Most likely cause of mineral lockout is from an out of range pH in the media. Your bottled GH nutrients have the essential minerals required for healthy growth until the pH goes out of range and they become insoluble and unavailable to the roots.

Winter Frost is a finisher that induces the production of ethylene of which prevents chlorophyll production causing flowers to ripen. The amino acid ACC and Ethephon are direct precursors for ethylene production. You can’t bottle ethylene gas so one has to assume those ingredients are in Winter Frost. These ingedients are not in the other products you mentioned like Terpinator. Proprietary formulas are nothing new and you’re never going to get them to tell you their formula. It’s business. It takes someone like me to tell you what’s possibly in a product based on it’s claims. You’re welcome. 🤓

Easy fix to raise temperature is to raise the light a bit and increase intensity. It’s ok to let the temp get up to 84-86F in veg the last hour or two before lights off to help maintain a higher temperature after lights off for those few hours.

Why do you think it will get PM? PM is an environmental issue. Are you not able to control the environment? With a proper environment and air circulation there is no reason to believe you’ll have any micro-climates around a plant. Defoliate the large fan leaves if you want more light and air flow through the interior of the plant.

Another world… another time…

It’s the absolute last option I’d choose. Do what ya gotta do, but that’s not winning. Taking your genetics to death’s door step and fucking with their hormonal balance is not how you keep them viable long term. You’re just a terrible parent for not making a backup when growing from seed.

Pollinated pistils will produce seeds and unpollinated pistils become false seeds pods when mature. They look similar in size when swollen but you can seeds as they mature and stigma break off. The entire reproductive organ is called a pistil. The ‘hairs’ are called stigma that collect pollen and the inner seed bracts outer leaves are called calyx. Mature bud looks seeded to a new grower.

Ideally you want the light fixture as close as possible without being too intense to limit stretch. Cold temps will slow overall growth and increase stretch during the day with colder temps at night. Warmer nights and cooler days can limit stretch. I’d personally want the environment warm for faster overall growth. Having the light a bit higher than I’d want is less of a compromise to me compared to letting the environment slow growth.

PM is an environmental issue. Plant’s don’t get PM based on structure.

Here’s Banner’s interview with DJ Short.

Disease does change DNA/RNA and does cause genetic drift. That’s not some environmental phenotypic expression.
-
In years past bro science called the changing of a plant’s morphology (phenotypic expression) as genetic drift. A plant’s genetic potential is diminished when the plant’s phenotypic expressions change for the worse. There are many reasons to stress your genetics over time to the point where they’ve lost vigor. Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should. I teach proper techniques for long term viability based on actual science. A plant doesn’t have a phenotype. It has many it can express based on environmental conditions and it’s genetic code.

Plenty of experienced growers do noob shit. I’m not impressed. DJ Short is way more famous for Blueberry btw.

Trichomes form on calyx (bud). Calyx go from a tiny oval shape to a large swollen false seed pod. Those calyx during ripening can swell to a plump round shape full of trichomes. Cut the plant when the calyx are barely visible and they’ll shrink to nothing after harvest and your bud will be all stigma and no bud. The stigma (hairs) that collect pollen should remain viable until the calyx start to swell. If the stigma turn brown before the calyx swells, the bud swelling will be stunted and stall. I see a bunch of stigma turned already with no swollen calyx. This can happen when you hurt or stall a plant. You really hurt this one by not watering it. Now what’s done is done.

Bad practices should never be promoted. That ‘breeder’ is not a serious grower. Just because you make and sell seeds doesn’t mean you know shit.
