Well it could mean to much food or they need to be washed out. When that happens to me , a good washing out always works wonders. Hope it helps.

Yes leaving water in a unsealed vessel the lighter chemicals with evaporate within 24 hours. I have lots of buckets and pitchers lying around my house filled with water waiting to be used.

did you grow it on HPS all the way from seedling?... or did u use that floro I see in ur pics for most of the veg?..

anyways.. ur plant is looking nice.. u can speed up top cola production by relieving the plant of it's lower buds which will ammount to nothing anyways.. I don't mean remove a branch or anything, just pull off anything that looks as if it will just be shake/duff in the end... It will redistribute the growth to larger, more promising colas...

Also, you can trim those very low fan leaves that get no light..

I used the flourescent for the first 4 weeks...2 40 watt plant bulbs...Actually the side buds have way more crystals on them then the cola, so I've been kind of leary of pulling them. I just bought a new 100x pocket micro to look at the trichomes.

It appears sativa dominant so I'm hoping for another 2 weeks till harvest. I turned lights back on March 6th. I'm prepared to wait it out till i'm 50/50 on the trichs. I got a pretty decent sized sack to hold me over

hey man looks good.. but you gotta trim those fan leaves at the bottom so your plant can breathe!.. do it now!

Nice cola.

I can assume that the plant is breathing..it has an oscillating fan on it at all times. I appreciate the input, but i'm a little leary of "trimming it"

Dude, I read your journal, & looking really good! You obviously have a greenthumb. OHM makes some good points. Some people call the lower buds "sucker buds" cause they suck the plants energy away from the main cola. So you might want to pick them. He (Ohm) also mentions trimming some of the lower leaves, while that will improve airflow, and reduce the chance of mold. My concern is also about light penetration, and I don't think you have a problem with airflow.

So far as trimming leaves, that's a debate that will never end. Since you asked my opinion, here it is, I would trim some leaves, I found that the light was not penetrating as far down as I wanted, so I trimmed some (a few) of the upper leaves at 20 days from harvest, and again at 10 days from harvest.

Please remember it is much easier to not trim enough leaves, and come back tomorrow and trim some more leaves off, than it is to try to crazy-glue those suckers back into place, cause you've cut too many off.

Point is, don't go crazy. At 20 days from harvest, you arent going to hurt anything, and the increased (light) penetration may help.
Peace
If your not comfortable trimming.....don't do it than.

I was looking at those little buds on the sides with scissors in hand and I don't have the heart to cut them. A couple of them are showing about 70% of the hairs red. 1 of the buds is really chunky. I apologize, but I just can't do it.
