I'm doing a bucket grow with feminized auto critical from feminisedseeds in uk and getting a bit panicky
One plant is at about 75 days since popping is about two and half feet high very bushy a real nice dark green in colour lots of bud sites with white pistils (plenty of them) but she is starting to produce deformed leaves like a single point not the usual, this is around the top bud sites. Also she has not got any odour at all. There is no discoloration on any leaves she looks super healthy.

The bud sites dont seem to be growing either,

I am growing in a tent now under 600w HPS I also have a maxibright 250 cfl as well as have plants still in veg in same tent. 18 hours a day root system is really white & healthy (lots of it) no rot I am changing water feed every week being fed Canna aqua products + hygrozyme + rhyzome and has had calmag when needed, been adding boost in the last 2 feeds and have PK13/14 ready to go. in the pic you will notice leaves curling up a bit its not discoloration as the pic was taken with lights on.
It is quite warm/hot as have had some unusually hot weather for England. I cant raise the light as its at top of tent.
I never disturb during sleep time.

Any advice gratefully received, or Is my worry just down to impatience?
Thank you in advance 2013-08-25-147.jpg

That plant seems a little behind for 75 days, but that could just be a pheno thing, nor am I familiar with the expected harvest time for that strain. If it is healthy, and you're giving the bloom nutes, you're probably okay. :peace:
 
This is heat stress and looks a little like your picture.The leaves that grow out of the flower buds are sometimes different than normal leaves, this is normal so don't worry.What is your avg temp in your grow area?
 
Thanks for reply X I thought it was slow! its on bloom so fingers crossed!
 
Thanks for reply Vet, I thought it might be heat stress as leaves are curling up temp is about 28C - 30C and about 50%- 55% humidity. but not a lot I can do as in a tent and got an exhaust fan and a circulating fan in the tent but it needs to be as stealth as poss. Guess I just gotta hope for the best and wait!
 
Just keep the air moving and maybe mist them with spray bottle on occasion and she should be fine.
 
Any chance for another pic? High heat can def slow them down. Like it has been said, if she is healthy wait it out. Try to get that room cool. Sorry I'm in the only country to use fº sooooo...75-80 fºis best. Happy to help if I can. Maybe ill be able to try the critical tonight.
 
Thanks for your reply Roark2.0

I will try & get another pic later, but only have a camera phone and not to good when lights are on and I dont disturb the ladies while they are getting there beauty sleep!

The temps in F are 82 - 84 a bit high but there is nothing I can do to bring them down, due to temps we are getting here.

I look forward to hearing how it smokes
 
Those temps are alright. In my opinion. My room was 86 most of the summer. Tried the critical, but then went to sleep. Not sayin it made me sleepy it was juzt that time. Smoke was good. I better try it again today just to make sure. If trich are clouding up, I would start the flushing. Run it a week and go from there. Still got lots of pistils? What color?
 
Ended up back late & the ladies are sleeping! so will get a pic tomorrow. The buds are no where near yet, they gotta fatten up before the trichs will be clouding up. gonna start the PK in their feed tomorrow. Hope you enjoy the critical.
