My plants are experiencing weird syndrom...about a month flowering, some tops of the biggest colas are changing color
Background pics of tops look like Nute Burn. Brn tips could be PH lockup. Hydro or soil? any run off test?
The tips are getting bleached bro, when you have them too close to the light reguardless of the fact that they are aircooled or not, they will bleach from the intense light.. back the lights off 6 inches or so...
Those are fine actually. You would see some of the leaves discoloring close to the top by the light as well. What you have there are trichomes growing on top of trichomes. It's something they happens with some LED lights out there now. They actually test higher in THC vs the rest of the cola. Here are some of mine. Looking good bro!

first instinct would be light bleach/burn but that picture is kinda poorly focused on the area we want to look at so it could just be normal bud and trich development as well
Shit! They sure we're. I didn't notice the date, but I did noticed the white tops on mine and couldn't find much on them here at all. I thought they were burned as well. I think it's something that not too many people know about. Here's a link to an LED setup with those exact tops. It's a good thing I'm finding out.

Hey Xone92, were you able to find anything on here about the white tops? Just curious, the subject matter is the important thing here I think. Sent from my LG-LS997 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
it could be light bleaching, or it could be a mutation Is Albino Weed Possible, Or Simply A Myth? - RQS Blog
Hey there Growingasmile, thank you for the link. The LED's I'm using don't really put out a lot of heat like my HPS's do and I learned with my HPS to keep them away at least 18" from the tops to avoid bud bleach. Bleached tops are usually very hard ( I learned the hard way) these are soft and healthy. I thought they might be albino as well, but the tops are appearing on three different strains. Vashon Velvet in Washington is using the same fixtures as I am. Wonder if it's the fixture? Sent from my LG-LS997 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Interesting 3 different strains... I suppose you could accidentally be forcing a mutation with your spectrum or maybe a chemical from your nutes or tap water are causing the mutation, have you ever used the home depot water test vial? they're free
Actually all 4 strains have them. I will grab a water test kit at home Depot and check the results. I'm on a well that's 710 feet deep drilled through solid basalt. pH is 7.3 out of the tap with around 110 ppm. I've done a few runs with the same water and HPS and have never seen this. I will update with the water results though. Thanks for the brain racking bro! Sent from my LG-LS997 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
