late stage hermie or what is going on?

[crownxr]

First time grow and this is around the start of week 9 of flower. Seems like its starting to stretch? Any input would be greatly appreciated and sorry for the HPS being on ahead of time.

Looks like it's starting to reveg. Have you had any timer malfunctions? Most likely reason.

 

[crownxr]

Not to my knowledge. I'm away during the light cycle for 10 hours of it but it should still be set fine. No power outages or anything along those lines.

She definitely looks to be reveging. 9 weeks into flowering she should be done anyways?Is that spider mite damage I am seeing?

 

[crownxr]

If that is the case what are my options? Trichs are just now beginning to turn slightly cloudy but no ambers at all. Would I be best off letting nit go for a few more weeks or chopping it?

 

[crownxr]

I do not believe its spider mites but I may be wrong. They have small bumps on the leaves but not any discoloration. The plant is sweet kush and grow time from the seed bank mentioned around 9 weeks flower. And thats 9 weeks from flipping the switch.

Heres a closer picture of the leaves. I think its just resin but it is my first grow so im just taking things as they come.

 

[Redbuddz]

You're right, it is just trichs on the leaves. Buds must be real frosty? Not sure where you are at with your ferts but I would certainly stop all ferts at this point. I suspect you are judging the trichs with a microscope? What I often do with my plants as they near the end is I will start to harvest the most mature buds. Maybe just one or two buds at first and as it dries that then helps me gauge when to cut the rest of her down.

Hope that helps

It really looks like you must have a light leak or your timer is malfunctioning as stated above. It sucks that this is your first harvest. If it were mine I'd make concentrates from it(bho). The flowers probably won't turn out like you want them and I'd guess they may be seeded at this point as well. Check for light leeks and check your timer. Then look into the concentrates forum and maybe you will find a way to get something from this botched grow like oil or budder or something. Live and learn and your next grow will be better. Good luck!

My major issue is that its only the sweet kush that is showing these signs. The dela haze I have does not look as it is reveging or having any problems like this and they are both in the same tent. Along with two bag seeds. Is there anything else that could cause just this one plant to have these issues and not the others?

It looks light to much nitrogen fed to the plant. A better pic in regular light would help greatly.

What was the feeding like, how much and of what?

 

[crownxr]

Ive been using general hydroponics maxigrow and maxibloom the entire cycle. In addition I used advanced nutrients bud factor x, big bud, bug ignitor, and just recently used overdrive. Kepy the ppm on the kush around 800-1300 with no issues and ph around 5.5-6. Temps between 70-80 in dwc setup. 400w mh and hps veg n flower.

I had a multi strain grow lasst winter with two plants of 12 showing growth like yours, I had a space heater that was putting off an orange glow, which I thought could be light contamination causing the plant to re-veg, but I also was using rock resinator for the first time which may or may not have had an effect. Sounds like you used every bloom booster you could find, this could be what caused your issue. Next grow you should just use maxi grow in veg up to 3rd week 12/12, then maxibloom the rest of the grow, ph and nothing else. Many of the best growers on this site use this formula. I use it as well. You should get to know your plant and you grow space and dial in both before you start using additives...Then, if you still feel like you need to, use only one at a time. Four is overkill and a recipe for disaster.

 

[Redbuddz]

I agree, sounds like to much ferts but it could also just be the genetics of the seed. Not every seed is cut out to be a premium mother plant
