Ph = 6.4
Daytime Temp = 76, Nighttime Temp = 65
9 CFLs total:
6 - 2700k, 2 - 3500k, 1 - 6500k total of 288watts
NO LIGHT LEAKS it gets 12 hours pitch black every night.
Plant is 3ft, 4 inches tall, has 2 small colas and 2 larger ones.
Its in an organic potting soil mix with about 30% vermaculite by volume (roughly)
It gets watered every 2-3 days, and I give nutes (low dose miracle grow) every 2 weeks. Started giving blackstrap molasses (unsulfured) 1 week ago.
This plant grew fast and strong its whole life, never gave me any reason to consider it inferior in anyway. That is untill I started flowering, and noticed that within the last month, the buds haven't actually gotten bigger at all. They HAVE spread a lot, but the buds themself simply will not get big.
Now some things I've considered. Maybe I don't have enough light. But, if that was the problem, the buds that have been 2 inches right by the light the whole time ALSO have not grown at all. And I'm noticing buds closer to the bottom where theres nearly no light at all, and they are basically the same size. The ones on the very top aren't "big", they might have more flowers in general up there, but all the flowers are tiny.
It has 3 gallons of dirt, so I simply can't figure out whats going on here.
The buds started at week 2 of flowering, by week 3 they were literally like 75% the size they are now (when I compared older pics). So in 4 1/2 weeks, the buds have barely grown at all. NOT EVEN CLOSE to how plants on here are growing, and it makes no sense.
The last thing I was thinking was maybe this particular strain does best outside, and needs a ton of light, but still, shouldn't the buds at least be moderately sized by now? They are as small as I could have possibly imagined them being.
Here as some pics, any ideas on what I should do? Should I just go crazy and throw like 3 - 68 watters in there? I'll do w/e I need but because the buds by the light are so small, I wasn't thinking it was really a light issue to beging. Its my first grow, 13 1/2 weeks total now, and I really need some expert advice here. I'll do w/e I need to jump my yield up cause this is really just becoming a waste of time at this point. I also notice crystals on a lot of plants here and theres not a single one on the entire plant so idk.
Thanks!
