Had tremendous rains the last few days with my outdoor grow and am noticing some premature browning of the buds. Any idea what this could be? I'm guessing early bud rot which stinks. I've barely used nutrients (1-1-1). Perplexed

Perhaps the rain droplets themselves damaged the buds. Looks like to me IMO when I accidentally touch the hairs on my flowers they, after a day or so start to wither and change color from white to brown or red. Hope this may help give some insight. Also bud rot is always more likely after heavy rains giving the rain water hasn't evaporated off the plants and more importantly the flowers. CHEERS!!!

When to harvest. Amber trichomes but white pistils.I was surprised to find about 10% amber trichomes on each of these 4 plants today. 2 GMO cookies and 2 Purple #1 by Dutch Passion. One of the plants has some amber trichomes but almost all of the pistils are still white.

Harvest ready? First grow.After 18 weeks, is this "Quick one" in living soil ready to harvest? This is my first grow, and just returned from a weekend away. Lower colas seem to be browning more than the top.

Do stems thicken up during flower?More a question out of Idol curiosity, I've managed to train an even canopy with what will hopefully be 7 main colas, and there's a few sites that aren't in the top canopy that look like they could do well Will the stems continue to thicken with a fan on them when flower starts?

1 Plant good nugs 4 Plants are airy flaky not dense at all.My last grow had 5 plants going & overwatered once & believe had some runoff that the plants sat in. I suspect this damaged them pretty significantly. One of the plants came out amazing, nice dense strong nugs. The other 4 plants have airy nugs not dense at all. What caused this?
