Month into Flower no buds o.0 , plz help

[kilshotzz]

running 2x24 Watt 6500k & 1x24 Watt 2700k & 1x19 Watt 2700k globes with this its been in flower for 6 weeks
watering every 3-4 days depending on how wet the soil is

You need more light. Because of the lack of light, they've stretched quite a bit, adding to the problem. Branches or nodes ideally would be spaced closer to each other.

i just added another 19W 2700k globe on the left side about halfway up the plant

also im useing Miracle-Gro MaxFeed Soluble plant food

 

[PatchKid]

are you making sure you have no light leaks? that could cause them to try to stay in veg

 

[kilshotzz]

yeah the room has no light at all other then whats in the box when lights go out , its pitch black
, other then that any suggestions on anything els i can try to improve this or will it just take ages cuz of the lights ?

I've seen timers that turn on at odd times. Or were programmed with multiple times and people don't realize it. Are they on 12/12?

 

[kilshotzz]

yeah , they have been on 12/12 for 6 weeks now , manually done , and ontime everyday

the reason for some of those leaves being cut off was once i started i read alot of posts about people saying that light has to reach all the bud sites and , foolish newb me went alil crazy i think i just hope i didnt do too much damage to it

 

[ficklejester]

Increase lux (more light)!

 

[kilshotzz]

lets say i wanted to replace the lighting ( cause clearly it doesn't seem to be enough) what would you recommend ?

and what sort of cooling would that require ?

At least 150W or so of LEDs will only use 75-100W of power. I'd recommend A51

This model is 180W and only uses 100W of power. You can turn on half the LEDs at a time. $230
