Flowering stunted

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?
Why would that be for another thread? You stated that you think your buds are small and then that you think you had an issue with your feed. What were you feeding? Did you dose heavily with bloom additives? Too much P/K can stunt bud development. A balanced feed from start to finish will give the best results. Heavy dosing of P/K can be counterproductive and actually reduce the final yield.

I'm can't tell you as I've only owned the ts1000, but I was unimpressed with my LED flowers so I bought a HID system

for its size my ts1000 makes an excellent light for veg clones as its super cheap to run 24,-7
What size grow tent are you using the TS 1000 for?

I’m using General Hydroponics Flora Series nutes. But having issue with mixing the nutes for the right PPM. PH is correct, just PPM is 480 in nutes and drip off after watering is 600 PPM. As I read in flowering, plants require 1000 PPM.

there is no gold standard for ppm feed. some like more some like less. read your leaves

you can stress test a pheno you like, take a clone and keep on a journal turn up the ppm ever few weeks incremental until your tips start to burn slightly, this will give you the phenos threshold in your personal environment, everyone's different just start experimenting its the best way to learn

My plants has been having burns on leaves since the start of stunt.
But ppm was even lower then. At first I thought it was nute burn as the tips were going upwards.
In a different thread, people are telling me it’s a deficiency.

I can't tell you anything without photos and your fertigation schedule, your medium, ph in, ect

The amount of nutrients a plant needs is dependent on a variety of factors. There is no set PPM amount. Some plants require more and some require less. Giving 1000 PPM's to a landrace sativa that has minimal nutrient requirements will cause nutrient burn. Some hybrids can take PPM's higher than 1000 PPM's without issue and still want more.

The buds on that plant do look small. The leaf tips on your plant show signs of overfeeding at some point in the life of the plant. Overfeeding stresses the plant. Stress can lead to diminished yields. There isn't anything you can do at this stage of that plants life to change anything that will have any significant effect on your final yield. All you can do is finish that plant and focus on making your next grow better. Look back on what you did and try to correct any mistakes you might have made next time. You're going to get what you get. Dry it. Smoke it. Enjoy it. Focus on making your next grow better and it will be.

Good luck.

Thanks man, I’m planning on getting a new proper setup with a new grow tent and better lights.

that looks burnt to me, do you know what week this started? is that the GH trio? seems like you had some salt build up, are you running hempy with a rez or in fabric pots? are the pots raised out of the run off?

I think it started early of 3 weeks ago.
Yes it’s the GH trio.
I’m growin a normal 6 gallon plastic pot.
The pot is raised and the water drips off below without touching the base of pot. Let me show you.
