No switches other than the power and dimmer box.
Are my buds fattening ?
- Thread starter Yungtune
- Start date
Someone told me my plant is done I vegged for 8 weeks flowered currently 6 weeks breeder says 75 days from seed flowering time
I saw on the Spyder light that the dimmer kinda shows the veg light (20-60) and flower (60-80) so that makes sense to me
Rippey
So u think I should flush and chop cuz I’ve only been in flower for 6 weeks I thought I had another month left apt of trichomes are still clear

100% agree. overfeeding. nutrient burn. i was wondering about that when i saw the earlier pics with the ends of the leaves all but burnt off.

Don't cut them yet. And don't judge by number of weeks. If you can nurse them back to health and keep them growing long enough, you will yield some marginally smokeable bud. After that, you can focus on next grow.
Post new pics of the entire plant, closeups of the buds, and closeups of trichomes if you can. Then people here can advise on maturity.
Gotcha later on with the pics
Is this my bud starting to fatten?!

Plants look healthy and still way too pistilate. You may be anxious to take them down but patience will be rewarded.
I'm a relatively new grower. I have six jars of bud I harvested too early. It's good weed but my most recent harvest - for which I waited longer - is far superior.
If you gotta cut... cut. But, you'll be dissappointed.
The Waiting is the Hardest Part
Nah I have no problem waiting it’s just I don’t want to wait to long and it be cbd trichs all amber I check everyday most are clear /cloudy and sun amber but I was told since I over fed them that can cause plants pistils and trichs to amber or turn brown

You definitely got several weeks left untill harvest. But looks good.
I read untill about page 3 of this thread, sorry if I'm beating a dead horse... but are you looking at upgrading your light? At this point, that's your limiting factor I think.
Amazon shows it puts out only 430 u mol of light at its best... usually thats only at the very center... and real world will be lower.
You want a light with atleast 750-1000
And a ppfd map to show good light distribution. Not all the power right at the center, and nothing at the edges.
If you upgrade to something alittle stronger, you will be well rewarded.
This light you have would work to veg a small plant. But not enough for any huge buds
Sometimes I reccomend just going with a big, cheap 1000w hps, off your local buy, sell, trade. As long as you can control the heat, you can get some crazy good harvests. Then after saving up enough cash, buy a $600 LED and sell the HPS back where you got it.
Bulbs can be expensive for a regular HID system, along with electricity, you really do end up making your money back when you invest in quality LED
Yes hey let’s talk lights I’m thinking of buying one this week! I’ve been recommended Mars Hydro ts1000 or I was thinking this hiparagro 800w led lmk what you think is good Gonna buy want to buy Tuesday

How big of an area exactly are you trying to light?
If you honestly want to do a space tote... you might be best off with what you got haha
There's not much room in one of those, and a good LED is strong, and will want to be kept probably 18" away from the plants

Here is a really good list of majority of LED companies, it lists the LEDs from most effecient over 3 years, down to least effecient
Pretyy much everything on this list is a pretty good pick for a light, but starting at the top is the best buy.

This might be the light for you.
Great price (under $100)
Great PPFD
Great ppfd mapping
Great efficiency
Made for a 2x2 area

The most common limiting factor is lighting.
Spectrum, Efficiency, Wattage and Spread are the critical factors in LED.
Do not buy an LED with less than a 2.0 efficency, and buy one with a full spectrum, no blurples.
The ppfd chart shown above says at 30cm -- that is 12" below the light. Just to get 400umols. Not remotely efficient enough.
HLG is popular because the efficiencies are very high and spread/intensity is terrific...they are designed for one purpose, cannabis.
What brand u buy does not matter. But you cannot stimulate the plant to grow enough with what you have.

The viparspectra I shared above is only $10 more and IMO a much better light
Here is the mars PPFD map at 14"
And here is the Viparspectra at 14"
For a good yield, you want a of map of atleast 600
The mars is made for 1.5'x1.5' flower
The viper is made for 2x2 flower
The viperspectra has a good efficiency at 2.7 umol/j
The mars doesn't even list it that i can find.
The viper uses 150w
The mars uses 100w
Overall, the viper is a better light, with better bang for your buck.
