Purple Kush clone in organic soil (Burn1) 2 weeks into flower and they have yellow dots in the very center of all the buds. Its like they have been shaved on top in the very center. All my other plants look normal (only 1 PK).

I have been reading about some issues with PK but havent seen this problem.

Check out the sticky at the top that says complete guide to pH and so forth, there is questions in there you fill out, we have no idea what is causing your problem, because your info is so little we have no idea, so answer the questions and post them here, pictures help out with a more proper diagnosis.

Looks like a tennis ball (about1-2mm)at the tops of each bud. I have read about hermies with some PK lines and I want to get it out if that is the case. All the other plants are great.

You have close up of these pictures, it looks like the thing got bleached in some ways, the first few pictures look like the leaves got too close to the light at one point......

and the last pictures...

Does this end up greening back up or has this happened before?
If it does not, most likely the plant is suffering from a micronutrient related problem like iron/sulfur other than that your plant is looking great and no other maladies besides this one, you are very light with the micronutrients....

are you using them every other watering or? Your answer sorta confused me as to how often and how much you use......

For the last 7 waterings its been:calmag (4ml/gallon):Gognats (per instructions-lite side):Calmag:Gognats:Calmag:water:water. Switched to spring water after first gognats dose. Temps got way up ~90F for 8 hrs but light has always been greater than 2.5 feet. Some are closer and tolerating it well. They sag at ~2 days and I water with ~ 2.5 cups. Sometimes they sag more but they rebound nicely. Othewise things look green.

can you get a better close up? those small pictures it's so hard to tell....

also is the lighter green, do they start to green up over time? cal mag has a little iron in it but not sulfur and your using spring water and before you used distilled....

did this happen before or after you stopped using distilled?

Honestly from the way the picture looks it looks like it's a lighter green and ends up greening back up slowly.... it's hard to tell too though cause the picture is soo small.
