Should I Harvest?

[Cheeseheadhanna]

hey guys. I'm in week 6 of flower with my first plant. Its a Gelato strain. I have an indoor grow tent with a 600 w purple light and I'm using soil as my medium. I haven't seen much change in my buds over the last week and I'm starting to wonder if I should just go ahead and harvest.

Since it's my first plant, its definitely been a learning experience and there have been quite a few stressor for my plant along the way. Maybe I just over stressed it? Is there still a chance I could wait and get a bigger yield?

Wait 4 weeks then ask again

What is a purple light? Do mean a uv light!?

 

[MajorCoco]

They look hella ugly by the way. You've definitely been doing something wrong if that's 600 Watts worth!

They are far from mature mate, you’ve got another month still if you harvest now it’s going to be useless.

Also; if you are using one of those budget LED’s that say “600w” on them; those are not actually producing 600watts of light energy.

Needs more light and more time.

I would probably cut my losses and start again, but you can grow em out some more if you want of course....make sure you've worked out what went wrong before you start your next grow though...

No not UV its LED. But my guess i a it isn't strong enough.

It looked nice until it was sprayed with bug spray in a tragic accident. I had to remove a lot of dead foliage and a few of the remaining leaves still took some damage but it looks a lot better than it did a few weeks ago when that happened. Like I said, I'm new and there has been a lot of stress on both the plant and myself lol.

Agree with PadawanWarrior they are starving for light. Did you get the light on Amazon?

Worse...ebay. i had a feeling it wasn't really 600w but I thought maybe for one plant it would be OK. Plus I don't really have the budget for anything nicer.

Give it some time.,..We have all dealt with bugs and molds and it's gets the best of growers, so hang in there! The light will limit your yield but you can still learn and get better than they are now...Plus look around, there's LOADS of used grow equipment. I swear we should have a classified section here!
