Hello Fellow Growers! (pics included)
I am experiencing (again) bizzare, tight, and deformed early flowers during the first two+ weeks of 12/12.
I am using the GH 3part system with Ebb n Grow in rock wool grow chunks with Hydroton on top only.
Lights- 600w, 12-16" above plant tops. My water is from a well, and the ppm's are 185 so I use the Hard Water Micro from GH. PPM's with full nutrient added is reading at around 900ppm- a bit low, but better that too high?
What I am seeing is severely tight budlets with the hairs turning brown immediately upon showing and most development stunted. The buds look like little pineapples under a 16x loop. ALSO, I noticed some super tiny white, not spotted mite/ aphid looking bugs that are nearly invisible. I DO have lengthy experience with two spotted spider mites, and use a mint/soap/ glycerin spray to easily control those, but I feel my current issue is more serious. I am currently 18 days into flower and the photos are current.
Several successful crop have preceded this one, except for my last one which did the same funky growth and I chopped it down last month.
Any help in the matter is greatly appreciated!
