Genetic quirk? The plant looks otherwise healthy

Hey RG, that's a sight! Can't tell you what though. Some buds do funny things, it's called something I can't remember. I had a couple do this

Is yours getting to look anything like it?

 

[Rich303]

Maybe in due time it might look like that my tips aren’t burn. Maybe I need more nudes over the bud cycle from the start ?

LED bleaching from those blurple lights of yours. Might be too close.

Light Bleached Cannabis Buds Sometimes Turn White
Light bleaching is most common with high-power LEDs and HPS grow lights because these can be brighter than the sun. Basically, bud bleaching is what happens when buds get too much light, kinda like how hair can get bleached if you spend plenty of time in the sun.

Well not able to do anything now , next grow I will keep it a further distance from the top of the grow , I try to keep it 12” to 14”above the tops

Every lights a little different, and every strain has its own quirk on distance. My flowers like 16in at 80% @VIVOSUN vsf6450

But have grown past the light bar also about 10-12in

This one definitely looks like it has been bleached by the lamps.
This happened to me in a greenhouse long time ago.
It turns out that they can mutate and become albinos.

I'm really curious what that albino bud looks like after curing, @kosio bosio . A golden color maybe?

Looks like sh*t...brown, doesn't get you high.
Unfortunately the THC (or the bigger part of it) dies when mutating.

That’s very interesting , almost looks
Like it’s wants to be a
variegated plant

Thanks kindly KB

Totally that. With Mars FC6500’s (730W) I run 8” when I can but with Co2 - 12” otherwise.

My only comment on that look is I had something similar last time. Thought light burn. But actually the plant had died. Should have harvested that day. Natural death. But then got some mould. Can’t tell from those pictures but consider that too. Whatever the seed guidance says it can earlier as much as later.

Great tip thanks I didn’t know that. Makes sense though. CL

You can put the lamp a bit farther away so you can at least slow down the bleaching.

Sorry replying to my own post - but for me the lesson learned was towards the end - gloves on daily and pull the buds apart for inspection you see any weirdness. If you do - chop it. @Carmen Ray was all over it recently and made a great save. Not saying its that but the two can go hand in hand - looked like light burn to me then I had all this white stuff I didn’t want chasing a few more days flower.

Have a check right inside the buds.

Thanks Nick, you're right. I have been doing battle with bud rot this past week. I wouldn't have known what to look for if I had not spotted the spores in a photograph I took of trichomes. I think it's a very good idea to be checking for signs at this stage of the grow, particularly with any kind of variation in growth. This is the photo that got me harvesting.

Might want to Google “white buds on cannabis”. It really doesn’t look like light burn to me, there is a mutation where the buds turn white from an overload of terpenes and Trichomes. It’s a good thing, as long as you can rule out light burn.

Thanks P P T
Good article ,
That’s what it resembles , abundance of Turpines , not light burn

with all respect
Thanks kindly
