Hopefully someone else chimes in because I'm not totally sure, but I've heard led lights in flower aren't very good for trich and resin production.
Something about the light waves being too "green." when in flower, they need uv rays like from the sun, or a "red" bulb.

Id recommend not spreading info based on hearsay and not personal experience.
LEDs are more than capable at flowering. What's your relative humidity and temps?

noted.
Ive been talking with her a bit these past months , our plants are close in age, and our 1st grow each.
I didn't want the thread to get buried like the last few.

Hi Steff, doesn't sound like anythings wrong to me.
They will start to harden up
And the buds shouldnt ever feel wet when you touch them, I'd say dry is a good thing!
They dont feel wet until you start to dry them and again when you start curing as the moisture from the centre of the bud will wick to the outside of the bud.

Cannabis does not respond to green spectrum at all, nor does
Any other plant for that matter.

Science lesson for the day: the color we see is the color reflected by the object we are looking at. Plants absorb all spectrum of light except for the color we see. That is why green lights are safe to use in your flower rooms in the dark. Plants can't absorb the light and/or even know that there is one on if it is green.
I took a bud off & quick dried it in oven for 5 main although there's maybe a week to go.It didn't smell much but it got me well stoned...I think my problem during grow was ventilation probs as tents in a cupboard in kitchen & exhaust hot air from the carbon filter under the crack in door during the day & when no one about come the evening I open up the cupboard door so it vents out more freely..I have an oscilating fan in tent & mesh flaps opend at bottom of tent.As there's not much air in the cupboard as its bricked up.So I was advised by 1 the guys that have been giving me pointers & advice it's down to passive intake so I will put a fan blowing in fresh air thru bottom flap as the filter is sucking out the warm air & mainly its hot air coming back in due to the confined space with only venting out thru the bottom of door..The help & pointers from all yous guys is well appreciated as fist time at growing indoors..After I vented the hot air out properly & added fan blowing in my 3rd plant is doing great now..
I have posted a few yet can't find em at times lol am a PC dinosaur.. Ye swim both about the same time as yours
Its great there's that many opinions & advice in this site as I just read online for a month then finally gave it a go as have been contemplating doing it for ages..The LED is doing good as the place I got the tent kit from where really helpful & e.mailed me advice when i asked numerous questions..

just to clarify, I've never used led lights and I've seen some very impressive plants grown with them. What I posted was just something ive heard, and each light has a different spectrum I'm sure.
I know Your plants look ok. I didn't mean to knock something I haven't tried.
I'd like to see a pic too! They must be nearly ready.
Loll its cool swim your not knocking anything buddy.All opinions are great as pick up bits here & there that can help as times goes by..At last I don't need to buy any from dealers save cash & weed that is miles better than any dealers lol
Wet towels added to my tent just zipping it open raises the humidity to any % I'm looking to get& have humidifier if ever gets too high.Where I live temps & humidity aren't any problem in my grow tent

Basic physics. It is not invisible, it is reflected by them. This is no myth, it is science. Green is NOT USED BY PLANTS! They have no way to absorb green light as this is the wave they reflect and the color our eyes see. You could not be more wrong.
Here the first google result on the subject. There are many more.

While im really not sure, i did read somewhere that green light can be seen by plants. But only signals the plant that it is shaded by nature. This is only what i read. For all i know its bullshit. As far as LED grows go,they can trichome the fuck out of a plant. Led's come in virtually every wavelength, why would UVB emitting LED's not help develope trichomes?
.The frazzled 1 after re- potted is this one...Other 2 pics
