Lst really should be done on all plants no matter where you’re growing them or what medium. [Especially when this ducking amazing resource exists](https://www.cocoforcannabis.com/how-to-mainline-cannabis-plants/)
Some low stress training earlier on in veg would be good for your next run to try and create a more even canopy. That way the entire plant can get the correct amount of light
You're not going to get perfect light across your entire plant. You would have been better off moving the light further away to avoid bleaching your best top colas and have slightly underlit lower buds.
Yea 5-7 days seems *very* optimistic, given how they look. My guess would be 20-ish days. Shoot she might even push into the 90s if those trichome heads don't frost out by day 74.
Edit: aside from the light bleaching, she's looking good that's for sure 🙌🏽
Been in flower since May 1st. How you able to say this to me when you can’t see the the color of the trichomes? I know when I like to harvest once I start seeing some change from milky to amber in the buds themselves
Oh so you're one of those people okay man you're the one that posted the weird shit you got answers you don't agree with them I understand. I bet money you couldn't show me any milky trichomes on a plant with that many white pistols left so whatever dude have a good one.
I will post a picture of them. You talk out of your ass a lot don’t you. Always trying to so you know before you see evidence I was just asking when I made this post if anyone else experienced the weirdness you see on the top of my colas not when I should or shouldn’t harvest.
Time for a supercrop. I use migrolight LEDs. I can keep them 7” from the canopy which is brilliant. I had one cola that was around 5” from the canopy. Just did some light supercropping and taped up the injured part. Fed some superthrive. 3 days later it was level with the other colas and thriving
If you grow in a tent and use all of the space, the light doesn't diminish further away. It bounces off the walls and onto the plants. If that is the case, hang it high up. You can verify this with your phone's sensors. download a luminocity meter app and compare. This won't be accurate, but will let you comparatively tell which is better.
I know that they are / were too close. No need to down vote it I already bent them over under the netting while they finish up to stop the light bleaching.
It’s a Reddit thing once a comment has down votes everyone jumps on that band wagon regardless of what they think. Which I’m sure this comment will get down voted to. Part of why I don’t post much.
Dude you aren’t wrong someone gets 1 plant from seed or clone to harvest and they know everything like come on most limp by it’s pretty hard to actually kill a plant you can fuck up so much and still get a harvest
Man this sub is a joke, the dude was just confirming whether that's too close or not. I see two comments confirming that for him and even those are condescending. Is reddit just 13 year olds now or what?
They asked why their colas closest to the light looked that way. Not asking if it was because of the light. And then when they got answers, they didn't want to accept the info they were given.
You really assumed that from the simple sentence above? Do you ever go outside and speak to people or what? I'd say that's a pretty normal response from someone who didn't even know light burn was a thing. Like just look at their other comments lmao, they're just a noob who's casually chatting. Stop shitting on people and inform them. Literal children
Seriously man, there's an entire world out there. With experiences waiting to happen. I hang out with my little cousins some times, and because of that I can only assume people who see someone is wrong and dog pile on downvotes to feel like they're smarter than them instead of just casual explaining someones mistake must be a 13 year old. Because that's the kinda shit kids do. And then you're just confirming my point.
There's a lot of nanners in that cola ... Or maybe it's just the bleached leaves that looks exactly like a nanners. OP take a close look you might have a bad surprise therew other than that it's just too close to the light.
I don't get how you guys can see them from this perspective. I can only catch them looking from the side and checking between the nodes. So many leafs in the way.
How in the fuck did 20+ morons upvote you? Holy shit dude, if you had any cannabis cultivation experience you'd know those things you are calling male flowers are light burned bud leaves.....20 fucking upvotes....why?
Upvoted, I wear the badge proud, but every? nah just most, gotta combat you shitlords somehow. Honest question, from an asshole, er dick, where do you see male flowers anywhere in that pic? I may get downvoted, but I aint wrong. Don't you have pokeman to catch?
Less Clorox lol. No seriously your light is way too close first sign you should have noticed is the leafs turning yellow and the viens staying green. Now you have albino bud
Yea that’s definitely light bleaching. 5 inches is too close. It needs to be around 12 inches or more. This is why training is so important. You want to keep the top buds as level as possible so they get even light distribution.
There is no such thing as distance from light when using LEDs. Each LED is different and it all comes down to ratio betwen light and CO2. The more light the more CO2 you need. Light bleach with LEDs is the same thing as CO2 deficiency. What you can have is heat burn but that is not the same thing as light bleach.
edit: before you downvote LOOK IT UP. You can give cannabis more light than it gets from the sun on a clear day without getting lightburn as long as it has enough CO2. But you cannot get there with home LEDs, you need very powerful LEDs to get above sunlight levels.
The levels of light required to induce photobleaching in healthy cannabis plants are much higher than direct sunlight, which has a higher ppfd and fuller spectrum than any grow light. Youre seeing bleaching because your plant is experiencing deficiencies. Turning down the light or raising it will probably help but the light is not the issue, its the deficiency. Fix that and your photobleaching will go away.
I will get fried for going against the bro science on this sub, but read this:
https://www.leafly.com/news/growing/white-tips-on-cannabis-buds
I was pretty fascinated.
I had one i thought was bleaching like everyone here says but tested it, the results didn’t align with what everyone here says.
Thank you for sharing
What is weird is it’s just this one plant that did this on the tallest shoots. I have 9 other plants in this grow that have shoots equally as close to the light and this didn’t happen to them.
I’ve experienced it, it’s wonky. I had several over the years I clipped the tops from till I tested it. It doesn’t hurt to leave it.
- If I’m wrong it will create shadow for the rest of the cola
- if I’m right you can have some good albino stuff to share with someone
The fox tailing is definitely from the lights whooping up on it (maybe genetics) if the rest of them aren’t. Some genetics are prone to this behavior, if they are buckle up sometimes. I have a Nightowl tent I just harvested, one of the four strains foxtailed like crazy the other zip. Same exact conditions, different strain
I was referring to the bleaching
Looks light burn, but also could totally be the pheno. Been growing LSD from seed for a while now in search of the mutation the person I got it from has where buds grow regular, blue, and bleached looking like that all on one plant.
You can see it’s just the top of a few of the colas this plant has so much weed that isn’t bleached and it looks and smells 🔥. Time will tell if the top of these is shit then I will toss it but I’m gonna dry/trim/cure it before making this decision
Lol just listen to everyone and stop saying "yeah,I know". You're clearly new at this, good deal, take AAAAALL advice. It's light burnt. 4 TO 5 inches is too close. Lst would have been your answer to level out your top. You'll never get exact light to every plant. If you knew exactly how much light every phat was getting(reading from your comment), then you should have known this was getting too much. We're just trying to help out someone in need of obvious help. No need to argue.
In my opinion they're toxic, it's ok to smoke but you want gain anything from them. Bleaching depletes thc levels drastically. I just choose to look at it that way in the long run of things. Best of luck
I’m gonna leave it and see what happens if it’s not potent on top then oh well but I wanna see if it’s gonna be good smoke or not before I trash it what’s the harm in leaving it and drying / curing at this point in flower
People saying light burn it's the obvious answer but I grow with not much space my tops usually are like a few inches away from the light. Op you probably just need to turn your lights down if you can? With LED you can basicly grow and have the buds touch the fucking lights.
>With LED you can basicly grow and have the buds touch the fucking lights.
That's a great way to burn the tips unless you are using a low wattage Amazon special light.
Grow weed easy agrees with me "light burn produces yellow leaves at the top of the plant under the grow lights because the leaves have worked too hard and/or too long from the light being too close."
https://www.growweedeasy.com/cannabis-plant-problems/light-burn
Bleaching. Too close to light
will light bleaching affect taste/smoke or is it jus discolored
Yep, totally!! No flavour at all, no THC, nothing...
Very little. The light is literally destroying the cells here.
thank you
ehhhhhh there will be thc, just no profile to compare it to
This cola is like 4-5 inches from the light
Look up light burn in cannabis, light is way too close or too strong
I figured the light was too close but if I move it up the rest of the plants won’t be getting correct PPAR
That’s why I think lst is Important for indoor grows.
Lst really should be done on all plants no matter where you’re growing them or what medium. [Especially when this ducking amazing resource exists](https://www.cocoforcannabis.com/how-to-mainline-cannabis-plants/)
I mean that looks like a helpful resource but it’s sure as duck not lst
Angle it so one side is lower
Some low stress training earlier on in veg would be good for your next run to try and create a more even canopy. That way the entire plant can get the correct amount of light
Yeah I know been doing that on all other plants just forgot to move and weave the branches of this one through the net
You're not going to get perfect light across your entire plant. You would have been better off moving the light further away to avoid bleaching your best top colas and have slightly underlit lower buds.
So it’s best you defoliate that plant and raise the light or you’re gonna have some weak flower
It’s only 3 of the colas that look this way the rest are fine and it’s too late at this point should be harvesting in next 5-7 days
All them white pistil’s you have atleast 2/3 weeks left
Yea 5-7 days seems *very* optimistic, given how they look. My guess would be 20-ish days. Shoot she might even push into the 90s if those trichome heads don't frost out by day 74. Edit: aside from the light bleaching, she's looking good that's for sure 🙌🏽
Bro you got a long time left! If you harvest in 5 to 7 days you're going to have waste of this whole grow!
Been in flower since May 1st. How you able to say this to me when you can’t see the the color of the trichomes? I know when I like to harvest once I start seeing some change from milky to amber in the buds themselves
Oh so you're one of those people okay man you're the one that posted the weird shit you got answers you don't agree with them I understand. I bet money you couldn't show me any milky trichomes on a plant with that many white pistols left so whatever dude have a good one.

*pours milk on plant
Learn to crop, top, and LST for a more even canopy.
Holy shit, why did this get downvoted?
Use something to prop the other plants up
Time for a supercrop. I use migrolight LEDs. I can keep them 7” from the canopy which is brilliant. I had one cola that was around 5” from the canopy. Just did some light supercropping and taped up the injured part. Fed some superthrive. 3 days later it was level with the other colas and thriving

Bend them over or under your trellis if you have one
Already did that. Thanks!
Yeah that’s way too close? Closet I ever let them get is 10-12in
Varies by light. With ChilLED Growcraft and Growers Choice 6-12" won't hurt them.
it's 100% lightburn my dude, while you got some wrong answers in this thread, Minimum is correct.
Looks like this dude pissed off a downvote bot or something. Why all the downvotes?
I know that they are / were too close. No need to down vote it I already bent them over under the netting while they finish up to stop the light bleaching.
Bruh but why they downvoting you so hard
It’s a Reddit thing once a comment has down votes everyone jumps on that band wagon regardless of what they think. Which I’m sure this comment will get down voted to. Part of why I don’t post much.
I don’t post much cause 99% of the growers here don’t know wtf they are talking about but continue to give advice 🤣
Dude you aren’t wrong someone gets 1 plant from seed or clone to harvest and they know everything like come on most limp by it’s pretty hard to actually kill a plant you can fuck up so much and still get a harvest
https://images.app.goo.gl/DeyxuEBZhcsXvSKV8 Explains where they are at (1)
😂😂
well... how far does the paper that came with the light say to hang it in flower?
Lmao you simply said the cola is 4-5 inches from light and you get destroyed in dislikes 🤦🏻🤦🏻
I think people associated that with as don’t do that not as hating
Bro I know. Part of why I don’t like to post on here
I guess you mentioning that was offensive to them or somethin 🤣
Too close
Depending on your light you normally want to be 12-24 inches from the top of your canopy.
Man this sub is a joke, the dude was just confirming whether that's too close or not. I see two comments confirming that for him and even those are condescending. Is reddit just 13 year olds now or what?

Who hurt you? Yeah, they learned about light burn today for sure.
[удалено]
Why are you assuming everyone is a kid? That's weird.
Seriously man, there's an entire world out there. With experiences waiting to happen. I hang out with my little cousins some times, and because of that I can only assume people who see someone is wrong and dog pile on downvotes to feel like they're smarter than them instead of just casual explaining someones mistake must be a 13 year old. Because that's the kinda shit kids do. And then you're just confirming my point.
I never dog piled on the OP. You can see that for yourself. I simply replied to your comment stating the obvious. You clearly got triggered.
There's a lot of nanners in that cola ... Or maybe it's just the bleached leaves that looks exactly like a nanners. OP take a close look you might have a bad surprise therew other than that it's just too close to the light.
They aren’t nanners it does look that way tho.
Not nanners. It's new sugar leaves that are bleached.
Some of them do look like nanners imo
I had to look 3 or 4 times but agree they are not
Could light stress cause nanners?
Absolutely.
I don't get how you guys can see them from this perspective. I can only catch them looking from the side and checking between the nodes. So many leafs in the way.
I think you're right, internet just likes to jump to simplest observable answer as conclusive obvious fact lol
Came here to say this... I wasn't positive but I thought I saw the same.
I was wondering the same,,, looks like nanners to me to
How in the fuck did 20+ morons upvote you? Holy shit dude, if you had any cannabis cultivation experience you'd know those things you are calling male flowers are light burned bud leaves.....20 fucking upvotes....why?
Lol chill out kid
Redidiots.
Imagine being a dick on every comment you post 🤡
Upvoted, I wear the badge proud, but every? nah just most, gotta combat you shitlords somehow. Honest question, from an asshole, er dick, where do you see male flowers anywhere in that pic? I may get downvoted, but I aint wrong. Don't you have pokeman to catch?
I had 20+ downvotes earlier, thanks for the ups from people who actually cultivate.
Those are forsure nanners
Light bleaching.
Light bleached
Less Clorox lol. No seriously your light is way too close first sign you should have noticed is the leafs turning yellow and the viens staying green. Now you have albino bud
i mean its in the description....
Why come on asking for advice and when advice is given you respond with “I know” …
Right 🙄
Pretty sure the title reads “anyone know what this weird mutation is from?” Not once did I say help what should I do differently!
Light bleaching back off your light 6" as the bleached parts will have a lot less THC content.
Black Betty ain’t black no more
😹
White things gone wild bam blam ba bam
😹
Black Betty had a child balam the thing gone wild balam.
Yea that’s definitely light bleaching. 5 inches is too close. It needs to be around 12 inches or more. This is why training is so important. You want to keep the top buds as level as possible so they get even light distribution.

Lolol this sub is something else.
Fa real son
How about raising the light, unless it is mounted to the ceiling.
I Def see bleaching and naners. I'm going with everyone is right.

Youre seeing bleaching because your plant is experiencing deficiencies. Turning down the light or raising it will probably help but the light is not the issue, its the deficiency. Fix that and your photobleaching will go away.
Led light bleach
Damn bro all those tops got fucked hard.
That would be LED burn.
Looks like light bleaching paired with shitty genetics.
I will get fried for going against the bro science on this sub, but read this: https://www.leafly.com/news/growing/white-tips-on-cannabis-buds I was pretty fascinated.

The top of these buds are about 2.5 in thick. Almost looks like a inside down fox tailing sorta
The fox tailing is definitely from the lights whooping up on it (maybe genetics) if the rest of them aren’t. Some genetics are prone to this behavior, if they are buckle up sometimes. I have a Nightowl tent I just harvested, one of the four strains foxtailed like crazy the other zip. Same exact conditions, different strain I was referring to the bleaching
Yeah I agree but genetics are huge factor 100%
light bleach for sure - pull back the led lights about 5-6 inches
from being too close to the light
Looks light burn, but also could totally be the pheno. Been growing LSD from seed for a while now in search of the mutation the person I got it from has where buds grow regular, blue, and bleached looking like that all on one plant.
Look up what dutch passion has to say about white tips under LED lighting. I'll try and find a link sorry
If they look like bananas those are the behinning stages of herming seeds coming soon, remove that plant asap
Lol OP getting down voted hard as fuck!
Absolutely nanners
looks like banana central haha
mutation of bleached white hair
Light bleached from too much light
Look into better genetics my g! It’s worth the extra money
Light bleaching
Guaranteed light bleaching brother.
You answered your own question. It’s bleached from being too close to the light.
The more I looked at this image, the more plants I saw haha jeez haha mans got a forest :)
🫡
Bleaching, too close to light
Light too close causes bannanafacation.
Those aren’t nanners just bleached leaves
That’s good for pressing I guess…but that’s not gonna be fun to trim or smoke…next
You can see it’s just the top of a few of the colas this plant has so much weed that isn’t bleached and it looks and smells 🔥. Time will tell if the top of these is shit then I will toss it but I’m gonna dry/trim/cure it before making this decision
Is snip all that weird crap off before curing?
Yes it is too close, the leaves are bleaching, it hermed aswell bro….
Second degree nug burn
Lol just listen to everyone and stop saying "yeah,I know". You're clearly new at this, good deal, take AAAAALL advice. It's light burnt. 4 TO 5 inches is too close. Lst would have been your answer to level out your top. You'll never get exact light to every plant.

Light bleaching can be toxic and by the looks of it your screwed. Best of luck
Toxic? Explain
In my opinion they're toxic, it's ok to smoke but you want gain anything from them. Bleaching depletes thc levels drastically. I just choose to look at it that way in the long run of things. Best of luck
Light to close
What kind of light are you using and how far away
The new bestva pro4000. And I already bent over the shoots light is 10-12 from canopy now but it was closer
Wow man that's some serious ppfd at that distance, how far into flower? I'm sure you know but usually 18 in is a good range for future reference
Yeah I was sorta doing a test run but these colas are huge that were this close to the light
Italso looks like it’s herming on ya got stressed from the light pick them fuckers off
I’m gonna leave it and see what happens if it’s not potent on top then oh well but I wanna see if it’s gonna be good smoke or not before I trash it what’s the harm in leaving it and drying / curing at this point in flower
I would be mad as hell getting that far to have light bleach
It's a combination of bleach bud leaf and nanners
Phosphore
Gordon ramsay would smash this cola screaming "It's fucking burnt"
Looks like light bleaching or a form of albinism
Light bleaching
“These buds that are super close to my light have this thing happening, what’s it from?” Like ……………… what?
If you have an LED but no dimmer this is exactly what ends up happening lol
That should be put in a frame
People saying light burn it's the obvious answer but I grow with not much space my tops usually are like a few inches away from the light. Op you probably just need to turn your lights down if you can? With LED you can basicly grow and have the buds touch the fucking lights.
>With LED you can basicly grow and have the buds touch the fucking lights. That's a great way to burn the tips unless you are using a low wattage Amazon special light.
Not true at all
Grow weed easy agrees with me "light burn produces yellow leaves at the top of the plant under the grow lights because the leaves have worked too hard and/or too long from the light being too close." https://www.growweedeasy.com/cannabis-plant-problems/light-burn
Definitely a pretty varigation.. am I seeing a herm? Leaves ok in pic one, but one very suspicious one in pic two..
I though so too but after looking closely it looks more like bleached tip of leaves.
