Greetings, I am a first time grower with some budah cheese girls flowering. I switched to 12/12 on the 15th of April meaning my girls are in their 6th week of flower, I'm looking for advice because I have seen 6 week old plants that look almost ready for flush/harvest but mine still have tiny buds. I defoliated on the 4th of May but didn't think it would have this impact could it have been that? I am using jungle juice 3part micro grow and bloom they are taking the nuets well so I don't think it is anything to do with them, I also seen a thread that said day one of flower isn't day 1 of 12/12 but day 1 is the day you see the first lot of pistols. Forgive me for sounding like an absolute noob Any advice is welcome Thanks in advance BLOOOOOOODCLARTBOB
You have small buds because you don't have enough light. That 300w led is probably only a 135w light - barely enough for one plant. Good luck and welcome to GC.
They look really nice plants for only a 300w light & your first grow. But definitely get more light! This might help How Many Grow Lights Do Your Plants Need? - GrowAce
Thanks for the responses, Would a 600w led be better? I was considering a hps but wanted to keep the energy costs as low as possible, I was also considering adding 4 cfls 2 either side would this be an alternative to buying a new light Thanks
I’d look into quantum boards. They’re a white light LED that’s blowing HPS out of the water they’re all over this forum
