SweetSue's Perpetual 2.0 - The Transition To Doc Bud's HBB Kit
I found myself wondering if all the tops would do this if I let her go longer.
Somehow, I don't think so. They don't look like they're even thinking about it. They look done.
The other tops would probably not turn white.
I believe these are snowcaps, a response to the light intensity close to the lights, especially common with LED lights.
The rumor is that snowcaps are lower in THC - but this might just be stoner mythology. I have no personal experience..

I don't think that's the case here Rad. This may be a genetic trait. I panicked with the first run of the strain - remember that?
- and MagicJim pointed out to me that some strains develop these caps. They're a different type of flower growth. If you look at the pictures you'll notice some of the snow caps in the back are further down in the plant and below the level of some that never turned. I measured, and some of the lower snow caps are over 25" from the light. The BudMaster says start on the floor and let them grow to the light. 
If this is what you suggest, and if reduced THC is a concern, it won't matter in this grow, because it's the CBD in this plant that we're most excited about, and it only takes a
ratio to do what I'm hoping for. This strain can come in at 1:2 THC:CBD, and grown in Doc's soil I'm certain I'm at least getting 1:1.

Good info...always good to hear another perspective.

Actually back when it happened on one of your earlier grows, I thought it was caused by the light. Lights which have the 660 nm red and no 680 nm red is reported to cause hash tips. If that condition doesn't exist for the light, then it's likely to be bleaching. 
That's what I was wondering about them white tips.. Now there is a strain called let me think,,, stand back,,, Ed Rosenthal Super Bud,,, she has a pheno that explodes with a thick''' pure white''' hairs on it.. But it isn't just the tip. Kind of looks like a lighting bleach out to me,, but I'm not sure how close your light is and what light your using so... Hey my little 2 cents,, I don't think Sue's done it, but if you spray heavy with products like neem and other oils it will do the same.. Well I was just doing a drive by.... Buds sure look nice,,, Keepem Green
Ya know... common sense (back away everyone.... common sense often explodes in my face) would tell me that the snow caps are full of trichomes and thus full of goodness.
I'm gonna stick with that idea until someone proves it differently.
What's that old saying.... Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.

Boy, am I glad you have a better memory about these things than I do.
I'd forgotten about the light connection. That was back right after Dale died, so I shouldn't be surprised that it slipped out of the gray matter. This plant is sitting under the Budmaster COB x 6 I won in the first MOTY contest. I don't know where to find the information on the lights used. Anyone know where we can locate that info? I realize I'm sending this panel to Tead when I'm done, but now I'm curious.Edit: Reading over this again got me excited about the oil production she's putting out.
Up close and personal it does look like a crystalline coating. Now I completely understand the "hash tips" name. Thank you again Jim. It's surprising sometimes how much I missed lost in grief.

A temporary reprieve
Good morning everyone
I was all set up to do a harvest this morning when I realized today was the 19th. Why not wait one more day and do a 4/20 harvest? This is too good an opportunity to pass up, so I rotated her and did a mite check before zipping her up and backing away for one more day. Hash Hound has the final frame done and may be out later today. It's so cool, he and I were raised in the same area and graduated from the same high school, just a couple years apart.
Some final shots of her final day. CBD Critical Cure 2 (Day 128, flip + 53)
Lights came on.
Buckets are in place, lemon juice standing by. Tomorrow morning she'll be hanging.
Another day filled with joyful opportunity to expand the love in the universe, just by taking the time to share that joy I know you feel bubbling up right about "NOW!" Have fun with it. Life is meant to feel good, to be fun. I have faith in your ability to make your day sparkle as only you can.
See you around the yards.

A question for the galley: If this hash tip production is caused by the lights, why don't all of the plants growing under them do this? To date CBD Critical Cure is the only one that has.
Perhaps you're just getting better as the days pass. Perhaps it's the new HB soil. Perhaps you held your pinky finger the right way when watering.

The Clones March On
CBD Critical Cure 2.1.1 After 17 days in the bag she's more than ready to be in dirt. Hash Hound contributed the pot, saving me the need to get more one-gallon fabrics. The plan was only two in one-gallons at a time. Guess what? Life had other plans.
A 1/4 Trans drench to settle everything and add some hydration for the hungry roots that'll be popping out.
This is the look of a plant unhappy with having her taproot in water.
Nice profile and lots of healthy new growth already.
She'll sit here until a space opens to the side tomorrow.
I'm getting comfortable with the strain and I have absolute confidence in the cloning method. Now, get this level of comfort with Carnival and I'll be blissfully happy. I run the Carnival thread and watch the other growers in breathless wonder. I'm improving as I go. Who knows? Maybe there's a POTM out there ahead of me.

Hash Hound did indeed stop this morning and we assembled the final kit frame.
I love the way the hanging bolts keep the lights up off the surface.
What a great neighbor. Thank you again Hash Hound.
I'll be hanging it in the tent after it's been scrubbed down. We got to talking about it and I can supplement them with some cooler CFLs to get the plants more spectrum coverage for the duration of their veg stage. I hesitate to change lights on them. They love these COBs.

Do I remember it happening to a carnival? I might do but my memory can get a little hazy from time to time.

Hahaha! Hash Hound decided to do the same thing. Lol! Makes me wonder how many harvests may be scheduled for tomorrow.
forgot my manners. I was just talking to you over at the study hall. 
LitLeprechaun, and may I say, the user name brought a chuckle. Make yourself comfy and join in the conversation. Welcome to the

Sue I am saving the WW for tomorrow
But I did one plant today, I'm sure it's already 420 somewhere on the planet.
While I was trimming her up I realized I didn't smoke yet today, but was wondering why I felt like I was high.
Then I remember I ate 1/2 of your brownie on the way home.
