Is this okay, will my buds still be fat?

Did i mess up by not taking off the buds off the bottom shoots? Are these going to stay this small by the end of harvest? Its been in 6 weeks of 12.12

Kinda looks Sativa to me. Stretchy and sparce. Doesn't look very healthy. The light doesn't help either. I would say that's well less than stellar for 6 weeks flower. It's hard to see tho. At this point. I don't know. Should you stick with it? If it's really Sativa even the larf should be decent. Maybe. It will roll and smoke ok. Even if it's larf. Hard to see in those pics tho. Hmm. Might have some good nugs too. Really need better light for the pic. Also your light looks too Blurple. Overwhelmingly I question the spectrums. I don't know man. Good luck. And peace and love.

How much LED lighting do you have? How far have you had it from the plants? and, please post some pics w/o LED just regular lighting for better responses.
I have little 2 block looking leds says 300w output i just got them off ebay. They are 12-13 in off from the tip of the plants. Let me see if i can move it to my other room with better lighting will get back with some pics soon

The LED light is killin' me. The lights might be fine, though, because the nugs at the bottom look about as good as the ones at the top. Maybe light isn't the issue? I know the post asked about trimming. In this case I'd suggest you don't chop the bottom nugs because your canopy is so sparse that the bottom nugs are still getting light. Normally you cut them off early into 12-12 assuming they will get no light but use up nutes and decrease airflow, but in this case you don't have to worry about that.
That said they don't look very big... would you be open to going over your grow technique for this run?

Ok, I am really leaning towards lack of light here. Most (if not all) LED pro's swear by DIY. Not that LED won't work great but the general consensus is the commercial products are over-hyped and over-sold Judging from the stretch and distance between nodes...too little light, too far from the canopy.

If there is some reason why HID lighting is not an option for you...I would consult the members in the LED forum for recommendations. You could also supplement the LED with T5s and cfls. Either way you need more light for a better 'footprint' and coverage.

I would also suggest reading and learning training methods such as LST and Scrog.

Good Luck and Great Growz

He has multuple issues,light might be a factor.But honestly you are fine,you have 6 more weeks to go.You are on target maybe slightly behind.Focus on other factors of your environment you can control.
