plants small

I am new to growing this was only my second harvest however I have made sure that the ppm's are in good levels, the ph has been between 5.6-6.2, and I have been using GH expert recirculating pogram in DWC hydro setups. My main question is how come my buds aren't filling out to much, when I cut them down they were round 75% amber hairs and looked nice, i know when they dry they loose 75% of their weigh but why are they so tiny....I had 50plants and got a measly 17 ounces I mean WTF! Please any insight....do certain strains not respond well to hydo and should it be sativa or indica or does none of this matter? Please help!!!!

How big were they?

molasses works wonders for fattening buds up, not sure how to implement it to hydro though. i did it in soil and had great results

Man, I don't know what to tell ya. I think we need more details to better assist you. What kinda light, and space were those 50 plants in? I got 10ozs off 5 plants with a 400hps, so something seems wrong. How big were the plants, what was your hydro setup like? I think pics and a few more details will get ya on the right track. Good luck buddy.

4 600watt hps in a 12x10 room all in dwc hydo setups used gh products with ro water.....the strain was pineapple punch..its a sativa dominat strain.....how true is it that you have to pick the buds when the hairs start to turn bc it seemed to me that yes they were turning but I had more and more resin sacks wanting to form so when they dried they are so skimpy I dunno wtf to do......im thinking I picked em to early bc I have them curing and not gettin much smell from em....they are crystaly as fuck and hariy as hel but not a whole lot of bud in the nug if you get my drift
