Early red hairs/ stress

I can induce this condition at any time by overfertilizing and using Kool Bloom. The buds stay small and hard, the bud leaves get wide and darker green, and the hairs turn red way too early. I always call it a fuck up.
I actually checked my EC and it’s solid. Not really that high. What happened was that my fan went out for a day and my heat shot up to 100F for a few hours along with my humidity being 90% until I figured it out during a check. This was during times where night temps were 60F so it was a major shock. The sugar cane and jelly breath were the main ones affected. The others were fine. Then temps went from a normal 60F to a constant 80F+ overnight and season change temps kicked in. I put in my window AC units the next day. Seems like IN house genetics may be sensitive. Which is fine, it’s no fault of theirs.

Some strains have a poor yield, but make up for it in other ways. What strain is that?
Sugar Cane by IHG. the frost is amazing but yeah it seems finicky to the slightest mishap. I got clones going so I’ll rerun it and try again with hopefully more stable luck.

my main concern is that it’s only the middle of week six and there’s no signs of new growth or seed development. But there are nanners and I found a pollen sack so it did herm. But now it’s tightened up with no development in almost two weeks and cloudy/amber trichs. So I’m confused on if I should just pull it now or maybe let it go another two weeks. My other concern is that i didnt Get a chance to do a before harvest flush.

It's a beauty even if it's not a high yielder.

Plants drink a lot at 100 degrees and can consume too much nutes along with the heat stress. Plants can handle 100 degrees outside with unlimited air flow but they don't tolerate it so well inside. It probably isn't your problem since your EC is solid.

the tent was at 100 def for like an hour or less. Chill lol. I never said my temps were a constant 100 deg. And I’ve also flushed since then along with IPM.

I already said they hermed multiple times due to the heat stress. Idk what you’re trying to prove lol I’m confused. I never said the plant wasn’t stressed. All I said was my EC was solid since I check it regularly along with my medium PH. I feel if it was a severe overfeeding issue it would have effected a majority of my plants. I May be wrong tho , Who knows but like I said I reduced my EC and flushed just to ease any stress and the EC has been stable. Typically with overfeeding if the plant is overfed then your EC will build in your medium since the plant can’t consume anymore. also the incident happened weeks ago, not yesterday.

So your plant hermied from high temperatures for less than an hour? That’s interesting.

You certainly seem defensive. Chill lol.

Bruh I wasn’t saying it was impossible. I’m saying I literally checked all the boxes for overfeeding and nutrient uptake already so it wasn’t that. Then when I simply innocently said I checked my EC he came at me like I had no idea what I was talking about with that. It was just a simple statement that I didn’t think was major.

sometimes you get the type of energy back that you give.

That be my first thought as well if you blow your leaf tips out and have early red in the pistils id suspect over feeding theres other things that can cause it sure but thats the most common reason imo
