  2. Just 10 more weeks of flower to go. The more Sativa she is the more sparse her buds will be. They never really bulk up and are always low weight plants.

    They make up for it by scrambling your brain with a power mixer.

  11. Not enough light.

    Think giant burning ball in the sky that produces life on this planet as we know it.

    That’s what we’re trying to replicate indoors.

    Big light, big buds. It’ll pay for itself in one harvest if you have everything dialed in

  12. I agree you need more light. Move your lights or plants closer till you get more. It's also super early to expect to see any real size. Throw $90 at a mars or spider '600' panel and you'll be glad you did.

  13. Thanks for advice....putting it outside back in green house is probably out of the question huh.....i live on the east cost and its 15 to17 hours of light????

  14. The watts you are stating for your lights are "equivalents" which essentially are bullshit numbers that mean nothing. I bet your true wattage is around 35 watts total for all the lights. Look very closely at the fine print on the lights, the bulbs will say like 6.2w. You dont have nearly enough light. Not even close. Always look for true wattage. Any decent LED grow light is going to run you right around a dollar to dollar fifty per watt.

    This is what a 400w led grow light looks like

  15. So essentially you're saying I'm wasting my time using these types of bulbs cuz I mean I've spent over 400 on seeds and want to make sure that I'm getting the most out of them

  16. Yes. I wouldnt even bother putting bag seed under those lights let alone good genetics that you paid good money for. There are endless forums on lights, get readin'. Doesnt hurt to watch some youtube videos too.

  18. It's never a waste of time as long as you are learning. You're plants are looking good so far, but you will see a huge difference increasing the light. It's impossible to explain till you see the difference. You gotta trust us ;)

    You could also just hook up a power strip and throw some cheap leds into 'Y' splitters if budget is an issue.

    You can always reveg after this grow to save the genetics if you didn't pull some clones.

    *sorry I dunno about the greenhouse question. I think @BrassNwood would know better then me about outdoors stuffs. :)
