Flowering stunted

[misterbrandon]

Help!

9th week of flowering.
Amnesia Haze, 6 gallon in coco.
Buds all popcorn, some even still has white pistills. Smaller than popcorn.

Trichomes are almost all cloudy. A few are still clear.
Planning to do flush from 10th week.

Is it normal to still be so tiny? I feel the past 2 weeks, buds have not grown much.

Beautiful setup, plant looks well trained too man , awesome! What kinda light you using? Almost time to harvest woohooo!
Im having similar problems and expectations as well over here... Im wondering if i shoulda stopped the bud production from botton to 2/3 up . Its my first and i thought the buds on top woulda been bigger now that im on week 8.5 flower. Guess i shoulda trimmed the little popcorn nugs off down below from the beginning? Ya live and ya learn. Popcorn nug land pic from week 5 or 6 flower

Thanks man, it’s a old wardrobe I DIY to a grow box. Yeah LST since veg brother.
I’m using the Hipargero 800w.

Brother your buds look fat and noice.
Not really sure, I did that and now I’m facing tiny buds.

whats your light source

I’m using the Hipargero 800w about 36cm away from plants.

Both poster's plants look great. Looks like you have everything dialed in which means only one thing.
Lack of light.
Yes, you can grow very good weed with little wattage, but if you want large hauls, you need more light.

I average 8-16+ oz per plant depending on the strain with 6-8 plants in a 4'x8' with very minimal training/trimming.
Granted, the environment and feed is dialed in, but the main reason the plants produce so well is because they are under 71.25 watts per sq. ft of HID lighting.

Light = #1 reason for a small harvest.

do you know what the actual draw is?

this is what I'm working towards. smoke knows his shit

You need more light for bigger yield. 240w from the socket is not enough light.

240w

I think I might have an issue with my feed too in terms of PPM but that’s a issue for another thread.

Im using the Hipargero 800w which many reviewers said it’s great if I’m growing in a 2x1 grow space.

How do you calculate the wattage per sqft? What’s required for a 3x3? Would a Mars Hydro TS1000 be adequate?

do you know what the actual draw is?

How do I find out the actual draw?

 

[kovidkough]

yes upgraded light would serve you well

many good companys will list actual draw, cheap blurples tend to be what they claim to replace which for our light hungry plants is usually rubbish

[kovidkough]

its 150w and covers a 2x2 so no

I’m guessing it’s 240 watts in a 2x1 grow space.

 

[kovidkough]

that's a 2×1 feet or meters? 2x1 is a small space and so yes the ts1000 would work

 

[kovidkough]

the mars has a better spectrum for flower for less wattage so that's a plus

watts per square ft is only a good measure for HID, LED is all about quality of light. once you have a good spectrum you can start putting some power behind it
