It looks like you harvested early from those pictures of the bud. It is what it is and there is nothing you can do about it now. That plant looks like it was overfed. Correct that with your next grow, let them go longer, and you'll get better results.

But that's a damn cute dog. What is it? I have a Chihuahua and a Chiweenie which is a Chihuahua/Dachshund.

Yeah we need more info. As others have said, that light is underpowered for your space. I'm running a MarsHydro TS3000W (the step up from yours) in a 4x4 and it's probably even a bit lower power than ideal for that size tent.

What's your temp and humidity look like throughout the day? I just had a harvest I basically binned and I'm pretty sure it's because my humidity was low and my temps were high. Got a better exhaust fan and set my humidistat higher, and the difference is night and day. Excited to harvest in two or three weeks.

I made a mistake I do have a 3000 Mars hydro just double checked

Overfed because it’s not being driven hard enough from that light? What EC do you feed at? Lots of purple stems and droopy leaves. Do you let them dry back enough and make sure they have oxygenated water. Those just don’t look happy man.

There is lots to learn before you can grow quads, even then, you need the genetics. put in the time to learn brother and even your bottoms will look better then that.

I just started dec 2020 growing so can’t say I know too much . What am I lacking as far as the purple stems , I’m growing 2 fruity pebbles 2 zkittles, wedding cake , gelato , ice cream cake , el jefe , gumbo , all started around the same time . Some of the leafs turn yellow so I fed them cal
Mag . I’m pretty much trying the best to my knowledge. I haven’t been measuring EC since I’m learning as I go and trying to research also

So glad I checked out your pics-
I’ve been thinking about putting a plant in an unused prefab shower we have.
Must be nice to have a water source and drain right there.
Could even take off shower head, add an automated drip and maybe mini fert tank to it and just let it run through a netpotted plant into your pipes. I’ve got a septic sys so would probably use organic feeds for mine.

Your actual question?- I’d say maybe try dropping your pH and giving some good fungal feeds to boost your plants immunity and terpene production which the plants use to ward off many pests and non-beneficial fungi (molds).

Any suggestions on a company . And how low should I bring the PH to . As far as the shower part yea I have a connection line but I fill a bucket Witt water then flush it as I let it drain .

Oh buddy. Go get yourself a ppm pen. this how how you figure out your plants appetite And it will be a function of available light and temp/rh/co2

ph5.8 in coco. Let it drift a little higher in late flower sometimes to make P and K ,ore available.

you got some reading to do brother and this isn’t the best place to learn since you will have a million opinions all tangled up. Find a good coco grower on YouTube like wolverine grown and listen to his vids a few times. GML show is another great source of info.

I appreciate the help . I started with ocean farm but the batch I’m using now is bush doctor coco coir soil . I’ve been watching different videos and it becomes mind boggling but I want to grow great taste and potent buds and I know I’m new and have a long road to go but the basics I thought I knew aren’t producing good quality nor quantity. I have a ec pen and ph pen I just want to know more about any instruments I use . In your a opinion how’s the Mars hydro 3000

Just go with straight coco,so easy.Get a tray with a drain so runoff is easily dealt with.All the rest is so simple.

Funny, I meant to mention that I make my own fungal heavy nutes, but I also grow in soil in fabric pots outside, after getting them going under lights in a greenhouse.
Fungi can grow in a wide range of pH, but begin to thrive (where bacteria doesn’t) in a lower pH between 5 and 6.
For true health of your soil and plant there should be enough bacteria (alkalinitivores) to keep the young-fungals from taking over.

Well those need to be elevated above a tray,mix nutes to 1 ec 5.8 ph feed to runoff every day! never straight water dont let dry out.easy.everyday you feed is the key they'll out grow all your other plants by next week.

First thing I think of is you are using a 450 watt light in a 5x5. That's only 18 watts per square foot. I don't feel that's enough light.

EDIT: your pic shows 2 lights?

You definitely harvested too early. I don't have the experience to tell it's overfed, but I can definitely tell it was harvested probably 3-4 weeks too early.

Stop getting grow information from youtube.

That a damn nice dog. The Basenji is very loyal and protective. It's on my list of dogs I'd have as a pet.

Yea I started to feel like YouTube can’t really help and as far as the dog yea they cool don’t bark just loyal dogs
