I'd say your feeding and plant growing are up to par, plant is growing very nicely, but 3 months veg, ya, it's quite small for that, and all you can do for that, is get real grow lights! Quality cob's, or if heat isn't an issue, even a 400 or 600 watt hps and it will save you alot of veg time and better flower growth for sure! Otherwise, good job for your 2nd grow!!!

Those look like they're going to taste awesome. What nutrients did you end up picking up from Advanced?
I picked up the whole set from advanced it comes with a veg nutrient, another one called Micro and the last one is called bloom. I haven’t used the Advanced nutrients yet only miracle grow I’m still waiting for it to come in the mail.

Thank you and I will be ordering a new grow light or two before I start my next grow, but I did not feed any nutrients during veg so I’m guessing that’s why the growth was slow.

When you're ready to get more lighting, head to the led section. The folks here a very on top of the latest greatest best bang for buck options. There's so much crap and BS out there especially with a lot of manufacturers still trying to sell their outdated inventory with voodoo claims. Beware the thousand watt blurple! lol

I was thinking of ordering two of the Horticulture Lighting Group 320 Watt XL Quantum Board LED Kit V2, I’ve only heard good things about quantum boards.

Great choice. Cant beat em for ease of putting together. The samsung f strips are imo, marginally better just for the dispersion factor but you'll be very happy with that. IIRC the v2's have the lm301c diode and that's currently the best.

Here is my second plant it was only vegged for about 9-10 weeks and has been flowering as long as my other plant (4 weeks tommorow) how do you guys think she’s looking? I’ll also post an update picture on my first plant if you guys would like. These two plants are completely different strains, I just been collecting seeds that I find from bud and grow them. image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

No, don't second guess your feeding..the plant looks great, maybe just a touch bit too much nitrogen for flowering, but looks very healthy!!! The plant doesn't grow bigger due to extra food, they can only grow based on the amount of light they have to photosynthesize, more light=more growth! Your plants are growing the best they can with the amount of light they get, more food would only hurt!!! Stronger lights, and you're on your way!

The plants are 2 days away from 5 weeks I’ve switched my nutrients to advanced nutrients bloom. The buds are forming really nice, Insted of watering every other day I’ve been watering every two days and I feed it nutrients every other water. Check it out. Your thoughts, opinions and tips are all greatly appreciated. Thanks!

to be fair mate you should not waste your money on them lights maybe sell them and get a quantum board if its only 1 or 2 plants you wont need a very expensive 1. or even a 250w hps
I agree with everything you said, except selling the one's he has. I'm one of those dumdass ' that bought, not one but four of the cheaper Chinese led's. Yeah, stupidity runs deep sometimes. I switched to cmh and love them. I would never dream of selling the blurpies though because I don't need that kind of stain on my karma. Maybe donate to someone needy, but even then.......just bad karma.

open them up, re use the drivers and put some efficient diodes

Exactly what I was planning on doing. I don't know why people who buy these defend them so vehemently, I know that if I would have spent the money I paid for mine on hlg or a a quality led, I would be a lot further along in the game. I can admit though that I fucked up, and move on from it. Not defend a inferior product because I was stupid enough to buy it. I wish I would have done more research.

Well, you wouldn't be the first and wont be the last to fall for spurious advertisements, doesn't make you dumb at all. Correcting the error on your part would indicate otherwise.
"I don't know why people who buy these defend them so vehemently" Ego, which you seems to have overcome. Well done good sir.

Not sure what your ventilation and temps are like but a 150 watt hps would definitely be beneficial but not if you can't keep the temps where they are. Aside from that and the nutes you've already purchased you seem to be good. The pics look great, really frosty! Ive seen people do horribly and thats with the expensive and "perfect" setups. I would stay the course with what you have because your doing very well with it, learn as much as you can during the next 5 weeks of flowering and plan your upgrades for your 3rd grow. :bigjoint:

Yeah, actually did grow some decent bud under them. Just not much, seemed to be great for small tight buds, never big though.
