why are my buds not very big?? HELP!!

[sbruntman]

I have a week and a half left of just straight watering with no nutes until I cut my plant down and my buds are so small?

could this be because I didn't have enough fresh air entering my grow room. I kept the door closed with just a fan on in the room and a 600watt mars hydro light?

To fatten your buds add a second light & start feeding bloom newts and in two weeks you'll nearly double those skimpy buds

But my flowering stage only has 2 weeks left then down..

I said 2 weeks right?

Btw you need to judge doneness by the trichomes not by the time the breeder tells you

 

[Beachwalker]

From what I can see in those purple pictures it looks good for the amount of wattage you're using my point was double the wattage or add side lighting and start feeding for maximum yield

don't want to get into a discussion on flushing, I don't care who flushes or doesn't, I taper. You're holding your plant back with low light and by withholding nutrients, good luck

I agree the light is more likely to have caused limited bud size. watts = weight. The 2 anomalies with full spectrum LED's: actual power draw is often lower tham than whats stated (amazon states mars 600w has aprox 270w actual power draw) also the real draw back of full spectrum is you dont need the blue end of the spectrum in flowering you need the red end. so your 600w has gone to 270w and that has gone down even lower. follow BW if you do want to bulk her up. seek advice before you buy another light. Im on my third grow and still got shit loads to learn. keep your chin up and best of luck with your girls.

2 week.....No, more like a month. "Flower" does not start when you flip to 12/12, week 1 starts when you can see the first buds forming.

At least 3 more weeks before deciding on a cut date, you still have energy powering pistol growth. (and guessing just a few cloudy tricombs)

Here is one of the buds. That's the thing I'm trying to figure out, when is the best to cut it down. It's Super Silver Haze.

That has a long time to go. My buds looked like that a month ago. I'll cut in 10 days to two weeks.

Valentines Day or the day after if you have a g/f.
Just a rough guess.

Lol that plant has waaaaay more then 2 weeks left. That's the first reason the buds aren't fatter. The plant is probably only half way threw flower.

How many weeks ago do it actually start to show flowers? That's how old it is. But it won't be done at a certain date, I will be done once I has fully grown and matured in the environment you are providing.

That plant looks like maybe week 5 of probably 10+

Big buds = good genetics, optimized nutrients and water quality, optimized lighting spectrum/intensity, optimized temps, optimized humidity, optimized air quality (air exchange needed), sufficient pest and control over undesirable pathogens. Basically optimize everything!

 

[Boatguy]

Looks to be 3 or 4 weeks into flower... You have a ways to go.
Nice looking plant

 

[Bugeye]

PS - grow them to maturity ^ as said above.

So you can look at these:

All great advice. The seed pack maturity date is just a guideline for ideal conditions. Super Silver Haze is strain that is know to take a few extra "weeks" when it is not grown in ideal conditions. Hate to burst your bubble but, you are going to have to spend and extra hour a day staring at the plant for the next month . . .J/K.

First consider what you're trying to accomplish, how many square feet you're using how many plants you wish to grow at a time excetera, then I would go to the lighting forum and ask that same question there, good luck bud!
