Buds White at the tip tops only on sweet zz by RQS with 8-10 less DLI than my other plants. Is it a light burn or is it a mutation?

I noticed around wk 3 flower the tips of her buds were white. I thought maybe the lights were a bit too bright for her (60DLI). Even though no other plants showed same signs. So I dimmed lights some. week 5 she’s at 45 an other plants at 55 and she still has white tips growing

You dont have a fan blowing directly onto these buds do ya? Only simulate a light breeze with oscillation, to high and the plants and buds could get wind burn 🤞hope you sort it Growmie 🙏

Could very well be genetics, try have a look for other growers photos of the same strain and on the catalogue for this cultivar, your buds look ok

It's more likely than not bleaching though VERY rarely you'll see it as a mutation. Note that a bleached tip isn't gonna go green(aka repair itself), so all you can hope for is to stop more tops from bleaching. The one and only "albino" mutation I've personally witnessed was in a reveged plant in its 2nd trip to flower under a "blurple" type light. It was a dwarf and there was no way it was bleaching, plants 3x its size were fine.

It is normal, wait a little bit (1-2 weeks) and you will see most of them turning brown !

I can see the bleaching quite clearly in the 2nd pic. don't know if I see it in first or 3rd with how many pistils there are. Ideal DLI is aorund 35-40 with standard CO2, you can sometimes bump this upto 45-50 but bleaching occurs and plant stress. 60DLI is to much unless all your other environmentals are in check and extra CO2 is being provided. Plants will adapt as much as they can, to bright light or heavy feeds. Just dial it back and it should be ok. Good Luck!
