Hey so this is my second grow and things haven’t gone as smoothly as I wanted it too. I had a 345w light that started all 5 plants, for about the first week of their life when the power brick failed and the plants experienced almost a full week of darkness at week 2. Not having the money at the time I had no option but to buy a $80 “1500W” light of Amazon I’m pretty sure it’s like Hydrostar or something like that I’d have to check. Anyways the led worked much better than I expected for the rest of veg, all 5 plants looked good in size and health wise before flower. They’re in 7 gal cloth pots with fox farm ocean forest soil. Currently I’m watering a gallon a day between all five plants. For nuts we’re rocking PH perfect Sensi growth A + B using 3ml of both per gallon. When it comes to temps it’s about 70 degrees F when the lights on I have a little heater in there aswell with a RH of 50%. I have a singular hurricane 10inch fan for an intake and another 10 inch for the exhaust. Planning on improving the air circulation system before the next grow but from what I can see it’s doing okay. Week 5 of flower came around and not a lot of weight has been added to any of the plants. A big concern of mine would be that I’m regrowing one of the strains that I grew my first time and the buds are no where near as big this time, even though the plant is in a bigger pot this grow. The tent is a 4x4x7. At the beginning of week 5 I ordered another led light thinking that may give it the actual boost it needed to grow but I can’t see much of a difference. When it comes to looks and smell they appear to be great, perfectly frosty good colors, but size is just lacking but I could be wrong. Any tips??? Ideas or criticism would be greatly appreciated. Strains are (2) cherry pie, (2) chocolopes, (1) green crack all from Seedbank.co

Buds don’t really bulk up until the last. You need a lot more light to avoid disappointment.

I'm actually surprised your buds look that good for being grown under that light, you should pat yourself on the back. You are way underlit, at the same time, like hotrod said, your buds haven't even started to swell yet. in a 4x4, I've seen people do some pretty neat things with 400-500 TRUE watts of high quality LED. Check here before you buy anything so you get the right light/s next time.
Hey I truly appreciate that. After this grow I’ll just use those to start some seedlings and I’ll search through some threads before I buy the next one. I’ll post the results as we move forward
