Fellow Growers,
Organic grower here. I have had an ongoing problem with my previous grows and looking for help to fix it in my new grow – today is first day of flower. I'm asking for help on this new grow, hoping to get an answer as to what's wrong.
I am offering a $250 reward to generate interest in my issue and hopefully find someone that can help me solve it.
Problem
For some unknown reason, the trichomes on my plants are NOT getting cloudy and therefore, the final product is not psychoactive. My Opinion: This is not lighting, temperature, or humidity related. It is not related to harvesting too early or too late. It does not seem like a nutrient issue since the plants are mostly deficient free. Deficiencies are handled in a timely manner.
With this last grow, I had a bit of Calcium Def on one plant and some Potassium Def on the other, both of which were immediately addressed and resolved.
I think the key to solving my problem lies either with (1) Someone that has encountered this problem before or (2) Someone with an advanced understanding of the ripening process and can point me in the right direction.
Someone from THCFarmer did recommend I change from MH/HPS to LED Grow Lights. I accepted this suggestion and ran my last grow with a 400 Watt LED Grow Light but did not see a difference in my results.
The only other viable idea I have received but not tried is to use something like TPS Signal.
