Flowering question

[bradly26]

I have a couple plants that are starting to flower. I've noticed flower drop with stem. The night's are in the mid to low 60's. Are the temps getting to low? Or is it possibly from lack of pollination? Thanks

I'm not sure how much cooler temps really matter with flower drop. We've already had several nights in the 30's, and my plants are still full of buds and flowers. Maybe mine are just used to MN? The cooler temps are really making things ripen fast though. It's almost like the plants know their time to reproduce is almost over before they freeze solid.

Flower drop probable causes:

1. Day temp too high >95F
2. Night temp too low <65F
3. Too much nitrogen fertilizer
4. Too much water
5. Low light levels (reduces fertility).
6. Very low humidity (reduces fertility)
7. Poor air circulation (air circulation contributes to pollination).
8. Lack of pollinating insects.
9. Size of pot
10. Too much mineral in feedwater.
11. Too much grower attention/anxiety.

Yeah thats me number 11.

Too much attention. I find it really hard to just let them do their thing.
