Am I on the right path?

Hey guys new to the group. Just started growing and this is currently my first grow. Quick little fly through. I have a Banana Punch and a LSD strain both in soil and currently in their 3rs week of flower. Im using a 600 watt led above and a 45 watt led panel on the side. Im running AN jungle juice 2 part bloom and AN big bud weeks 2-4 (got a sample at the hydro stop) and im on a 11/13 light schedule at around 41% humidity currently trying to speed it up a bit as im about to move. All i can think of at the moment, if you need more info just lemme know. Im attaching a few pics for you guys to check out. If you guys could give me some feedback based on seeing them i would be so appreciative. Do they look good in size compared to where their at in flower just whatever feedback possible. I will say i made a newbie mistake and took them all the way through veg on that 45w led panel before i realized i needed more wattage. Thank you guys so much20200815_185924.jpg20200815_185940.jpg20200815_185953.jpg20200815_190009.jpgScreenshot_20200812-143248.png20200815_185917_HDR.jpg20200815_185920.jpgScreenshot_20200812-143311.png

Yea i kinda thought so too im thinking probably die to the 45w led through veg jhsr didnt get the light they needed. Those buds should get a little bigger tho right?

Ok awesome thank you that makes me feel a lot better. The Banana Punch i kind of thinned out, topped, and have the branches tied down so each bud site can be a nice cola and the LSD i bent over early at a young age so all the side branches would then grow straight up into colas. Kind of just played around on em with techniques i researched.

Probably. Like i said i took them all the way through veg with just a little 45w led panel aboit 18 inches away. Ive only had a 600w led above them for 3 weeks now, i got it right when i switched to flower.

Hey man, good news is you're growing some healthy looking plant indoors. That's on the right track.

I definitely think whatever LED light you have above is holding you back on where your growth should be at. 600 watt is how it's labeled, but its not actually 600 watts. Very misleading marketing.

How long did you veg them for?

Also forgot to mention, to get optimal performance with led lighting, you want your tent temp to be low 80s. 79-84 type range. Temps at 69 is also not helping.

Least your plants look healthy. Thats the main thing. Everything else can be adjusted next round! ;)

I have a mother thats Afghani Kush its outside in a bucket its kind of just a porch plant for shits and giggles, but i pulled a few clones off of it, rooted them, and now i have them in dwc getting started under cfls. Gonna give em about 2 weeks veg then go into flower under the 600w led so im hoping those will turn out better, but im still not dissatisfied with these for my first grow to learn on. Ive learned a whole lot with this first grow especially from this site you guys have helped tremendously!!

Veg for 30-35 days for shits and giggles and see what happens.

Yea i think its only pulling like 130 true wattage so i added that 45w panel on the side and just added a 100w cfl to supplement, but thank you guys so much hearing that makes me feel a lot better. I have definetly learned a lot to do different next round. I vegged these ones in soil for about 28 days from clones. K have a buddy wkth a 1,000 watt led hes getting rid of for like 50 bucks im gonna pick up to add to the mix

you positive about getting a 1000 watts of led for 50 bucks? I thought about going led starting off, was told by a few members in here that it would cost over a thousand or more to get 1000 watt led setup compared to 200 dollars for a 1000 watt MH/HPS. Do your homework on whatever light your getting, don’t jump the gun.

Yea although i doubt its true 1000w prolly pulling around 350w true but i figured that with my 600w (130w true) together and some cfls should get it done what yall think? Same guy i just picked up my 4'x4'x8' for $20! Idk how i got so lucky but i snatched it up and got out of the closet finally lol.
