Well, I currently have two plants growing. They're in a 4x2 tent with a Budget LED (Series 2+).
The first is an ILGM Auto Northern Lights. It's short, compact, and nothing but bud. It's sitting at 64 days and the trichomes are still clear, so probably a few weeks to go.
The second, and the reason for this post, is a Seed Stockers Auto White Widow. It's sitting at 59 days and is flowering, but just beginning to fatten up the buds. This plant is enormous compared to the Northern Lights. Big, bushy, and despite my best efforts, continually trying to touch the lights. I've had to supercrop quite a few colas in order to keep her at 10-12" away from the light. Anyways, today when I was doing my morning check of the plants, I noticed a few of the buds had some all white tops. I broke out my loupe and looked closely and there is zero indication of mold. Rather it looks as if there are so many trichomes that you can't see any of the green. Still not sure what was going on, I googled it and found the following article.

The pics in the article match what I'm beginning to see on my plants. Needless to say, I'm stoked and definitely looking forward to these buds maturing.
Anybody else ever see anything like this?
