    Currently on my first grow. I’m about 5 weeks into flower. Buds are looking small. I’m growing in a tent with a 600 w led using ffof soil. Wondering when they will start to fatten up !?!? Please anyone with experience please let me know so information about the stage I’m at

    what strain is the plant? bud usually fattens up in the last few weeks ,,so i wouldnt worry to much plant looks healthy ,,you could cut down a bit on the N in your feeding, that may help the buds fatten up ..mac,

    600W - about 126W actual.. From the looks you have a 3x3 or 2.5x2.5 tent.. I would get a minimum of 240w actual

    what brand led?

    Your plants are healthy. I agree with mactheman that you need to cut back on the nitrogen.
    I looked up some pics of my past grows so I could compare the bud size at 5 weeks with yours - and yours are small - probably caused by not enough light.
    Good luck.

    to be honest it’s a cheap led off amazon. Philizon or something.

    Your Phlizon 600w is only 108w - not enough for even one plant.
    Consider getting some quality lighting if you are going to continue to grow.

    And also I have an autoflowers 60 day lemon that’s doing great. Buds are fat. And she on a 300w light. Will look into another light. Would like a American made brand

    Look into getting HLG Quantum Boards... fairly cheap and very powerful

    HLG Quantum Boards - there are plenty of threads about them.
