White widow flower issues

[Mattsmith1871]

Im running a flood and drain system, using full line of dutch pro nutes. Ppm 950 ph6.0
Temps 25°c lights on 20°off humidity 52%
70cmx70cmx160cm tent
600w mars hydro LED light

I flipped 12/12 exactly 7 weeks ago, they're all exactly the same age and strain, white widow.
I did have a fan a bit too close around week 4 but ive re positioned it and shouldn't have been a problem anymore. All the pistols have turned brown on the one at the back and the others are following suit.
Im just a bit concerned with the bud size as they look nothing as the pics im seeing elsewhere.
Ive heard that its a 10 week flower strain so i know there's still time, will they get any bigger? (Especially the one at the back)?

PS. They were supposed to be autos but they wasn't which was odd, they did show traits in veg (i vegged them for 8 weeks, this is my first run)

Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance

Too long, 5 weeks max, saves time & energy.
Yes, you have around 2 weeks until finish so they will get larger.
Plants look good/nice job

 

[go go kid]

who were the seeds from?
dont forget that, thats only a ts600. its a 100watt light, so your not going to get super buds.
the tall ones look like theyve been getting too hot, theyve fox tailed a bit and the lower ones will fill out in the last two weeks or three

Its my first run so i know for next time thanks!

Good to know about the ts600, gonna add some extra lighting in there next time. So you think there's a about 2-3 weeks left before harvest? I was panicking a bit as the buds aren't what I'd like them to be....

 

[Mattsmith1871]

As for the brown pistols, normal or is it something to do with the foxtailing?
Every thing else looks fine smells dank!

Anyone have any idea of what kind of yield to expect ? I know its hard to tell with the buds still having some weight to put on.

Multiply your grow space and divide that by the lights wattage to get your watts per sqft.
4x4=16. 720÷16=45 watts a sqft. You'd want 30watts a sqft minimum from a high end led. I personally don't care for the ts models the fc series are looking like they may be upping their quality.

Get a jeweler's loop or microscope and look at the trichomes. Not the ones on the sugar leaves those will amber faster check the calyx. That'll let you know when it's time to harvest.

Seed bank was outlet seeds

As pistols mature they turn brown/orange/red or whatever depending on genetics and other factors. If they turn dark too early, it may from touching them, intense lights, over nuting etc.

Usually foxtailing will bring new white pistols near the end of flower, which can confuse you as when to harvest. Ignore newer growth if you're already late in the game and focus on the lower calyxs.

Okay thanks, i know its about a 10 week strain and the trichomes aren't amber yet.
The taller plant just seems a bit mature compared to the bud sizes, however i am noticing swelling is still happening. Im just a bit worried about chopping to early and getting a low yield.

"Another couple weeks" lol. Getting close, get a scope and start checking next week.

 

[Mattsmith1871]

As for the pistols the plants been doing this since about week 2 of flower, does the buds keep swelling even with brown pistols? If you look at the other 2 plants they're also doing the same, but i think there actually at the point where that's normal.

Relax, you're on the downstream run now. 2-3 weeks to fluff up. and then see if you're happy?

Thanks and my thoughts too, "couple more weeks" ive been saying that for a while haha! This is the closest picture that i can get any thoughts? First grow so still learning a lot

As you can see the brown pistol issue, it really is weird

Yeah think that's what ill do, I've heard ww like to most of its swelling at the end. I'm never doing this strain again

It looks like it's coming along really well. Good job for your first grow!

 

[Fishloaf]

This is my first grow too. We're almost on the same page, as I'm on week 8.

Thanks i appreciate it nice to have some feedback, thought i messed it up tbh! Just hope they pack on some weight before they get chopped! Ill update this thread with pics as time goes on
