does sound like a mild allergic reaction to something, possibly the nutes or what ever you feed, did you end up using any pest solutions for your earlier bug problem?

nope man I didn't use anything for that I kept hunting it manually tbh I don't know if that bastard is still alive but I haven't seen any damage in a while so it's ok. i donno what it is from but uit definitely something on the leaves, ... I just made a visit to the tent again, wearing gloves and a head cap, however I still managed to touch one leaf with my cheek this time, same reaction. lol nothing happens if I touch with my palms but if then I touch some more sensitive skin parts of myself it's bad. I'm afraid of my plants now yesterday we were loughing with my girl what if I go into some alergic shock and end up in the news "guy killed by his own plants"

lol Musturd

Capsaicin Bud, this weed is hot :hot:

I would have posted a racier after pic above, but I didnt want you to burn youself
Seriously tho I wonder if there is a strain that wont effect you this way?

Only time i have seen this is when my friend touches cut grass (as in lawn) he gets an itchy red reaction to the plant fluid/protein/enzymes, when the grass is dry he gets just as intense a reaction. But its usually made better by a shower/wash. And like you doesn't affect his palms. You may be mildly allergic, with skin contact, to something within the plant, that smoking/vaping/eating wouldn't have the same affect. food for thought anyhow

Tbh having watched that youtube video I posted above, I was sure this is normal that's why I didn't make much of it and I thought posting this would make me look like an idiot noob lol I donno if any strain has this effect on me more than others, if I run into one that doesn't I'll probably stick with that one, for now all 5 strains I tried so far seem the same but this time compared to my previous grow it seems a bit stronger, and longer lasting. Wich makes me think it could be some nutrients because this time I use alot more flowering boosts and micronutrients and enzimes than I did first time.. The cortison cream does have a good/quck effect, in 10 minutes my hands were no longer so swollen and red so it is probably a mild allergic reaction yea. This is fucking ironic lol turns out i'm allergic to weed :joint:

I've been thinking, about why the plants only seem to be affecting me this way during flowering, and about nutes, and then I remembered my hands also gets itchy when I prepare the hydro mix and I steer with my hand in the bucket. Especially after I use the PH down, which is phosphoric acid, and the flowering nutes is also rich in phosphorous.. Maybe that is what I'm allergic about. What would be something else rich in phosphorous so I can test this? I never been allergic to anything before, I need to investigate

 

[Green Penguin]

it could be any number of triggers, i suppose you could place a droplet of already mixed/diluted nutrients on back of hand and see if it flares up.

 

[dildano]

I do that every time because I mix my nutes in buckets, before I put them in the tank and steer them with hand, and my hands get itchy from that too, as I said especially after I fix the ph and after I moved to flowering nutes, wich makes me suspect the phosphorous because all these things are rich in it, and not so much the vegetative nutes, when I didn't get so itchy... the plants also don't affect me like this during vegetative stage, only in flowering.
