8th week flowering RIDICULOUS BUDS!!!

[sittinherebored]

I think you should let us know where you bought the seeds, just to make sure they are from a reputile seed bank...

My looked like that in the first 2 weeks of flowering. I am now on 4 weeks and y buds look siccmade...

its not the strain, its the way they are grown. i know strain makes a difference but light deprivation is the cause of those tiny buds. look how skinny the stems are and how lanky they plants are. no offense, just observation

 

[focus on this 1]

if you turn the light off, you cant turn it right back on, you may have to wait about 15 min or it wont spark right. when the light first comes on it should be dim, but after a couple mins it should get progressively brighter. If it doesnt seem bright enough, you may want to try a new bulb.

I am using a 430 watt bulb on a 400watt balast, the guy at the shop told me it was ok , what do u guys think? btw its a buld that does growing and flowring

 

[holdthatshitin]

man im useing 42 watt cfls and my plants are on week 5. my buds are 5 times the size of yours. you need to call whoever sold you that light and tell the to eat shit.

Not true, I know several people who have bought from cannabisseeds.com and all there plants look like this, notthing but popcorn size nugs..... Search for your self. Also, I did not say the straim, I wanted to know he got them from.... Also, a 400 watt hps will not give you shitty results like this...

Is the bulb a agrosun, because this is the only 430 watt bulb that will run off a 400 watt ballst. Hortilux sells a 430, but made only for 430 watt ballasts...

thats what i was trying to say earlier. my 400hps is in my room and its brighter than hell and thats a non enclosed space for the light and its way brighter than that closet. that closet should be wayyyyy brighter than that with a 400

You could try using some unsulphered molasses along with your bloom nutes every other watering, it truly helps fatten buds up at least 10% to 20% but as others have said you need a stronger light

 

[fat sam]

well it apears that they are not loving something, drop the light down

IMO u need hormones or some wieght additive like silica.....
OR shit you can get from hydro shop.....
Cell dividers
Some additves help the plants grow quicker by making their cells divide quicker.
Organic additives such as monsta bud, psychobud and megabud cause plants to grow faster in this way
Monstabud and Psychobud are the same except Psychobud is more concentrated.
Both are available in an additive to nutrient in separate formulas for grow, flower and harvest/final stages.
Megabud is used only in the fist and third week of flowering and is very high performance.
Bio Earth Sea Acids are a unique product that can be used alongside the other products for very fast plant metabolism, meaning faster growth and flowering
Weight Adders
Silica...is always my first !
Potassium is stored in the flower/fruit during the flowering process.
To add weight, products like weight plus use potassium to add weight
Weight plus 1ltr is $20 and is added at 1ml per liter
Other potassium products are Potash plus and Canna PK1314 but are not as pH stable as weight plus which is fully balanced and should not affect your pH
& PGR`s
ROCK JUICE -CHLORMEQUAT CHLORIDE
Acetyl Thiozolidine 4 Carboxylic Acid

Amino Acids – Protein Hyderolysate
ETC ETC ETC​

Also what are you feeding (sry if missed that) at what PPM, any additives other than reg nutes ?? Whats your range on ph... Jack likes 5.5-5.6
Looks to me as if there is alot of nitrogen (steam is long skinny or inter-node length)
and NOT ENOUGH phos and pottasium ...not saying deficency but plants require alot to fill out and reach max yield... During flower MJ`s: Nitrogen and phosphorus uptake increase up to 250%, and potassium requirements increase 400%.
The uptake of calcium and magnesium increases 150%.
It will only show deficency as you go below min requirment to live (not grow)

AND IT COULD JUST GENE`S....... LOL & more light the better.....but you got her that far and big (though stretched) so I dont see why you dont have bigger buds ? except the above !
hope that helped!?

 

[easygreen]

make sure it is completely dark in the dark period
they look small because light leaks

 

[VaporBros]

i dunno if anyone said it but, that looks like a Sativa, aren't those supposed to flower for a little longer than Indicas?

 

[northeastern lights]

I tried all the power outlets in the room same result, when I turn off the light it takes about 5 min for the light to go on...

If you continually turn you light on and off this is known as a HOT start. very bad for the bulb and ballasts. Though probably not the reason for your dismay. You could use a multi meter to test to see whats actually being put out. You could always just buy a bulb from home depot for $25. I now use a 600 electronic ballast. When i ran 2 400 watters i used regular GE bulbs from home depot for years. changed them out every year.
Also you could purchase a light meter to see what the light is put out for lumes.

 

[9inch bigbud]

you sure you got no light leek? them buds look like they are around 2 weeks old 3 max. what you growing in soil hydro? if the temps are cold day/nite that can also delay flowering, also to much N will slow it down, but yet again if its sativa they can take 12+ weeks to finish and the light should be 10h light 14h dark to help it speed up the finishing time.

very nice dude keep us posted those nugs are gunna get BIGGER!

I think he ment if u just keep turning it on and off at short intervals.. not 12 hours.. lol

 

[mygirls]

ya i was thinking that also. but you never now what some will say.. even me sometime. LOL

 

[EyezofSnake]

LOL @ 8weeks flowering. wow

light leak much?

 

[relativeood]

Seal your room from light leaks, give them the PROPER nutes, and give them 4 more weeks.
