They are still young and white. Give them time and they will bulk up, put on some color, and get some nice aroma.

Much like me, they may be slow to mature!

What could cause a Gelato to grow only popcorn buds?
This is, luckily, not my plant but the sister of my Gelato Auto which for a long time did not want to grow. The pictured one did, but ver strangely: Thin, weak, extremely long branches carrying a multitude of popcorn buds. Grower is experienced. Any ideas about the cause?

Post infestation Crisis Management advice
Black Jack auto (Day 67) was infested with mites. Did a big defoliation, dusted with diatomaceous earth and put her outside. There's white spots under the leaves, so not done with bugs, but smells like there's something there.đŹ Is there anything I could try to get some terps on?

Hey friends! My middle plant is tacoing and shooting out a lot of white pistils (only plant doing so and is directly under sf4000) . Is this a light issue, phenotype or mainly a ph and nutrient ovefeeding issue as other taller plants arenât displaying these signs. TIA!

sparse flowers
Can anyone advise me? Is there a problem with it or is it standard? It seems to me that the flower does not grow much. The other flowers are full. This is the RQS Critical fem variety. Is it possible that it lacks fertilizer? Or is it a bad phenotype?

Slow finish Critical Purple
Please see my post. Big John cola today, Big John Cola 3 weeks ago. This plant doesn't seem to want to finish. Is this strain normally slow to finish? Trichomes are cloudy, none are amber yet. I'm waiting for a few amber trichs, then I will harvest. If they ever do.

She is supposedly a 56 day plant. Did I do something wrong? Itâs day 63 and Iâm still waiting for flowers. Will she still make buds or am I just growing a âweedâ? Buds not fattening was the best symptom available for selection.

Soft hanging yellow leaves, some with brown spots in the middle. Deficiency, Nutrient Burn or what could cause this ?
Hey guys, I got a problem with two of my 4 plants. They started to develop yellow droopy and soft leaves that start to fall off on their own. Iâm not sure if itâs a nutrient deficiency or blockout from ph or something else. I watered them only with water ph 6.5.

Should I pluck?
The top of the main colas are very dense and nice but beneath the larger top leaves is still really larfy and underdeveloped. Should I pull some of these leaves to allow more light. Iâm at the start of week 8.

Bro wtf harvest or nah or is something going on
Hey gromoâs ..Is it harvest time or is it a deficiency or should I add calmag or is it ph? I already fed it 500 ml of potassium and calmag and then wound up cutting it down so Iâd think possibly harvest? But thought Iâd check anyways to be sure. Thanks friends. Much love.
