what's going on with my buds?

I am not going to argue the scientifically proven photo cycles of a plant, it's physiological reactions to photo period etc.... Because it is clear that no one here cares about logical facts or solutions. A light leak will not cause a plant to re-veg at 7 weeks of 12/12..... it will however force the plant to produce male pollen sacks. The process of changing from a budding plant to a vegging one is a violent, stressfull, and LENGTHY one. It takes a month just for the budding to stop, and another 2 weeks after that for the reversion to occur. Look at the size and maturity of the OP's buds... there are no signs of pollen sacks, the bodies of the buds are dense and packed with crystals, with only the tips stretching above the others (foxtail) It is amusing that no one asked about this plants genetics... as it seems to look like a plant from bag seed (not an insult) and mutations tend to occur randomly at a much higher percentage with inferior genetics. Mutations do occur unprompted when a plant has weak genes.

If the plant were to revert to vegging it would take a continuous and permanent lengthened photo-period, and not just a leak letting in a little bit of light into the room. There are acceptable lumen levels as well as color spectrum that flowering plants can be subject to without disturbing the concentration of hormones that are developing during dark hours.

I am done with this thread and the OP knows what to do... again am tired of these cookie cutter epsom salt, cal mag, PH diagnoses from novice growers....
