If someone can reassure me that if i post pictures I wont get raided I will post pictures lol!

Today is the 4th week of flower. I havent seen them fatten up really from the 2nd or 3rd week. Maybe im not patient?

Using MG 12-4-8 for nutes. I only fed once at 3/8 strength 3 days after I flipped to flower and they got a bit burnt so Ive waited to feed them again. Plan on giving them 3/8's dose tomorrow. I dont think the lack of growth is because I havent really fed them because the plant still reads healthy.

It is however possible that they are root bound by now. I cant repot now though. one is 4 feet and the other is 3 feet.

Just looking for some tips to fatten their buds up.

Thanks again RIU!!!

Come on, put them pics up.
We're all here in the library at the local detention facility waiting to see.
Just kidding.
Why can't you repot?
What size container are they in?

Basic rules to follow for photo safety:

Do not include anything uniquely identifying in the pictures. Make the background as blank as possible.

Make sure not to take the pictures with any sort of smartphone that uses GPS positioning and tags the photos.

Don't give us your home address, or name, or take a picture of your license or anything like that. (Should go without saying, but people will surprise you sometimes)

If you follow those rules, you'll be fine.

Are you using a 150w light?

Your plants shouldnt be taller than 2feet. Anything 2ft below the top of the plant is receiving virtually no light from the penetration. A 600w is ok to grow 3-4ft plants.

This could be causing the "skinny" buds.

You're just going to have to ride this one out.

Next time try to keep your plants under 2ft tall using some training if needed.

The trouble with a 150w is that you only have around 12" of good penetration from them.

If you use 2x150 I would recommend trying a SOG style grow if you don't mind about plant numbers.

These plants may fatten up a little but I wouldn't hold out high hopes for buds as big as your arm.

This is what 600w can do for top colas.



You could also look at a SCROG next time around.
