A month of flowering very little bud
- Thread starter Bpayne
- Start date
they are 4 26 watt soft white flourescent and 2 42 watt soft white flourescent, These plants have been flowering for about a month and a half, they started 12/12 from seed as I have time constraints, also those lights are the best I could afford, I am using flowering nutes but only started about 2 weeks ago, they are the nutes in the picture other than that they have had no other nutes except for a tiny bit of miracle grow about a month ago, so this is where its at, do you think they will fill out with bud? what should I do

i think if they do it will be a very small amount of bud... you need more light for sure.. with all the money for the lights housings you could of bought a 150 watt hps which would produce far greater results.... All I can tell you is either double the light that you have with cfls or buy a hps, which is what i would recommend... honsetly if i was you id get a hps and start over.. but thats just my opinion

You are giving them 12 hours of light and 12 hours of complete uninterupted darkness each day right? It doesn't look very "light proof" in there.

true, you need to make sure its completely dark for the full 12 hours
first of all I can't start over this is my only chance to grow, one of those pics you can see the buds that are growing like I said they are the pointy things, and what you are calling "light hoods" are ballasts I need them on the light to hold it up it has the clip that allows me to place my lights in position without those "hoods' I wouldn't be able to use the lights in the first place and the whole thing cost me about 50 bucks for the lights and ballasts( what your saying are light hoods) that hold them in place, I need to know what to do about the leaf browning should I flush them with water and stop feeding those nutes, switch nutes, or should I just give it more time and hope more bud grows in, I'm not going to be able to add more light that is the max I can fit and afford.
