What’s growin on DGC!! I need some help from the community to diagnose this issue. Not sure what it could be but, I did some research earlier but couldn’t find anything that really helped me figure out how this happened. Lemme give you guys some info about the what I’ve done they past couple days. I will post a pic of the temps and humidity over that past week from my wifi hygrometer.
So this grow I decided to take my cake&chem pheno and pollinate it with a garlic breath 2.0 male that a buddy of mine had obtained from a grower in Michigan. Monday night I turned off all the fans in the tent and set cardboard above and below the trellis net to isolate the plant the best I could given it couldn’t be removed. I used a paintbrush apply the pollen to the chosen plant, then closed the tent and left all fans off for the night.
luckily I woke up in the middle of the night and I checked my phone and it was at 90%rh😬😬. I cut the exhaust fan on low and it came down to normal. I left the cardboard in the tent and the extraction fan on low another day then sprayed the pollinated plant with water just to be sure there wasn’t any pollen that could fly around.
Today I opened the tent and noticed the two buds on a non pollinated plant had bright orange pistols that looked burnt in a way. That one that looks worse and a large leaf laying directly on top of it. Everything was looking normal before the pollinating. The only reason I could think of would be a lack of air and high humidity?? The plant this is on does seem to have nitrogen toxicity?
I blend my own soil and top-dress recipe the other plants seem to be doing fine with the nutrients so it could be genetics. Each plant was top-dressed at the beginning of flower they are at week 3 now. The cake&chem pheno that I pollinated is in the front left corner of the tent in a 1 gallon fabric pot and the other three are the swamp boys seeds shoki that I won from the seed grab in 3 gal fabric pots!! Any one got some answers of what this could be? Keep on growin DGC!
Looks like those pistils may have been pollinated. I had some pistols turn red early in flower and ended up being from a herm throwing pollen on them.
Whenever I am making seeds, my pistils will turn red within 3-4 days of pollen drop. This is my sign to pull my male out. Without fail, I have fully seeded plants. I’m not painting it on like you did and you’d think the high humidity would help negate some of that pollen, but as someone who has pollinated crops that weren’t meant to be, I know that pollen finds a way.
If pollen was ruled out, light intensity and distance (heat generated) could be another culprit. But if it did get seeded, you will know within 5 days as they all turn red and begin to swell. So, I guess wait a week and all will be revealed….?
I don’t believe it was pollinated but I could be wrong. I say this because a few pistols but not all are starting to turn orange on the plant I specifically pollinated. The bud that are showing these symptoms are further from the light than 80% of the canopy. This makes me think it’s probably a wind issue and possibly feeding issue like couch steve and soup said.
There’s a number a reasons why pistils change color. It looks to me like you’ve got to reposition your fans off of the canopy. Those weak looking leaves are getting hit by too much wind and that’s what’s changing your pistils.
Could just be pollinated, could be too much wind or other stress from wind or the humidity swings.
Plants look over fed for sure tho, which may also be contributing.
