What makes a plant do this?

I was given a free bottle of that brand at the pre Cup party in Clio last year. Very concentrated at 1 mil per gallon. Good stuff.

Yup. I got this bottle for free and will be buying some armorSI to compare to.

The great part about silica is you can use it as ph up.

I use the higher strength dose @ 2.5ml per gal.

It really does make a difference in hydro.

There are complicated botanical reasons for this,in laymans terms,this happens with wind pollination.One of these days when you are growing 70 at a time,this will be common knowledge for you.Until then keep dewing what youre dewing bro.

Remember new members:

Mt. Dew for veg
Baja blast for flowering

If you want that true ocean grown (og) kick. Got to flower using that Baja blast.

Dont forget Code Red late in flower for the strong terpines.

Great finisher there. Makes buds so gooey.

I use Mountain Holler from sav a lot. It even has a pic of the sun on the can, which says a lot.

Yes it is currently flowering, and yes I've had steady fan's on it, not 24/7 but someday's I've probably had a steady fan on them so it could explain it(I also do move my plants around the grow room to so there not in the same spot all the times to prevent small tiny buds on spots they are lacking light) unfortunately I didn't get to put mt dew in it this time, maybe next grow

Theres not any explanation needed or a mystery to be solved....we all have plants that do this. Its as normal as the leaves.

And whats this mountain dew shit everyone keeps teasing you about?

Do yourself a favor and dig up ryans threads...its comedy gold.

Hes not doing what i think hes doing? Oh good lord.

That mountain dew BS is pretty annoying. Dont want ppl to start hating on me somehow but, seriously. You guys made your point.

flowered a plant with Mt dew and water tasted and smelled like it because I didn't have proof I'm a liar lmao shit worked didn't yield a lot but some people are to scared to try something and what's it hurt if you got a bunch test with

Its just nice strong knuckles likely from a fan blowing on it and strengthening the nodes........or its the Dew. Do you have a strong fan blowing on it 24/7? Nothing to worry about though.

How strong of fans do you have in your room. It could be itself healing from moving so much.

I ate a booger earlier and thought of you Ryan

I have Kosher Kush plants with the same "large knuckles" on the base of the nodes and mine are still in veg right now. I have 2 oscillating fans blowing on them. Great for the room environment & it strengthens the branches in preparation for heavy yields. Some plants respond better than others with this though. I have GG4 in my momma room and she does NOT like the fan to blow on her. I had issues with the leaves growing in a "swirling" pattern with edges that looked eat up by a caterpillar or something. I was at a loss for figuring out what the deal was. Then I came across a thread on here about GG4 not responding well to being under direct fan. Sure enough, I moved my fans and the problems were resolved immediately. I do wish I could give credit to the member who posted it but I cant find the thread.

Does anyone know why a plant does this, is a build up of something? I've only noticed it on 1 plant might have 1 more like that a different strain though

Could be from burning fungus gnat larvae with a torch but look no cooties

Huh?
