No Frosting...?

[thunderpob]

hey all.

i only have a few days left till it's harvest time and three of my girls are just fine, couldn't be happier they are frosty as a snowman all over, exactly as expected, the forth one though isn't.

i am growing northern lights under a 400w hps, and they are 68 days from flipping to 12/12

the lady in question has a fat top cola (the biggest of the 4 plants i) and loads of smaller secondary ones, the smaller one are all frosted up but the main one just isn't.

I started them on just plain water (no nutes) to flush them through about 9 days ago.

Question is to you all, at this stage in the cycle, could i see a sudden explosion in crystal production, in which case i will wait a while to chop her.

The only thing i can think that is causing it is that she is too close to the light and is too warm to produce many frosty bits...

Is there anything i could do to help her along, or should i just leave her and accept that she is what she is.

any thoughts?

Hello m8
Cant say i have heard of that before(not so late into flower).Were they All from seeds(could explain the variation)Or were they all clones from the same NL plant?


I have no advice to offer really m8,I would not chop it if it has NO trichs tho...If your worried the other colas on that plant will "Over ripen" u can take them off and leave the one big cola...

Mainly tho Are u sure there ALL NL..If it is a sat looking plant i can understand maybe why no frosting at day 60 odd(mistakes can happen(only u will know))

Hello, sorry you are having problems.

I have seen exactly what you are talking about before with the tip of the plant being too close to the light. I would just move it a good distance away from the light, so that it is still getting light just not that much, my guess is also that most of the hairs on the other buds have changed color but the hairs on the tip are still mostly white? just move her away for a bit and sit back and watch the explostion.

I hope this is helpful,

hey tunefull,

of all the four of my plants this is one that looks like the least sativa'ish fat leaves and quite a bushy look, i have one that is thinner and taller but that one is well on her way.


i have now moved the plant in question well away from the light as AlwaysLearning suggested so, fingers crossed.

Wow that is a nice big ol fat cola on that plant there, let me know how that smokes, it looks great! I hope that plant you moved away from the light goes into winter wonderland mode soon, best of luck!

just had my first toke from this very plant and i can report that she smokes as good as she looks,

i am gonna do a proper smoke report when chop the rest of her and her three sisters... what's your favored drying and curing methods? i am in the mood to experiment
