Hairs Turning Orange and Brown Early???

[fozzy]

I'm in the middle of week 4 of an 8 week flower of (NL). For the past 2 weeks I've been seeing the hairs turn from white to orange to brown. Its pretty much on all the buds. I also have little brown spots allover my fan leaves. I run my PH at around 6.0 - 6.2. I'm in (FF) Ocean Forest soil. Environment is good 75 degrees with a slightly low humility of 32-45 RH.
First is this normal? (the hairs turning)
Second could this be a nutes problem?
Third I do have some red lights that I am going to tape off from my fans, power supply, ect. Could this be a cause.

Any help would be welcomed! (I will post more pics soon)

Thanks

NL is know as a fast-flower strain. I just finished a NL grow and your pistils look right to me for week 4. The browning tips could be nute burn. Maybe back off your nutrients a bit? Generally looks good though.

I wouldn't worry about the brown hair. They are fine. I would advise to let up on the nutes. The tips on your leaves are turning brown. Just give them PHd water for awhile. You don't want any light leakes during the dark hours. Tape off any light, even red. The only light that is good for dark periods is green.

I would measure tho runoff and maybe raise ph a little bit. The deficiency on the leaves is just starting so make sure you got the right ph. In case it all right then feed a little bit more. Also it would be very good if you could measure your water EC. Or ppm to make sure it's all good with the water you use. And last but not least. The plant is gonna grow new pistils all trough flower and the old ones are gonna die. Sometimes faster when there's a lot of wind. Don't worry about those. You are doing great. Keep it up

Look good and normal to me. Nice job!!👍

Thanks for the input! I lowered the PH about a 2 weeks back to help with the brown spots. (it was 6.7 PH) I use RO Water. It measures 23 PPM.

What week did they finish?

 

[fozzy]

I taped off all my red lights. Just green ones left. Thanks

They are good.

And did it helped? For best results you gotta find the ph that works for your soil and stick to it. For my FF happy frog soil I use 6.5 water and runoff is 6.2. Some acidification is normal in the soil as it consumes water. So when you water you restore the optimum ph and it will decay as oxygen gets absorbed water is evaporated and overal tds concentration rises

They look awesome, fozzy!

Buds look great to me! Very pretty plants, too!

Are you using a Cal-Mag supplement? The spots on the leaves look a little like you might have a touch of a Calcium deficiency (though very minor), which is really common when using very low PPM water (since higher PPM water like tap water usually has plenty of Calcium). Honestly, I'm not sure I'd even start supplementing with Cal-Mag at this point since you're already just a few weeks away from harvest and they look so good. "If it ain't broke don't fix it" and all that

 

[fozzy]

It seems to have helped. I don't figure I will see any of the leaves healing themselves being almost 5 weeks into flower on this 8 week strain. Good info, I can say that I learned something new today! Thanks!

Thanks NebulaHaze!
The only reason "she" (that is only 1 plant) looks so good is because of you and your website! I'm very thankful for all the great knowledge on the website and this forum!
I have used AN's cal/mag probably 4 times in the feeding cycle. I'm using the full line of FF at 1/2 to 3/4 strength.
